OF COURSE you agree with Conard. Birds of a feather and all that.

No one here cares what you say in your drunken haze.

Where's your good friend Zippy Zamboni to support you in your ignorance?

Why I Brought Pi Kappa Alpha to Howard

Issue date: 4/12/06 Section: Editorials

T. J. Lewis

In September of 2005, I was entering my last and final undergraduate year at Howard University. My overall experience at Howard, at that point had been one filled with fond memories of lifelong friends and experiences. Still, however, I felt there was more I could do. In that same month, I had been talking to a friend of mine who was from George Washington University, about being a member of his fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha. The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity only accepted men who stood for being Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen. I felt that those pillars were something I could guide my life with.

After a lengthy conversation, he told me I couldn't join at George Washington, because I wasn't a student at GW. After a little research, I found that I could start a colony of Pi Kappa Alpha, if my present school didn't have a chapter. And that is what I did, along with the help of some of my closest friends, who are now my fraternal brothers. We became members of the fraternity because we felt Pi Kappa Alpha was something that could help us better ourselves and our school. Right now, I'm running as a Democratic Candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates District 45. I'm running for a number of reasons, but a major one is because I truly believe that I will do a better job than current delegates in office. The same mentality I had when I decided to run, was the same one that I had when I decided to join Pi Kappa Alpha. I felt I would be a better man, because of the principles that the fraternity was founded on. We, as the newest members of Pi Kappa Alpha, have been granted the same duties started by the six founders of Pi Kappa Alpha on March 1, 1868, and that duty is to simply find the best collegiate men on our respected campus, and make them better men. There are some who think me, along with my fraternal brothers, are wrong for bringing Pi Kappa Alpha to Howard. I must ask why? The reason why we brought another fraternity is because a fraternity brings a sense of brotherhood, pride, and service.

The present fraternities at Howard are ones that are not only some of the greatest in the world, but also its members are some of the best on Howard's campus. Why not add more to the pot? Why not have another great international fraternity, which could create even more great Howard men? Fraternities are founded to assemble men of a certain character to not only excel in their own lives, but help the lives of others. All fraternities were founded on those principles regardless of race, color, religion and creed.

On my last note, I would like to thank those who have supported the brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha thus far, and I would like to extend a hand of tranquility and progression to others we have not had the privilege to work with yet.

As far as I'm concerned, this is all these young men have to worry about. Doing what they feel is best for THEM! Not the other D9 Greeks; not the non-participating people (non HU students) on GC, but THEMSELVES.

Whether or not people like them--they've already established a colony-chapter at Howard. Whether or not people like the fraternity they chose--they already chose it. Whether or not anyone feels like they are breaking down the traditional fiber at Howard is also beyond the point----at the end of the day, what they do, how they do, and why they do what they do is all they have to worry about.

It's about time people get over it---and people get over people not getting over it as well.

I still have questions: Why his senior year? Had he or others seriously looked at or applied to the other 'great' fraternities at Howard? Its interesting that he is running for political office and can now list his fraternity affiliation, isn't it? Does he think that being a Pike will help more than being an Alpha or an Omega?...

I guess people have to understand that as a Howard student who KNOWS members of this PIKE colony, they are getting hated on so bad because a lot of them joined PIKE out of impatience for the return of Kappa Alpha Psi... I mean. its common knowledge. I think its a crime to pledge (or join) something because you are too lazy to go grad, and you want letters right then... and their president just wanted to leave his mark on Howard and he did just that... I know many people who are in PKA that love it, and are in it for the right reasons, but they are not among the colonials at Howard. HU isn't the place for PIKE (HONESTLY), and its unfortunate. PIKE is social/service (from my understanding.. correct any ignorance), so since they want to be PIKE so bad and feel that PKA represents them better than any other org, they shouldn't try to be D9... simple...

p.s. the general sentiment @ HU is the hope that this will be the first... and last time we see a "pledge class" for pike...

Evidently it's not the place for them except they did real well and got a lot of guys. That makes sense.

good point.

Not that it needs to be discussed further, but a good friend of mine( not greek) had pointed out to me the reaction of my Hilltop perspective on this particular mb. I dont really entertain mbs, but I felt post Howard this may be helpful.

"Jeron, you are full of BS. Heck instead of ending your "editorial" when you said "I refuse to let this ignorance continue", you kept right on spewing nonsense, which proves that you're full of BS right there alone.

I can go on and on, but you aren't worth it, pal.

Dang, what a pompous, arrogant jackass.

Long live Pike at Howard!"


To address the simple minded, the article wasnt about pikes although the majority are those who have failed dishonorably to join the nphc...which is why they were mentioned. I can easily explain the reason in which the article was written and who it was written for( although it states it in the article).
