The Kappas are unexpectedly welcomed back to campus. (Some speculate that it's related to the mayor and his brother being Kappas in the sponsoring alumni chapter)
The Pike colony fails.
Several of the 44 recolonizing members of KAPsi were former Pikes. Several other former Pikes went on to become Kappas through alumni chapters.
Privately, several Pikes told me they felt that the colonization policies were too stringent for a chapter to ever be able to succeed at Howard. This is not even including the loyalty issues among the colonizers.
My own moral to this story is that I believe an NIC fraternity could work at Howard, but it would have to be one which was intentionally nonsectarian in its founding and made up of men who were not of the NPHC mold at all.

LOL.
PiKA2001, this is what the PiKA failure at HU has to (jokingly) do with a PiKA posting this months-old story about Kappa.
