PIKE NOW 2024

In what has now become an annual fundraising event, PIKE Now 2024 was organized by Pi Kappa Alpha Inter/National Fraternity (PiKA Memphis), the PIKE Now Chapter Challenge (PIKE Now) for 2023 has come to a close with a record amount of dollar donations.

PIKE Now was initially created in 2020 as a fundraising event to deal with the negative effects of the COVID 19 virus on PiKA chapters across the nation. The donations received will provide PIKE University scholarships, bolstering Chapter Endowment Funds (CEF) for silent chapters to use after recolonization, and to fund PiKA initiatives and programs intended to develop personal and professional improvements in individual members. PiKA promotes members to develop lifelong fraternal friendships, create a culture of health and safety in PiKA chapters, promote DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) within PiKA chapters, and achieve operational excellence in our chapters.

PIKE Now 2024 set a personal goal to raise $500,000. With 197 chapters participating, $444,227.35 has been donated. Last year, $524,205 was raised, which was an increase of $115,000 above the total for 2022. Donations sent in by 13 brothers of Zeta Epsilon and the Chapter have donated $7,488.50. This total ranked sixth among all chapters.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, Zeta Epsilon surpassed the $5,000 mark and has received certain awards. Zeta Epsilon was one of twenty-five chapters to receive a free 3-night stay at the Historic Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, for the Chapter Executives Conference in January 2024.

Zeta Epsilons’s total donations will be split evenly between PIKE University scholarships and PiKA Memphis fraternity programming. Those Zeta Epsilon Brothers who so generously contributed toward the success of PIKE Now are:
