Pi Kappa Phi encourages freshmen members to live in the residence halls for at least one year. The residence halls are an excellent way to get involved on campus and make friends outside of the fraternity. It is also the #1 way to meet and recruit new members. However, freshmen are allowed to move into the house.

Homecoming is an original Mizzou tradition and one of the most memorable parts about being Greek. Each fall the alumni return to campus for a weekend to celebrate Mizzou spirit and pride. The fall
semester is dedicated to preparing for this memorable weekend. Greek chapters make house decorations, act in theater skits, complete service events, and donate blood. The Homecoming
weekend concludes with the football game where the Homecoming king and queen are announced.
The Traditions
Pi Kappa Phi FraternityGreek Week is a tradition very similar to Homecoming. However
unlike Homecoming, this event is specific to the Greek Community and is far less rigorous. But the competition is still fierce. This competition between Greek chapters takes place in the spring. The categories of competition include a skit, a
blood drive, service projects, and games.
Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity
Pi Kappa Phi has an official tailgating spot where brothers, alumni, friends, and parents can hang out and enjoy themselves before home football games.
A marriage party is an easy way to meet girls from the sorority we are paired with for Homecoming or Greek Week.
Social
During the year, we grill burgers and hot dogs provided by our house chef on the front porch. This is a great time to hang out with brothers and socialize with sorority girls.
Rose Ball is the name of our spring formal. Last year we went
to the Lake of the Ozarks and stayed at the Lodge of Four
Seasons. Pi Kappa Phi chartered a private yacht for the night and spent the evening having a good
time out on the lake.
