Our purpose
The charge for the Iota Psi Alumni Association is to maintain and strengthen the strong Brotherly ties among the many Alumni of Iota Psi and in our actions reaffirm the creed of Pi Kappa Alpha: to live life with honor and courage, seek the inherent worth in each person, accept all brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha in love and friendship, and to serve our faiths, families, communities, alma mater, the International Fraternity, and the Iota Psi active chapter.
Built across generations.
