Welcome	
  	
  
Pi	
  Kappa

this	
   Leadership	
   Summit,

   the	
   amazing	
   opportunities	
  
available	
   through

   International	
   Fraternity.	
  
This	
  experience	
  is

  for	
  every	
  member	
  of	
  Pi	
  Kappa	
  Alpha	
  alike	
  –	
  whether	
  
you	
  are	
  a	
  loyal	
  alumnus	
  volunteer,	
  seasoned	
  chapter	
  officer	
  or	
  you	
  just	
  received	
  
your	
  bid	
  last	
  week.	
  Joining	
  your	
  chapter	
  was	
  the	
  first	
  step	
  in	
  what	
  we	
  hope	
  will	
  
be	
  a	
  lifelong	
  and

  Kappa	
  Alpha	
  experience.	
  Much	
  will	
  be	
  expected	
  
from	
  you	
  upon	
  your	
  return	
  to	
  your	
  campus.	
  
Over	
   the	
   course	
   of	
   the	
   leadership	
   summit,	
   you	
   will	
   learn	
   about	
   our	
  
Fraternity’s	
  history,	
  how	
  to	
   create	
  and	
   maintain	
  an	
  excellent	
  chapter	
   culture,	
  
experience

   development	
   enrichment,	
   and	
   how	
   you	
   can	
   refine	
   your	
  
leadership	
  skills	
  and	
  talents.	
  Our	
  goal	
  is	
  to

My	
   first	
   international	
   experience	
   with	
   Pi	
   Kappa	
   Alpha	
   was	
   attending	
   our	
  
International	
  Conference	
  in	
  Atlanta,	
  Georgia	
  in	
  2000.	
  It	
  was	
  the	
  first	
  time	
  I	
  
had	
  traveled	
  so	
  far	
  without	
  family,	
  and	
  I	
  can	
  honestly	
  say	
  that	
  it	
  was	
  a	
  life	
  
changing	
   experience.	
   From	
   a	
   variety	
   of	
   educational	
   workshops	
   to	
   helping	
  
delegates	
   from	
   across	
   the	
   US	
   and	
   Canada	
   form	
   policy,	
   I	
   learned	
   many	
  
valuable	
   lessons	
   about	
   working	
   with	
   others	
   from	
   wildly	
   different	
   backgrounds.	
   Putting	
  
myself	
  outside	
  of	
  my	
  comfort	
  zone	
  geographically	
  also	
  gave	
  me	
  the	
  confidence	
  to	
  seek	
  out	
  
other	
   opportunities	
   within	
   Pikes,	
   from	
   Edmonton	
   to	
   Cincinnati	
   to	
   Chicago,	
   which	
   in	
   turn	
  
gave	
   me	
   the	
   confidence	
   to	
   pursue	
   international	
   opportunities	
   in	
   my	
   professional	
   and	
  
personal	
  life,	
  having	
  travelled	
  in	
  over	
  50	
  countries	
  and	
  worked	
  in	
  places	
  ranging	
  from	
  Kenya	
  
to	
   Korea.	
   I	
   can	
   honestly	
   and	
   wholeheartedly	
   say	
   that	
   none	
   of	
   these	
   things	
   would	
   have	
  
happened	
  if	
  I	
  didn’t	
  take	
  that	
  “first	
  step”	
  on	
  to	
  the	
  plane	
  to	
  Atlanta	
  with	
  my	
  brothers	
  from	
  Pi	
  
Kappa	
   Alpha.

What	
  is	
  Pike	
  University	
  and	
  how	
  it	
  contributed	
  to	
  my	
  professional	
  life	
  after	
  
school?	
  
Active	
   listening,	
   value	
   selling,	
   conflict	
   resolution,	
   budget	
   management,	
   and	
  
motivational	
  leadership...these	
  are	
  all	
  skills	
  I	
  use	
   on	
  a	
  daily	
   basis	
  as	
  a	
   sales	
  
professional.	
  	
  These	
  skills	
  have	
  proven	
  invaluable	
  to	
  my	
  professional	
  success	
  and	
  the	
  time	
  I	
  
spent	
  at	
  Pike	
  University	
  armed	
  me	
  with	
  the	
  knowledge,	
  guidance	
  and	
  hands	
  on	
  training	
  to	
  
develop	
  these	
  skills.	
  	
  I	
  had	
  the	
  privilege	
  of	
  attending	
  three	
  Pike	
  University	
  conferences	
  (two	
  
in	
   Memphis	
   and	
   one	
   in	
   Chicago)	
   and	
   after	
   learning	
   new	
   skills	
   at	
   those	
   conferences,	
   the	
  
Laurier	
  Pike	
  Chapter	
  itself	
  provided	
  the	
  perfect	
  facility	
  for	
  practicing	
  and	
  refining	
  these	
  skills	
  
before	
  beginning	
  my	
  professional	
  career.	
  	
  As	
  such,	
  I	
  believe	
  every	
  member	
  of	
  Pi	
  Kappa	
  Alpha	
  
should	
   attend	
   as	
   many	
   Pike	
   University	
   events	
   as	
   they	
   are	
   able	
   to	
   because	
   there	
   is	
   not	
   a	
  
single	
  skill	
  I	
  gained	
  at	
  a	
  Pike	
  University	
  event	
  that	
  is	
  not	
  transferable	
  and	
  a	
  differentiator	
  as	
  a	
  
young	
  professional.

Pike	
  U	
  gave	
  me	
  the	
  opportunity	
  to	
  network,	
  well	
  beyond	
  the	
  borders	
  of	
  my	
  
campus	
  or	
  LinkedIn	
  profile.	
  Having	
  shared	
  drinks	
  with	
  students	
  and	
  alumni,	
  
Pike	
  U	
  exposed	
  me	
  to	
  the	
  world	
  of	
  high	
  finance	
  and	
  American	
  politics.	
  I	
  was	
  
offered	
   several	
   employment	
   opportunities	
   upon	
   graduation,	
   one	
   of	
   which	
  
was	
  as	
  a	
  Chapter	
  consultant	
  and	
  the	
  other	
  as	
  a	
  hedge	
  fund	
  wholesaler.	
  The	
  
knowledge	
  and	
  experience	
  I've	
  gained	
  as	
  a	
  result	
  of	
  Pike	
  U	
  is	
  unmatched,	
  the	
  friends	
  I've	
  
made	
  and	
  the

  I	
  hold	
  are	
  unbreakable.

From

My	
   experiences	
  with	
   Pike	
  University	
  conferences	
  started	
  
after	
   I	
   attended	
   my	
   first	
   one	
   in	
   Baltimore	
   during	
   the	
  
summer	
   of	
   2014.	
   Since	
   then,	
   I	
   have	
   attended	
   6	
   other	
  
conferences	
   in	
   many	
   different	
   cities	
   across	
   the	
   United	
  
States.	
  	
  
Pike	
   University	
   is	
   really	
   one	
   of	
   the	
   premier	
   leadership	
  
development	
  programs	
  available	
  for	
  undergraduates	
  for	
  a	
  
variety	
   of	
   unique	
   reasons.	
   It	
   allows	
   you	
   to	
   expand	
   your	
  
network	
   and	
   connect	
   with	
   undergraduate	
   students	
   from	
  
different	
   Universities	
   across	
   the	
   United	
   States	
   and	
  
Canada.	
  Workshops	
  such	
  as	
  Financial	
  Planning,	
  Budgeting,	
  
Fitness	
   &	
   Wellness	
   and	
   Public	
   Speaking	
   give	
   you	
   the	
  
opportunity	
  to	
  pick	
  up	
  skills	
  necessary	
  to	
  develop	
  yourself	
  
personally.	
   Parallel	
   to	
   this,	
   workshops	
   such	
   as	
   Public	
  
speaking,	
  Branding	
  Yourself,	
  and	
  Finding	
  Your	
  Dream	
  Job	
  
all	
  cultivate	
  your	
  skills	
  so	
  that	
  you	
  may	
  excel	
  and	
  hit	
  the	
  ground	
  running	
  when	
  you	
  hit	
  the	
  
professional	
  world.	
  	
  
Pike	
   University	
   has	
   had	
   a	
   lasting	
   impact	
   on	
   my	
   undergraduate	
   career,	
   far	
   more	
   than	
  
many	
   other	
   opportunities	
   at	
   University.	
   Through	
   meeting	
   many	
   different	
  
undergraduates	
  across	
  North	
  America	
  I	
  have	
  expanded	
  my	
  network	
  across	
  all	
  regions	
  of	
  
the	
  United	
  States	
  that	
  have	
  begun	
  to	
  benefit	
  me	
  already,	
  and	
  will	
  continue	
  to	
  do	
  so	
  as	
  I	
  
grow	
   into	
   the	
   professional	
   world.	
   After	
   sitting	
   through	
   many	
   workshops,	
   my	
   public	
  
speaking,	
   confidence	
   and	
   ability	
   to	
   manage	
   my	
   personal	
   finances	
   has	
   exponentially	
  
improved.	
   I	
   would	
   highly	
   recommend	
   that	
   you	
   consider	
   sending	
   your	
   child	
   to	
   Pike	
  
University	
  conferences	
  and	
  conventions.	
  Whether	
  they	
  be	
  regional	
  summits	
  in	
  Chicago	
  
or	
  Philadelphia,	
  or	
  larger	
  conventions	
  in	
  the	
  Memphis	
  –	
  The	
  ability	
  to	
  grow	
  a	
  network	
  
paired	
  with	
  personal	
  and	
  professional	
  development,	
  will	
  really	
  pay	
  not	
  only	
  short	
  term,	
  
but	
  also	
  long-­‐term	
  dividends	
  for	
  your	
  child.	
  
 
	
  
We	
  look	
  forward	
  to	
  your	
  attendance	
  at	
  
the	
  Chicago	
  Leadership	
  Summit	
  	
  
February	
  5-­‐7th

  • 3. +   My   first   international   experience   with   Pi   Kappa   Alpha   was   attending   our   International  Conference  in  Atlanta,  Georgia  in  2000.  It  was  the  first  time  I   had  traveled  so  far  without  family,  and  I  can  honestly  say  that  it  was  a  life   changing   experience.   From   a   variety   of   educational   workshops   to   helping   delegates   from   across   the   US   and   Canada   form   policy,   I   learned   many   valuable   lessons   about   working   with   others   from   wildly   different   backgrounds.   Putting   myself  outside  of  my  comfort  zone  geographically  also  gave  me  the  confidence  to  seek  out   other   opportunities   within   Pikes,   from   Edmonton   to   Cincinnati   to   Chicago,   which   in   turn   gave   me   the   confidence   to   pursue   international   opportunities   in   my   professional   and   personal  life,  having  travelled  in  over  50  countries  and  worked  in  places  ranging  from  Kenya   to   Korea.   I   can   honestly   and   wholeheartedly   say   that   none   of   these   things   would   have   happened  if  I  didn’t  take  that  “first  step”  on  to  the  plane  to  Atlanta  with  my  brothers  from  Pi   Kappa   Alpha.   -­‐   Kirk   McCullough,   Teacher   with   the   Toronto   District   School   Board,   Wilfrid   Laurier  Class  2001,  Kappa  Mu  1998   What  is  Pike  University  and  how  it  contributed  to  my  professional  life  after   school?   Active   listening,   value   selling,   conflict   resolution,   budget   management,   and   motivational  leadership...these  are  all  skills  I  use   on  a  daily   basis  as  a   sales   professional.    These  skills  have  proven  invaluable  to  my  professional  success  and  the  time  I   spent  at  Pike  University  armed  me  with  the  knowledge,  guidance  and  hands  on  training  to   develop  these  skills.    I  had  the  privilege  of  attending  three  Pike  University  conferences  (two   in   Memphis   and   one   in   Chicago)   and   after   learning   new   skills   at   those   conferences,   the   Laurier  Pike  Chapter  itself  provided  the  perfect  facility  for  practicing  and  refining  these  skills   before  beginning  my  professional  career.    As  such,  I  believe  every  member  of  Pi  Kappa  Alpha   should   attend   as   many   Pike   University   events   as   they   are   able   to   because   there   is   not   a   single  skill  I  gained  at  a  Pike  University  event  that  is  not  transferable  and  a  differentiator  as  a   young  professional.  –  Billy  Hutzul   Pike  U  gave  me  the  opportunity  to  network,  well  beyond  the  borders  of  my   campus  or  LinkedIn  profile.  Having  shared  drinks  with  students  and  alumni,   Pike  U  exposed  me  to  the  world  of  high  finance  and  American  politics.  I  was   offered   several   employment   opportunities   upon   graduation,   one   of   which   was  as  a  Chapter  consultant  and  the  other  as  a  hedge  fund  wholesaler.  The   knowledge  and  experience  I've  gained  as  a  result  of  Pike  U  is  unmatched,  the  friends  I've   made  and  the  connections  I  hold  are  unbreakable.  I  am  PIKE  U.  -­‐  Leif  Erickson,  former  two-­‐ time  treasurer  and  currently  working  in  corporate  finance.     Alumni  Testimonials

  • 5. From  the  President   Saif  Dadabhoy   My   experiences  with   Pike  University  conferences  started   after   I   attended   my   first   one   in   Baltimore   during   the   summer   of   2014.   Since   then,   I   have   attended   6   other   conferences   in   many   different   cities   across   the   United   States.     Pike   University   is   really   one   of   the   premier   leadership   development  programs  available  for  undergraduates  for  a   variety   of   unique   reasons.   It   allows   you   to   expand   your   network   and   connect   with   undergraduate   students   from   different   Universities   across   the   United   States   and   Canada.  Workshops  such  as  Financial  Planning,  Budgeting,   Fitness   &   Wellness   and   Public   Speaking   give   you   the   opportunity  to  pick  up  skills  necessary  to  develop  yourself   personally.   Parallel   to   this,   workshops   such   as   Public   speaking,  Branding  Yourself,  and  Finding  Your  Dream  Job   all  cultivate  your  skills  so  that  you  may  excel  and  hit  the  ground  running  when  you  hit  the   professional  world.     Pike   University   has   had   a   lasting   impact   on   my   undergraduate   career,   far   more   than   many   other   opportunities   at   University.   Through   meeting   many   different   undergraduates  across  North  America  I  have  expanded  my  network  across  all  regions  of   the  United  States  that  have  begun  to  benefit  me  already,  and  will  continue  to  do  so  as  I   grow   into   the   professional   world.   After   sitting   through   many   workshops,   my   public   speaking,   confidence   and   ability   to   manage   my   personal   finances   has   exponentially   improved.   I   would   highly   recommend   that   you   consider   sending   your   child   to   Pike   University  conferences  and  conventions.  Whether  they  be  regional  summits  in  Chicago   or  Philadelphia,  or  larger  conventions  in  the  Memphis  –  The  ability  to  grow  a  network   paired  with  personal  and  professional  development,  will  really  pay  not  only  short  term,   but  also  long-­‐term  dividends  for  your  child.
