CHARLOTTE, N.C.-An expansion team from Pi Kappa Phi National Headquarters will arrive at California State University, Long Beach this fall to start a new chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. Beginning in late October, the Pi Kappa Phi expansion team will spend four weeks recruiting men to be founding fathers of the new chapter. As founding fathers, the new group will make its own decisions, set its own rules and start its own traditions-effectively building the chapter from the ground up.
"Building your own fraternity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Scott Thomas, a member of Pi Kappa Phi's expansion team. "We want the men at CSULB to have that opportunity to make the most of their college experience."
While on campus, the Pi Kappa Phi expansion team will host informational presentations for interested students. For more information, please visit expansion.pikapp.org or contact Scott Thomas
The addition of Pi Kappa Phi to the CSULB Greek community will be the first since the mid-1990s. Other chapters of Pi Kappa Phi in the area include California State University, Northridge; California State University, Fullerton and UCLA.
The six member fraternities of the Interfraternity Council at California State University, Long Beach have announced plans to double the size of their council over the next four years.
"We are very excited about the opportunity for growth within our Greek community," said Matthew Hachenberger, IFC President, "and we have selected organizations that will really make the entire community stronger."
For more information on any of the new fraternities at CSULB, please call the Greek Life office at (562) 985-7501.
