The story of Pi Kappa Phi begins at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, where three student leaders began a tradition built upon the foundations of brotherhood and excellence.  These men: Andrew Alexander Kroeg Jr., Simon Fogarty Jr., and L. Harry Mixson are forever remembered by Pi Kapps the world over as the Founding Fathers of Pi Kappa Phi.

 

Soon Pi Kappa Phi chapters were started all over the nation and by the fifth chapter Pi Kappa Phi was already transcontinental at the University of California at Berkeley.   From small beginnings, Pi Kappa Phi has grown into one of the largest and most close knit fraternities in America thanks to the work of its many strong leaders. Today, Pi Kappa Phi stands today as you see it: one of the strongest fraternities bound together by unending ties of brotherhood.

 

Out of all of the national chapters, Mu Chapter has one of the most storied histories, dating back to 1915 when it was first awarded its charter by the Nationals Office.  From that moment on Pi Kapp at Duke was known for its leadership and commitment to the Duke community.  Today, the current incarnation of the Mu Chapter received its charter September 15, 2006 ending a long process that brought back one of the traditional fraternities to Duke’s campus.  Now, finally up and running again, the Mu Chapter is looking for its first class of Alphas in 82 years.
