Areas of Focus

The goals of alumni chapters can be broken down into five objectives, the first being Infrastructure, the basic framework that an organization needs in order to maintain sustainably. These required actions must be completed each year in order to be remain in good standing. The other four make up the key components of alumni engagement: Information, Interaction, Involvement and Investment.

The Five Areas of Alumni Chapter Excellence not only provide a roadmap to determine what to focus on / prioritize, they also allow for others to understand what each alumni chapter provides. For the purposes of communicating the extent of alumni chapter operations and evaluating performance for awards, the Five Areas of Alumni Chapter Excellence stratify alumni organizations into several status levels based on the total number of actions that completed each year.

Recognized alumni chapters are those who have the basic requirements completed each year in order to remain ‘in good standing’ with the national headquarters. These requirements are enough to achieve and maintain an alumni chapter charter, and be afforded the following rights:

• Liability Coverage
• 10 Votes at Supreme Chapter
• Recognition on Pi Kappa Phi website and in Star & Lamp
• Regular communication and educational opportunities through the national headquarters.
