The Pi Kappa Alpha DePaul Colony is fresh, therefore we technically have no alumni until our first seniors graduate in the summer. However, since we are PIKE, we automatically become part of one of the most prestigious alumni networks in the world! PIKE alumni hold esteemed positions in virtually every profession and are always looking to help a Brother out.


As a colony we have PIKE alumni that live in Chicago come to colony meetings every other week and share experiences, wisdom and job/interenship opportunities with us. We have regular Alumni dinners in several locations in Down Town Chicago, one of which was the Gentlemen's Club in the Chase Tower! We also have an alumni advisor, Mike Auda, who mentors us and helps us become an even stronger colony.

Some well known PIKES include:
