You can learn how your fraternity has developed the most significant alumni program in existance among fraternities. It is our Pi Kappa Phi Continuing Alumni Relations, Inc. (CAR) .. . . All of the rules and regulations, fees, ritual, officials,
names, titles, events, etc. which constitutes Pi Kappa Phi are in the hands of the Supreme Chapter. Only your delegates to the Supreme Chapter can change, add, delete, or alter. If you aren't here you really cannot complain, can you? ... All alumni designated as Mr. Pi Kappa Phi will be honored during the Founders Breakfast on Tuesday morning. This event, attended by all alumni is always a highlight of all Supreme Chapters. . . . The Francis Marion was the location for the 25th Anniversary and the 50th Anniversary. In other words, it is old. Some have described it as being "early archaic " . . . . Others would say older. Please expect an old,
ancient, and definitely not modern hotel. Charleston is a great place to visit. It is singularly unique. If you do not believe this, ask a Charlestonian. He will also tell you that "Charleston is where the Cooper and Ashley rivers join together to form the Atlantic Ocean" among other similar words of wisdom. However, it is also where the flower ladies will give you 13 flowers and charge you for 12. She calls this a "little broadus" 路路- something extra. And indeed Charleston is "something extra". But you will not know this unless you are there - for the 75th Year of Brotherhood, Pi Kappa Phi.
