Details for 2016 PIKE Homecoming
The Alumni Association is once again pleased to host the 2016 PIKE Homecoming tailgate for our game against Indiana on October 22nd. The tailgate is being put on by the West Lot Warriors, a group PIKE Alumni dedicated to next level tailgating and all things Northwestern Football. Featured on the menu will be specialty brats, hot dogs, hamburgers, and Bobby Flay's chili along with beer, wine, and mixed drinks. The tailgate will be located in the far northeast corner of the West Lot on the corner of Ashland and Isabella.
The tailgate will begin at 7:30am and will cost $30 for alumni/guests and $20 for young alumni (2012+). We encourage you to PAY IN ADVANCE so we have enough food/drink for everyone. Payments can be made without a fee via Venmo here or PayPal to pikegammarhoalumni@gmail.com or directly by clicking the button below. We have also setup a Facebook event page to coordinate with other alumni about weekend activities here.

Gamma Rho Scholarship Endowment Continues to Grow
The Gamma Rho Endowment Fund which is used for student scholarship and expenses for Pike University is now in its second year. The fund is managed by a highly qualified team at the PIKE Foundation. The fund, which exclusively benefits Gamma Rho, is comprised of two accounts, the PIKE University Fund which has a balance of $100,000 and the John Jones Memorial Fund which has a balance of $38,000. The PIKE U fund is used to offset the expenses of sending Gamma Rho undergraduates to three unique PIKE U events each year including the summer conference. Fees for registration, travel, lodging, and meals can exceed $10,000 annually for the chapter. The Alumni Association has set out with a goal to achieve a balance of $250k in the PIKE U fund in order to fully cover these costs as the annual dividend is typically 4%. | | |
