Chapter Brings Home Top Honor at Annual Conference
After earning the House of the Year award last year, Gamma Rho received a host of awards from the Fraternity at this year’s International Convention award ceremonies. The convention is held every other year at rotating locations with this year's event held in New Orleans. Members of the Chapter that attended the Academy included SMC Keaton Sullivan (’15), VP of Finance Sahil Massand (’15), and Health & Safety VP Chris Crouch (’16). In addition to having the 2nd best GPA for the entire Fraternity, Gamma Rho also won the Chuck Wagon award for having the best meal at International Work Day.
A huge thanks to all the alumni who have donated their time and money to help make the Northwestern PIKE a premier chapter! | | | Actives and Alumni at the PIKE House for International Work Day |

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%. | | |
