The Alpha Alpha Chapter is proud of the commitment it has made to the surrounding community through philanthropic efforts. Below are brief descriptions of several activities the Alpha Alpha Chapter takes part in to support the community. Updated details of the Chapter's involvement can be found in the newsletter.
Kappa Cookout
Kappa Cookout is a traditional fundraiser for Pi Kappa Alpha. Historically taking place in the fall, Greek organizations that contain the letter Kappa are invited to co-sponsor the event. The cookout, which is catered and features a live band, takes place on the Wannamaker patio and is open to all Duke students who purchase a ticket. Proceeds from tickets to the event, koozies, and t-shirts are split between the sponsoring organizations’ chosen charities. Pi Kappa Alpha donates its share of the proceeds to its national philanthropy, the American Cancer Society.
Durham Little League
The Chapter has pledged a donation to sponsor a Durham Little League team. This donation will help cover their uniform and equipment expenses, and brothers are looking forward to the chance to spend time in the dugout mentoring the local youngsters on both baseball and life.
Durham Arts Council Centerfest Arts Festival- The Alpha Alpha Chapter brothers started volunteering at this annual event this past year. Our main service was physical labor in both set-up and clean up. The event featured over 150 different artists, both in the visual and performance fields, in support of the growing cultural diversity of Durham.
