Join PIKE at CMU Spring Carnival 2025!

Brothers and Alumni of the Beta Sigma Chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity:

Spring Carnival weekend at CMU is April 3-5, 2024.

All Pike alumni and families are encouraged to attend. It's a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends, meet fun brothers, and relive some of the best moments from our time at CMU. As always, we'll be rooting for PiKA Buggy during the races!
