Fiscal woes befalls Pikes
By Jolayne Houtz
Of the Emerald
The 50-year old University
chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity folded during the
summer because of financial
difficulties, says Mitch Vance,
Interfraternity Council
president.
‘‘The situation kept
perpetuating itself and
ultimately the chapter had to be
closed,” Vance says.
The closure was actually
done by the Internal Revenue
Service because of back taxes
and rent that had not been paid,
but Vance cites many other
obstacles the chapter had to
face.
About three or four years ago,
the “Pikes” lost their lease on
what is now the Maranatha
Christian Center and were forc
ed to seek new housing. The
new Pike house was not as large
as the first, so not as many
members could live in it. Mon
thly per-member house bills
soared to $300 a month, the
highest on campus.
To complicate the situation,
the 1982-83 house treasurer,
Darren Berg, was accused by
fraternity members of funneling
$21,000 in fraternity funds into
his business account to save his
dying business, Darren Berg
Tours.
The case has never been
resolved, and the missing
money "came down like a lead
brick,” Vance says.
"The house just wasn’t strong
enough, especially financially,
to bounce back after all that
happened.”
Vance explained further, "It
was especially tough for them
(Pi Kappa Alpha members)
because they had no support
from their nationals. In my opi
nion, the national fraternity
turned around and stabbed
them in the back.
The chapter made a combined
effort to eliminate their debts,
including payment plans with
creditors, but “eventually it got
to a serious state, and when the
IRS steps in, you’re history,”
Vance says.
This year, the chapter made
an effort to “recolonize” and
find housing while par
ticipating in rush, but Vance
says there was “no support
from nationals, alumni or
within the house," and (chapter
president) Lea Davies decided
he couldn’t do it on his own.
The Pikes’ charter was revok
ed through the University after
the IRS closed the house, and it
will probably be revoked
through the Pi Kappa Alpha na
tional organization as well.
“A few years ago, they had
one of the highest memberships
on campus, they were very ac
tive in the Greek system —
we’re very disappointed to see
them leaving,” Vance says.
A few other fraternities are
also rumored to be having
financial problems, but Vance is
optimistic about their recovery.
“The houses we were worried
about had a decline in member
ship over the past few years,
poor officer changes and finan
cial problems, but two specific
houses had the most improve
ment in membership during
rush. There’s no reason why
they can’t get back on their feet
again this year,” Vance says.
