Pi Alpha Honor Super Omnia Award
The Pi Alpha Honor Super Omnia Award is not an annual award.  It is given sparingly to brothers that have answered the call to serve their brothers and courageously stand for Pi Alpha and KDR.  This award is given to brothers that have placed our brotherhood before their own well-being – – Honor Above All Things.

Four brothers received this award in 2017:

Mike Carson and Dave Dorner for their immense courage in stepping forward to create the Pi Alpha Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho.

Evan Mahl and Nolan Serafin for standing against the odds and fighting with courage and decisiveness to save the Pi Alpha Chapter from elimination.

Pi Alpha Ordo Honoris – Alpha Class

On the evening of April 29, 2017 those attending Rose Formal witnessed an historic moment in the history of Pi Alpha – – the induction of seven (7) of our five-hundred (500) alumni brothers – – The Alpha Class – – into The Pi Alpha Ordo Honoris (hall of fame).

  1. In 1983 The KDR National Board of Directors created the distinction of Ordo Honoris (Order of Honor)
  2. This Award was originally given to Roman citizens for their contributions to their community.
  3. In January 2017 The Pi Alpha Alumni Chapter created The Pi Alpha Ordo Honoris designation to honor our alumni

The Pi Alpha Ordo Honoris designation is presented on an annual basis to brothers that have served Pi Alpha, KDR, their family, their profession, and/or their community in a manner that exemplifies all the best of a Pi Alpha and KDR Gentleman. Honor Super Omnia!
