The cannon, a symbol for the local chapter, has been taken to various events, intramural football games and parades, pulled by willing members. A house was purchased on Jackson Street by Pi Kappa Phi, making them the sixth fraternity to have a residence in Thi- bodaux. Active since 1974, the group pitched in with the painting of the Thibodaux Senior Cltizen's Home. The group also sponsors an annual Halloween party for the children of the Acadia Day Care Center.

Several Pi Kappa Phi clowns escorted the children of the Acadia Day Care Center to different offices on campus for a Halloween trick or treat. A full chapter retreat was held in April at Grand Isle for a weekend.
