:ra -- 'fy 5 ik Ph' Kappa Members gather at formal in early march. Other activities include pledge party, and workman parties at the house. Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity was found- ed as the only Canadian National Fraternity in l9l5 by the amalgama- tion of two local fraternities-Sigma Pi at the University of Toronto and Alpha Beta Gamma at McGill Univer- sity. Since its inception 56 years ago, Phi Kappa Pi has maintained the spirit of Canadianism by sponsoring chap- ters only at the major Canadian Uni- versities, until now they stretch from coast to coast and include Alberta, Manitoba, Toronto, McGill and Dal- housie. The local chapter of Phi Kappa Pi dates from l9l9 when, as the first fraternity on the campus of UBC, Alpha Iota was formed by ten men who wished to perpetuate a comrade- ship from overseas. After considering offers of amal- gamation from several United States Fraternities, some of which now have chapters on the campus, Alpha Iota decided in the Spring of 1924 to affili- ate with Phi Kappa Pi. The athletes had the cross country, volleyball, and basketball to occupy their time. ln the co-ed intramural program they affiliated with the Alpha Phis. Combined efforts were most successful as they are undefeated in volleyball. Fraternity House on Phi Kappa P2's was on 6th Avenue. Reading from top, left to right: Grant L. Ainscough, Tom D.
