At the Pike
University leadership school in August, chapter officers were
awarded their sixth consecutive Robert Adger Smythe Award, symbolic
of the top eight (major school) Pike chapters in the nation.
Other major school winners were the Pike chapters at Nebraska,
Michigan, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Cincinnati, Washington and
the University of Illinois.
Not only did Delta Lambda win the Smythe Award, we also won
two stand-alone trophies:
-
The 2007 National Rush Award, and
-
The 2007 National Public Relations Award

Courtyard before artificial turf
Chris Koch '01 writes: "Here is a picture of the newly "carpeted" courtyard. I've also attached a picture that I took a month ago of the courtyard before for contrast. These pictures were taken Saturday shortly before it was brushed (hence the lines) and completed. It looks great and as you can see is a vast improvement! The undergrads have been playing on it non-stop since it was installed and are very excited. Some of the Brothers have even been sleeping outside on the turf at night!"

Courtyard with new artificial turf
The splendid O. Ken Marks Foyer features a mirrored trophy case and a glass wall overlooking the courtyard. The front doors require an electronic code to enter.
Delta Lambda chapter history and achievements are displayed in the Doug Russell Legends Room located just off the foyer. The great oak doors leading into the Legends Room were designed for our chapter based on a set of doors in the Rotunda at the University of Virginia where Pi Kappa Alpha was founded in 1868.
The magnificent new Pi Kappa Alpha house at Florida State University is the largest fraternity house in the nation with more than 40,000 square feet under one roof. The new house features thirty two-man suites; each suite with its own full kitchen, living room and washer-dryer set. Each man has his own separate bedroom and bathroom.
The house was designed by award winning architect Brad Innis and built by Mad Dog Construction Company. The house cost more than $4.5 million and was funded by contrbutions through the Legends of Delta Lambda Campaign, Brent Sembler, Chairman.
