In our chapter's brief history, we have already achieved so much. We are not only being recognized on our very own campus, but also by our International Fraternity, as one of Pi Kappa Alpha's most successful chapters. Lambda Lambda at the University of California, Irvine is continuing to "Build the Dynasty of Garnet and Gold".

International Awards

These awards are announced each summer by our international headquarters. There are currently 221 chapters of Pi Kappa Alpha at Universities across North America. Receiving an award from our headquarters is an incredible achievement because it shows that our chapter is achieving success and recognition on a very large scale.
