Pi Kappa Phi was founded on December 10, 1904 at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. Today there are over 150 chapters nationwide with over 100,000 brothers initiated. The Beta Tau chapter of Pi Kappa Phi was chartered on January 17, 1959 making it the first fraternity on campus at Valdosta State University. Since our founding in 1959, Beta Tau has initiated just over 900 brothers. Beta Tau prides itself on its rich 50+ year history providing a large network of brothers. We are a first CLASS fraternity who firmly believes in the tenets of Character, Leadership, Academics, Sportsmanship, and Scholarship. These principles are not only valued but also instilled through leading edge educational, service, and leadership opportunities.

Pi Kappa Phi is the only national fraternity to establish and maintain its own national philanthropy, Push America. We also are the only student organization at Valdosta State that co-sponsors with the YMCA and United Way for the Challenger League. Pi Kappa Phi has been Greek Week Champions two of the past three years with a runner-up finish. We compete in every major intramural sport, while maintaining the second highest GPA as well. The Beta Tau chapter of Pi Kappa Phi provides the college experience like no other and lifelong brotherhood second to none.
