New Pledge

Jake participated in all the rounds at RUSH at LSU... he narrowed it down to four, then two and called last night with his choice for BID. He was offered BIDS from three fraternities on campus, but chose the PiKapps... saying they most closely fit him. It helped too that some guys from his high school are upperclassmen there. He said he really felt like he fit in and that is what is important with brotherhood. Each fraternity will be a little different on different campuses and he felt this was the best choice for him and his future. I had never heard of them... so I did a little research last night for my benefit and yours....
