Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity wins best risk management

By Sophia Blankmeyer 

Students were in shock once Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity was nominated and won the title of best risk management among Greeks at Utah State University. 

"It is great to know that the rules and regulations we've put in place are working as intended, and that we are holding each other accountable," said Ian Franklin, Pi Kappa Alpha chapter president. 

With suspensions in 2012 and 2015, prohibiting them from alcohol in the house, the fraternity was granted permission to allow it again this year. The fraternity has been caught with alcohol as much as a newborn has with milk.

"I personally didn't expect them to beat who they were up against, but I'm still impressed they've improved and glad they got an award," said Allison Kelley, a member of Kappa Delta Sorority. 

Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Chi and Delta Sigma Phi all received nominations for the award. More beer with a bitter palate will be consumed among the fraternities. 

"I am very pleased that they received the award because they have shown great improvement. It might assist in bettering Kappa Delta's relationship with Pi Kappa Alpha moving forward," said Abigail Lathem, Kappa Delta chapter president. 

The award could potentially sting the hearts of the victims who have been affected by the wrongdoings of the fraternity members in previous years.
