The Theta Omicron alumni and undergraduate leadership have developed a solid plan to address the long-term viability of the Pi Kappa Alpha experience on the Indiana State University campus. Through careful study, assessment, and planning, they determined that several significant updates and an addition to the chapter house are necessary to meet the needs of today’s students and to keep their chapter number one at ISU. Working with Holder Design Architects and Keymark Development, the Theta Omicron House Corporation has developed a tactical approach to their future.
