Three-Peat for Pike Beach Soccer Team
The Lambda Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha continued its tradition of competing in the annual Cape Express Beach Blast Soccer Tournament for their third year in a row. Pike’s eight-man team was cheered on by more than 20 fellow brothers, as well as many family members and friends. The team won their respective bracket with winning scores of 9-6, 10-4, and 4-2. Pi Kappa Alpha prevailed in the finals with a nail-biting 4-3 win to be named the Men’s Open Division Champions for the third year in a row. Over 950 teams play their games on 30x40 yard plots of sand on the beaches of Wildwood, NJ. Five players, four plus a keeper, compete in three 12 minute periods each game.
When the team was not playing their barefoot soccer matches, they were enjoying the beautiful weather and ocean water. Much fun was had, many memories were made, and there are hopes of an even larger turnout next year.

Relay For Life 2009
Relay for Life
April 4, 2009
Drexel Armory
On April 4th, students flocked to the Drexel Armory with tents and other camping materials in preparation for 12 hours of well deserved fun. With over 60 teams and 450 individuals signed up for this year’s Relay For Life, people were able to celebrate the incredible feat of raising over $50,000. The 12 hour walk is an event designed to cultivate the spirit of collective efforts through fundraising and awareness in the pursuit to find a cure for cancer. Participants not walking participated in various activities including a pie-eating contest, Root Beer pong, Quizzo, Quoits, Raffles, a frozen t-shirt contest, and the widely popular ‘Ms. Relay’ Competition.
As always, Greek Life came out strong to support our chapter and this event. Every PHC sorority, a handful of MGC organizations, and the majority of IFC fraternities formed teams and raised 65% of the overall funds. Throughout the armory, pockets of Greek-lettered shirts and campsites made the presence of Drexel Greek Life apparent. We are happy to report that the unity of Greek Life is presenting itself as an advantage to generate support for great causes such as this. As we continue this tradition of Relay For Life in coming years, we are optimistic that Drexel Greeks will be at the forefront in our effort to Celebrate, Remember, and Fight back against cancer.

Congratulations to the Xi Class.
Congratulations to the Xi Pledge Class on their recent Initiation. This pledge class has been working extremely hard since the end of October on learning and preparing themselves to be members of the Pi Kappa Alpha Lambda Zeta Chapter. The Xi class performed over 600 hours of community service and fundraised over $2,000 as a pledge class. Our chapter welcomed them with open arms and we are proud to finally call them brothers.
