Commends the Upsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha at Auburn University on its 130th anniversary.

Pi Kappa Alpha "Pike" was founded March 1, 1868, at the University of Virginia; the Upsilon Chapter was established April 5, 1895, when Auburn University was still called Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama.

The Upsilon Chapter is the oldest Pi Kappa Alpha chapter to have never been silenced by the national fraternity or Auburn University in the 157 years of the fraternity's existence.

The chapter has initiated 3,480 members and remains one of the dominant fraternities at Auburn University, with core values of Scholar, Leader, Athlete, and Gentleman.

Extends best wishes for the organization's success in all future endeavors.
