Kappa Pi Beta Fraternity, Inc. - Beta Chapter at UIC
Share
"UNITY IS THE BEGINNING OF BROTHERHOOD!" “At the frontier city of diversity, nine men persevered to aid the dreams of expanding Kappa Pi Beta Fraternity, Inc.
In the winter of December 14, 2008, Kappa Pi Beta was expanded to the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Charters: Daniel Kim, Mateusz Greczek, Dexter Teng, Edmar Viloria, William Lui, Stefan Murakami, George Joseph, Richard Chang, and Antonio Martinez decided to build upon the ideals of our founding fathers. The foundation of this fraternity is built upon instilling and expressing gentlemen v
alues that should not be forgotten. Fulfilling the values of this fraternity and paving way for other Asian-American organizations, we strive to strengthen and unify the Asian community. As brothers of Kappa Pi Beta, we shall not waver from the foundation of this fraternity.”
As a new Greek Organization on campus, we are excited to have the opportunity to bring the values that Kappa Pi Beta stands for to the UIC community. Brothers of Kappa Pi Beta always seek to defy the the common stereotypes of fraternities, and seek to improve themselves in and outside of school. We strive to uphold our virtues of respect and discipline while maintaining a high academic standard. Our goal is to help the community through community service, and spread Asian awareness while instilling leadership and gentleman values. Within the next few years, we hope to grow to become a major part of our community.
“As a brother of Kappa Pi Beta, I will strive hard to further the existence of this great fraternity. I will do my best to bring forth a bond of unity to all of my fellow brothers that will stand the test of time. Along with the close relationships that are built, I pledge to promote academic excellence, brotherhood, cultural awareness, social mobility, philanthropy, gentlemen values, and respect towards the individual and community. Regardless of the letters I wear, what organization I am in, or national origin, I will set the example that unity is the ultimate beginning of brotherhood. I will use these attributes as development of my character and retain them even beyond my years of higher learning.”
Come join us with the ladies of alpha Kappa Delta Phi in a night filled with fun and games! Meet us in front of the the UlC bookstore at 5:30

NAPA UNITY Day 10: Belonging
“Kappa Pi Beta doesn’t give you friends, it welcomes you into a family.”
Even unspoken, every brother not only knows this in his mind, but feels it in his heart. Every last gentleman has earned their place in this family; right where they belong.

DID YOU KNOW that besides the well-known effects of increasing your physical and mental wellbeing, physical activity is also scientifically proven to be the BEST way to slow cognitive aging? That’s true, look it up.
Pictured is KPiB’s social with the UIC Archery Club, as well as our dodgeball social with Alpha Psi Lambda; because a healthy body is a healthy mind.
Stay active, stay safe, and happy holidays everybody.
With love,
The brothers of Kappa Pi Beta
