Alumni Survey
While getting the information abuot this site to St. Louis area alumni, Matt Ellis and I ran into a problem. The contact sheet for chapter alums is out of date, despite the best efforts of dedicated people like Andy Axsom.
Matt created a means to acquire up to date, accurate information, in the form of a survey located here. Fill it out at your leisure, and pass it on to other local alums.
By the way, speaking of surveys, it seems that we are reaching a unanimous agreement that the first get together should be at a centrally-located bar. Options for that bar to be posted soon in the form of another poll.

Call for Information
As you may know, Matt Ellis and I are working on getting a comprehensive list together of KE alumni living in the St. Louis area. Besides the people on the member list (on the right) as of the date of this post, the people below are believed to currently live in the region:
Breed, Tyler
Enright, Eric
Gilyon, Chris
Meyer, Jon
Nelson, James
Schoelch, Craig
Towers, Jason
Washburn, Brandon
Gilyon, Chris
Meyer, Jon
Nelson, James
Schoelch, Craig
Towers, Jason
Washburn, Brandon
What we need from you:
(1) Names not on this list who should be
(2) Email addresses of people on this list
(3) Pass this web site on to them or other area KE alums
Send that information to stlpikes@gmail.com
Active Chapter members who call St. Louis home three months of the year are of course invited to join. Matt plans to get that list from the Chapter Secretary, as well as inform the Chapter of the existence of this blog site, so that they might occassionally send Chapter updates for our review.
.
Additionally, anyone who does not live in St. Louis, but still wants to feel included, may be listed as an out-of-town member and get emails as well.
.
This site is quickly showing promise, and I have enjoyed getting updates and photos to post. Keep sending them along! Email any suggestions, news, photos, etc. to stlpikes@gmail.com

Justin Coomes ('01) Update
Hey guys,
I recently married the girl we all know I didn't deserve and we're doing wonderful.
I'm currently taking a year off of school and doing clinical research on carpal tunnel syndrome at Washington University. At the same time, Christa's going through her third year of medical school at Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, MO. In order to live together during our first year of marriage, we moved to Sullivan, MO, about an hour out of St. Louis and 40-45 minutes from Rolla. Its a long drive, but its definitely worth it for the both of us. After she finishes her third year, we'll move back to Saint Louis, complete our final years of medical school, then match out to residency where ever God takes us.
Children probably aren't in our near future as the only other being we seem to have the time or money to take care of right now is our cat, Tamba.
You guys can reach me at or e-mail me at pikemedjdc@yahoo.com, or my phone, which is 314-479-0498.

I can be reached on my cell at 636-236-3875.

Welcome!
This is the website for the St. Louis Division of the Kappa Epsilon Alumni Association of the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity, or Stlpikes for short.
Stlpikes is not recognized by the Pike Headquarters, or by the Chapter at Rockhurst University, or even by the official Kappa Epsilon Alumni Association. This is a wholly informal group of people from the St. Louis area who choose to continue locally associating with their chapter brethren after graduation.
Stlpikes arose out of the concern by several St. Louis area alumni who found it difficult to make it back to Rockhurst as often as they liked, for a variety of reasons. Those same alumni, many of whom have demanding jobs and/or growing families, still wanted to enjoy the benefits of Pike camaraderie throughout the year. As the ranks of the alumni base grows each year, those new initiates into the real world may not know the existing network base awaiting them in St. Louis. All of these issues, among others, resulted in Stlpikes.
The structure is simple: No officers. No dues. No meetings.
The only aim of the group is to provide a streamlined means for organizing occasional social events, and notifying members of those events. Ideally, events will be quarterly, and will be informal and inexpensive. At least one event annually should include active members of the Chapter who are on a break from their rigorous Rockhurst curriculum.
This blog website will serve as a destination for news about those events, as well as updates about things happening with people in the St. Louis area. If someone has a child, gets a new job, moves here, leaves town, gets married, finds a life partner, sets a new score on an arcade video game, changes contact information, wins the lottery, buys a dog, gets acquitted of criminal charges, or has any other good news to share, then this is the place to share that news. You can have as much contact info posted as you want, and as little contact info posted as you want. You can send photos to post, from Stlpikes events or any other event.
The active Chapter may also take advantage of this audience to let us know about events in the Kansas City or St. Louis area, or just pass on any news that they would like to share.
All information you want posted should be sent to Stlpikes@gmail.com. This email address will also be the one that sends out reminders about the events, and will be the primary method of communication. Any suggestions for the group, and any suggestions for events, should be sent to that email address.
Hopefully this turns into a fruitful endeavor. I look forward to its success.
In the bonds,
Phi Phi Kappa Alpha
