Richard Pierce — Pi Kappa Phi, College of Charleston

Under Richard Pierce’s advisement, the chapter has thrived, becoming the top fraternity on campus in terms of size, GPA, philanthropy and involvement. His greatest achievement is in the lives he has touched and the men he has helped become leaders, committed to making a difference in their communities. He actively seeks to connect brothers to a network of alumni, ensuring that they have the support and guidance needed to succeed post-graduation. Richard’s collaborative leadership extends beyond the individual level, as seen in his approach to systemic issues. During a time when hazing was becoming a concern across campus, Richard took it upon himself to initiate a larger conversation with the institution to address the issue at a systemic level. Beyond his direct work with the CofC chapter, he also volunteers on a broader scale training as a key contributor to the Chapter Advisor Training program.
