Chapter Eternal brothers are listed by initiation date, with data current as of February 14th, 2025.
- Robert Lee Waters 1
Coach Waters, an initiate of Mu chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha at Presbyterian College, coached the Western Carolina Catamounts football team for 20 seasons (1969–1988), and performed the dual role of athletic director from 1971 through 1986. According to the university, “the evolution and success of the school’s athletic programs, especially its football program, during that period can be attributed largely to his talents and personality”. Coach Waters was honored by Western Carolina, who named their playing field Bob Waters Field at E. J. Whitmire Stadium. Waters has been inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame, the Florida Citrus Bowl Hall of Fame, and the Western Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame.
Coach Waters played an active role as an Pike alumnus with the Zeta Xi chapter where he served as the Chapter Advisor and as President of the Zeta Xi House Corporation during his time at Western Carolina University. Succumbing to Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), brother Bob entered Chapter Eternal on May 29, 1989, at the age of 50.
The Pi Kappa Alpha / Riley J. Oakley / Robert L. Waters Scholarship was established with Western Carolina University. The endowed scholarship is awarded annually to undergraduate brothers and family members of the Zeta Xi chapter.
