Pi Kappa Phi fraternity will have a new home by the end of this summer.
Davis Dodson, previous Interfraternity Council president, said Pi Kappa Phi has already begun its renovations on what was previously the Alpha Gamma Rho house.  Once it is completed, the house will be one the Pi Kapps can call their own.
“The chapters have already done a lot of work cleaning out everything in there,” Dodson said.  “The basic plan is to use the structure of the house that is already there, but when it’s finished, you won’t recognize the house at all.”
The renovations are expected to be complete by the first week of July.
Jay Stuckel, board member for the national organizations of Pi Kappa Phi, said they did not yet have a number for the cost of the renovations.
“We can say that it will be a substantial amount of money for a very nice livable condition for our chapter,” Stuckel said.
This is the first time Pi Kappa Phi has ever been at Mississippi State University. 
According to Cody McClanahan, president of Pi Kappa Phi, there are currently 43 members, but they expect more during fall rush after the renovations.
“I think having a house will greatly increase the amount of people that will show interest toward Pi Kappa Phi,” McClanahan said.
Rhett Hobart, Student Association president, said he agreed the fraternity growth will be beneficial for everyone on campus.
“I think it shows great expansion in our university as a way for students to continue to get involved,” Hobart said.
