The red rose is the official flower of Pi Kappa Phi, and is given to people who gain a special place in the heart of the members of Pi Kappa Phi.
The Chapter elects a Rose each year in which one special lady will be chosen by the Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi “Gamma Gamma”. This award is given with special care and respect to a woman who has contributed greatly in several ways to the betterment of the “Gamma Gamma” Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. The Rose shall receive a dozen roses and the “Rose of Pi Kappa Phi” will be sung to her by the brotherhood at a specified time and place.
Each one of these ladies have been instrumental in making Pi Kappa Phi “Gamma Gamma” into the oldest and greatest fraternity at Troy University. We are forever thankful and honored that each lady accepted our invitation to become our Rose!
