The Founders of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
During the turbulent years of the mid-19th century, six young men came together to form a Fraternity.
James Benjamin Sclater Jr.
(1847-82)
Sclater was raised in Richmond, Virginia. In
March 1864, he entered Virginia Military In-
stitute, and as a cadet, saw military service in
the defense of Richmond. At the University
of Virginia, he studied medicine and roomed
two doors from Taylor in 43 West Range with
Robertson Howard, another Founder.
