The Berkeley group was the first long-distance chapter and helped to establish Pi Kappa Phi as a national fraternity. The next two decades saw the addition of 26 new chapters in the Midwest, South, and West Coast regions.Sheetz et al. (2004), pp. 278-286.] By 1930, Pi Kappa Phi had established a national presence, however the growth of the fraternity was halted in the 1930s and 1940s by theGreat Depression andWorld War II . The fraternity began to grow again in the 1950s and 1960s, establishing chapters across the South and strengthening its position as a "southern fraternity." The fraternity experienced unprecedented growth in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, founding over 100 new chapters and establishing a West Coast presence while further strengthening its presence in the South.Sheetz et al. (2004), pp. 294-311.]Chapters
