Thursday, April 23, 2026 - Special Initiation
Initiated brothers join us at the ULM SUB, 2nd floor, by 6:45 p.m. for the special initiation of Billy McDougle. Mr. McDougle is brother Addison's dad and since 2011, every Pike has called him the man who cuts our yards! Mr. McDougle graduated from Ouachita Parish HIgh and began working for the railroad. In 1987 he started his own lawn service, Billy Goat Lawn Service. He and his wife have been married for 37 years and are the proud grandparents of 6 grandkids. Fifteen years after his son's initiation, Mr. McDougle still cuts the grass at the Pike houses, is usually found at our crawfish boil every year and will call Tommy and ask, got any of those Pike t-shirts? What Mr. McDougle doesn't know is that his son, who served as President twice, will slide back into the President's chair one more time and initiate his dad.
