 Due to its depiction of Confederate iconography, questions about the pew-end's visibility and existence in the Chapel, and what that represents to students, faculty, and staff, were raised in 2017.
-Several PIKE alumni wrote emails to Chaplain Allison Read regarding the pew-end in support of its removal. One stated that "These groups commissioned the statues and monuments for two main purposes: (1) to spread and to glorify the "Lost Cause" myth of the Civil War as a fight to maintain the southern way of life instead of preserving slavery; and (2) to serve as explicit symbols of white supremacy by reminding African-Americans during the Jim Crow era that they were second class citizens.” Another email said, “What the founders of the national fraternity fought for before forming PIKE is an embarrassment, not a source of pride," and a third stated "I have never felt that the national organization represented the Trinity chapter in any way and I cannot think of any ethically sound reasons why someone would choose confederate symbols to represent PIKE at Trinity."

 After lengthy discussions with current PIKE and alumni members, as well as Chaplain Read's Advisory Staff, a consensus was reached to relocate the pew-end to the College Archives in the [[watkinson_library|Watkinson Library]]. It was removed in August 2017 and in 2021, it was transferred to the Watkinson, where it is now preserved.
