Thumbs up What A Greek Does!!!!

I have had the pleasure of a young man coming into my store several times and we talked Greek!

Jared goes to U. Kansas. He was a member of the Colonization of Pi Kappa Phi!

He was in today and said they got their Charter and he asked for a donation for their International Charity!

After discussing it with him, I donated to the cause!

Members of the Fraternity are riding Bicycles from Sam Francisco to Wash. D. C.! 65 of them! They are planning 1 month to do it!
If you see any of them riding give a little! If you have a place that they can be put up, do it!

This is the good that We as Greeks do for others. It is a charity for the physically impared which is great! I know at one time I worked with the Special Olympics and know what good it does!

My Hat is off to the Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi and the good work that they are doing!

Hell, I could not drive that far across the country!

It is called The Ride For Hope!

This is what We as Greeks All Do, and get little if any recognition for it!

He also told me they are in the process of getting a house. Unfortunetally, it is a House from another Fraternity that is in trouble membership wise! Gawd how I hate to hear that!!

It’s always nice to hear about Pi Kapps representing themselves in a positive manner. The Beat Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at University of Houston will be represented by David Dalton in the Journey of Hope from San Francisco to Washington D.C. To read more about our national philanthropy please visit the Push America Website.

You can donate online at Push America Donations or if you would like to directly donate to a chapter and help with their donation goals you can find the closest chapter to you by accessing Pi Kappa Phi Student Chapters.

Hey! I know all about Pikapps and their Push America Philantrophy....it is SUCH a great cause...
recently this semester one of the PiKapps on my campus was raising money and training to be in this trek that ends up in DC like you had mentioned...
He came to all the meetings with his bike and told us how he was training for this cause....
he did a contest on our campus... for the organization that raised the most money for PUSH he would put their letters on his bike for the ride, and then take a picture at the captial and send it back to the winning chapter....
My organization raised the most money and will be featured on his bike....
I think it is a GREATTTTT cause and even better when all the greek organizations can get involved in helping out such a great cause...it really shows you that being greek is not just about fun and partys...it really is about unity and coming together to help others the way many of our organizations founders had intended....
and Philantrophy work is just a way for greeks to make a positive impact on our world

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE PIKAPPS PARTICIPATING IN PUSH!

I take it you're riding? That's awesome. I love to ride my bike, I'd love to go cross country, and doing it for charity would make it even better. Have a good time and be glad that you'll miss the cicadas in DC.
