IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT ALREADY, PI KAPPA PHI IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL FRATERNITY. It was this pioneering spirit that led us to the creation of a one of a kind philanthropy- Push America. Push America's mission has been to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Pi Kappa Phi remains the only fraternity to create and maintain its own national philanthropy.

" Through the Journey of Hope, I gained a new understanding for people with disabilities. The courage with which they approach their daily battles is truly inspiring. This experience changed the way I look at life, and I know I have become a better person because of it."

The Journey of Hope is the single largest fraternity fund-raising event. Pi Kappa Phi's raise $350,000 per year and over 500 Pi Kapps have ridden bicycles across the United States on behalf of people with disabilities.
