Pi Kappa Phi Members Are Doing Big Things, Biking Across Country To Raise Money For Charity
With nothing but a hope, a group of willing fraternity gentlemen, and some bikes, the members of Pi Kappa Phi from around the country began a 3,500 mile journey from San Francisco to Washington D.C. with hopes to raise money for The Ability Experience — a charity designated for helping people with disabilities.
On Thursday, they pushed their way through Chicago, where one member stopped in for an interview with “Good Day Chicago” to discuss their current journey which has already raised $600,000.
Always great to hear about these kinds of stories coming from the Greek community. You won’t hear about it covered on any site that’s agenda is to bash fraternities and sororities, but the reality is that tons of us out there are doing great things. $600K is an astonishing amount of money to raise for a philanthropy, and they aren’t done yet.
Keep up the good work, guys. Wish y’all nothing but the best on the rest of your journey and hope you can push that number close to the $1M mark..

10 years ago at 11:08 amThese are brothers from chapters all across the country, not just Purdue! But this is still a great accomplishment. Keep up the good work.
10 years ago at 11:14 amOne of the best reads this week. Gentlemen, I tip my cap to you.
10 years ago at 11:17 amNice job Pi Kapp, hope they blow that fundraising goal out of the water.
10 years ago at 11:29 amI volunteered to be one of the helpers 2 summers ago for a short duration of time as part of the middle route, the determination our fellow brothers show biking hundreds of miles day in and day out in incredible. For example, some of these guys bike 100+ miles a day, than immediately visit with children w/ special needs or participate in volunteer activities.
ODH Brothers, couldn’t be more proud of our Fraternity.

10 years ago at 11:45 amA fraternity raises a shit load of money for philanthropy and nobody outside of the greek world cares. Put pledges in the basement and yell at them and the whole freaks the fuck out. Fucking bullshit. Keep up the good work, fellas
10 years ago at 11:58 amPi Kappa Phi and their own philanthropy The Ability Experience have been doing this ride every summer for over 25 years and have averaged over $500K of fundraising every year. One of the greatest experiences of my life.
