Recent happenings

The spring semester has been a busy one for Pi Kappa Phi. In early March, we had a toll roads fund raiser in Hoffman Estates. The men raising money braved the cold weather and managed to collect over $1000 dollars to be donated to Push America. Over spring break, 3 actives devoted their week off to help people at a Push Camp. Ed Gillen, Matt Rock, and Jeff Votava all spent 4 days at a camp in Carbondale doing projects in order to make the camp more accessible. Despite the 16+ inches of rain, the experience was a great one for all 3 of them.

Over the weekend of March 29th, the members of Pi Kappa Phi spent 2 days in a cabin together. Between games of foot tag, diplomacy and ropes courses, the brothers had a fantastic time. No one was seriously injured, and no one was lost to the wilderness.

As far as what is to come, the semiannual AccesAbility project was pushed back from the 12th of April, and now will be held on the 3rd of May. Hopefully this will mean warmer weather and a more pleasant experience overall.

The final day of classes is the 6th of May, and finals run from May 8th until May 14th. We have 3 seniors graduating; Scott Kenley, Kevin Machak, and Jon Fredbeck. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

Over the summer, Bill Coons and Ed Gillen will be participating in Build America, a summer long Push event to help make camps more accessible to those with disabilities. Their fund raising goal is $3500 dollars each, and if you would like to help, you can contact me at skenley@bradley.edu and I will give you their information.
