Nationwide, every fraternity partners with a specific philanthropy that each chapter supports. All fundraising events, regardless of the campus chapter, will benefit the national philanthropy.
Pi Kappa Phi’s national philanthropy is The Ability Experience, which focuses on helping those who struggle with disabilities. Last semester, USA’s Pi Kappa Phi raised $7,300 for the Ability Experience.
Pi Kapp has volunteered at the Mulherin Home many times over the last several years.
The Mulherin Home residents may struggle with any variety of disabilities such as walking, eating, speaking, interpersonal communication or other significant physical handicaps.
“It’s a really good way to ease our new members into philanthropy service and give back to the community,” Chase Pope, philanthropy chairman of Pi Kappa Phi, said. “We really try to make the residents feel at home when we come here.”
