Journey of Hope

71 days. 4200 miles. 26 strangers who became my best friends. $523,921raised. 13 states. One life changing event.

When I signed up to crew Journey of Hope 2013, I really didnt know what I was getting myself into. I imagined sitting in a van, lling water jugs, and marking turns. While I did do these things, there was so much

more to what my summer encompassed.I was able to travel America, from Seattle, WA to Washington, D.C. From major cities,

to the untamed beauty of Yellowstone, I was able to experience the best America has tooffer. I was able to meet individuals and hear their stories, see life through their eyes. Ilearned more about myself on the road than I had in the 20 years leading up to Journey ofHope.

Most importantly, as clich as it sounds, I was able to witness Hope with my own eyes.From the residents of the Ashley House in Enumclaw, WA as we handed them a check that

would allow them to operate for another year, to the young man in Denver, CO who tolda cyclist at a friendship visit that he was glad he could feel normal for once and not laughedat; Hope was everywhere.

Push America sets us apart from other fraternities, not only on this campus but in the

inter-fraternal world as well. Journey of Hope, the agship event of Push America, allowsus to challenge and reshape stereotypes about fraternity life. It develops a sense of serviceleadership that is integral to being a fraternity man. It allows us to serve people withdisabilities, while learning more about ourselves and what it means to be human. Simplyput, the Journey of Hope is an outward expression of the letters we so proudly wear on ourchest. Pi Kappa Phi.

It is my hope that more members of the Delta Delta chapter will become involved inthis event. Furthermore, I hope that you, as alumni, see the value in Journey of Hope. Thepersonal growth and development achieved is priceless, and the memories and experiencesforged will stay for life. It is through your nancial support that I and other members ofthis chapter have, and will be able to, experienced the summer that shapes a lifetime.
