'Strong Enough to Care Slogan is focal point of Strategic Plan Pi Kappa Phi is a Fraternity that is "Strong Enough To Care." It is a Fraternity that cares enough about others to have developed a unique service project, People Understanding the Severely Handicapped. Pi Kappa Phi cares enough about social issues to take a proactive stand on alcohol abuse, date rape, AIDS and hazing. And it is strong enough to have become the fastest growing fraternity since 1964; strong enough to have raised over $1 million

for PUSH; strong enough to have received national attention for its educational programs and posters. "Strong Enough To Care" is the Fraternity's new motto,a"positioning statement" developed by the Strategic Planning Committee to help focus the mission of the Fraternity and create a recognizable niche for Pi Kappa Phi in the fraternity world. Most importantly,it represents what the Fraternity seeks to develop in its members understanding and sensitivity to others. The motto was adopted, along with the Strategic Plan,at the 42nd Supreme Chapter.

Some riders struggled over the mountains. Others spoke to livestock as they passed hundreds of miles of green farmlands. The busy sounds of south Chicago filled their ears while their tires passed cautiously around broken glass. And finally, the sound of cheers welcomed them to the front steps of the nation. PUSH America proved that a dream can be relived as it completed a second successful "journey of hope" this summer. The 18-man, 1-woman team started from the golden span of San Francisco on June 11, and over the following 56 days, the experience of a lifetime was made. Their triumphant ride through Washington, D.C., on Aug.5,coincided with the first day ofthe Fraternity's Supreme Chapter. Nearly 100 Pi Kapps attending the convention and family members of the team greeted them on the steps of the Capitol, signifying the end of their journey. The team had helped raise over $70,000 for People Understanding the Severely Handicapped. Crossing 12 states and more than 3,200 miles, the members of Pi Kappa Phi learned more about themselves and their service project as they carried the message of the severely handicapped to big cities and small communities. In each place they visited, they got a feel for the vast expanse of the nation's personality while bringing awareness of the needs of the handicapped to hundreds of people.
