PUSH the Pedal Pi Kappa Phi - Theta Mu is currently continuing its progressive tradition and planning on teaming up with a UMass sorority in introducing a new event to the University of Massachusetts this spring. "Push the Pedal" will be a campus wide cycling event, in which teams of 4 or 5 will be able to participate in a race around a track. Pi Kapp will reach out for community participation, as well as try to foster a sense of competition across the Greek community as a precursor to Greek Week. Also, during the race, there will be a variety of activities and family friendly entertainment in the infield of the track. Ultimately, the event hopes to raise money and awareness to benefit individuals with physical and mental disabilities. Also, because of the nature of this event, Pi Kapp will be tying in a new theme and promoting green transportation. Stay tuned for more information and details!
Pi Kappa Phi presents: First Annual A Capella Concert William Anderson, with the help of Push America chairman, Andrew Venooker, and Vice Archon, Rusty Brown, have organized a unique effort to raise money for Push America. On November 15th, Theta Mu will present the first annual A Capella Invitational, which will
host a variety of groups including some from UMass, Smith College, Mt. Holyoke College, Northampton High School, and SUNY Stony Brook. All proceeds go to Push America, our National Philanthropy, an organization who’s purpose is to help people with disabilities. “This is
something that is very important to us as a chapter. We hope this will be as successful as the spring race,” William Anderson says. The concert will be held at the UMass Campus Center Auditorium on November 15th from 3-5PM.
