You may have seen an increase this week in charity-related activities in the Quad. One fraternity is staying there day and night to get their cause noticed. In front of the Evans Liberal Arts building, members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity are raising funds and spreading awareness about kids with disabilities. The fraternity's Push America initiative is a collection of nationally recognized programs that promote understanding and construct camps and playgrounds for children with disabilities. The participating members came out here to the Quad on Monday at 7 AM and will stay until tomorrow at 5, taking shifts in order to attend class and using sleeping bags over night so there will always be someone here. With individual donations and help from local businesses, the initiative's total is expected to be around five thousand dollars.
