2015 Sep 2

Joe James, a member of the class of 2016, participated in The Ability Experience Journey of Hope during the summer of 2015, as a way to raise awareness and funds for people with disabilities. James is majoring in English and philosophy with a minor in Religion.

The Ability Experience (formerly known as Push America) is a philanthropy owned and operated by Pi Kappa Phi, the only fraternity that owns and operates its philanthropy. The Journey of Hope includes three teams with three different routes across the country, and every participant is a brother of Pi Kappa Phi. James and his teammates traveled the southern route, and the other two teams traveled the northern and trans-American routes. All will finish at the lawn of the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Near the end of their journey, James and the crew stopped in Spartanburg and visited with students at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind and Carolina Miracle League participants. They also enjoyed a brief respite at Wofford.
