He is involved in the club on campus called King's Keepers, which promotes creation care on campus.

Ray Low is almost always introduced by name along with "He likes orange," as if it wasn't already visibly evident from everything he owns. Instead, Ray prefers to be introduced as a vegetarian who cares for animals and tries to bring God's creation into the picture as he observes the barren streets of New York City, where he attends school. Born in New Orleans, moved to Illinois, and finally settled in the Big Apple, Ray's family loves to travel, and consequently he has seen much of Asia. He enjoys playing guitar and singing, and has written much of his own music.
