Theta Phi Day of Service
Registration for Members participating in a Day of Service event will open on September 15th
Purpose
The purpose of the Theta Phi Alpha Day of Service is to teach our membership about Theta Phi Alpha’s philanthropy, the model for service learning, and how we can practice being good leaders in our everyday lives in the spirit of justice. “Our mission is to create close comradeship, to advance educational, social and philanthropic interests and leadership training; to encourage spiritual development and adherence to the highest moral standards; and to promote lifelong bonds of friendship.”
Program Goals
Provide opportunities for sisters to serve their local communities, and enhance a deeper sense of belonging and pride in Theta Phi Alpha while supporting local entities that work towards ending Hunger and Homelessness.
