Chi Phi & Community Service

 

Community service plays a very important role in the operations of our chapter. We pride ourselves on our community service as well as our philanthropic efforts. We have a close relation with our local philanthropy the Oneonta Boy's and Girl's Club. We often help out with various events that take place on the weekend and during the holiday season. We also help raise money for the Boy's and Girl's Club.

This semester, Chi Phi donated over $300 to the Ninash Foundation, a foundation that assists socially and economically disadvantaged children within the US and abroad. As a Fraternity, we raised money to provide educational funding and to promote literacy among children and adults throughout the world, specifically to elementary schools in India.

 

The Chi Phi Fraternity participated in SUNY Oneonta's annual Heart & Run Walk in February, to benefit the American Heart Association. We raised over $250!

 

 

 

Last semester, Chi Phi raised over $500 dollars for our philanthropy and engaged in over 600 hours of community service through various events.

This semester, Chi Phi participated in Into The Streets on May 3rd, a community service program in which we helped out with Boys & Girls Scouts, and the Farmers' Museum.

 

One of the new community service projects we are taking on is the New York State ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY Program. We are responsible for cleaning up a 2-mile stretch of beautiful Interstate 88 northbound between exits 12 & 13.
