Every year, the Michigan Epsilon chapter follows the Pi Beta Phi tradition of staying dedicated members of the community; both locally and nationally. We accomplish this through the many hours of community service each member donates to organizations in the Kalamazoo area. Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Special Olympics, and Croyden School are just a few examples of organizations that Pi Phi's have frequently volunteered with. At least twice a year the whole chapter bands together to spend a full day volunteering in a community- wide event, such as our most recent endeavor, the ACS Relay for Life in which the campus community raised over $28,000 for cancer research!
Our chapter also hosts a yearly 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament called "Hoops for Halos" which is our annual fundraising event to raise monetary donations for Pi Beta Phi's national philanthropies. The first, a Pi Beta Phi national service project called LINKS TO LITERACY which assists schools or local organizations in providing book distribution and one-on-one reading tutoring for students in need. The second, ARROW IN THE ARCTIC provides support for branches of libraries in the Yukon and Northwest Territorries of Canada. |
