Zeta Tau Alpha
ZTA supports Breast Cancer Education and Awareness. One in eight women will be affected by breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. We focus to encompass not only the Susan G. Komen Foundation which we donate monetarily to, but also other educational means dedicated to fighting breast cancer through education, awareness, and promoting breast health.
Zeta’s national philanthropy of Breast Cancer Education and Awareness is extremely important to the chapter. Every year, the chapter hosts the Diamond Challenge Softball Tournament to raise money for the cure. The Gamma Pi chapter raised more than $50,000 in 2010 to benefit women nationwide through programs such as Race for the Cure and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The ZTA Foundation claims “Think Pink!” as a registered trademark to serve as the umbrella for all of our breast cancer education and awareness projects.

Pi Beta Phi
Pi Phi supports their Pi Beta Phi Foundation. From its inception, the Foundation’s aim has been clear — to empower this group with the funding needed to pursue its mission and purpose. Targeting education, leadership and philanthropy, the Foundation enriches lives and supports both Pi Phis and the community at large.
The Foundation funds a broad range of philanthropic efforts benefiting both the Fraternity and the community, including scholarships, emergency relief grants, leadership development programs and literacy initiatives. 20 years after it was founded, the Foundation continues to provide opportunities for Pi Phis to grow in the spirit of sisterhood and friendship.
Pi Phi’s at UGA take part in a number of philanthropy programs. Over the fraternity’s history, philanthropies have included education, literacy, and the preservation of regional arts and crafts.
