NATIONAL SERVICE WEEK
Chapters
of Omega Phi Alpha join together each year and direct efforts toward two
specific National projects: the Permanent Project and the President's Project. These projects are done once a semester and focuses on the four areas of service: Service to the University Community, Service to the Community - at - Large, Service to the members of the sorority, and service to the nations of the world. This is a week long process performed by different events to come to common goal at the end.
 |
| Kick Off Rally is the first event of the week. This is when all the sisters come together and start creating awareness on campus about the topic that was selected for the semester. For this image, the topic was Domestic Violence. |
 |
| After the Kick off Rally, Omega Phi Alpha usually hosts a profit share at a local restaurant and some sort of game night. Both are done to raise money for our cause and create awareness for people around us. In this image, we created a game of "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" and we invited other greek organizations to have a fun competition. |
 |
| This image shows our project called STEM which stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. Here we went to a boys and girls club and educated the kids on these areas of studies. this was done after the Kick off Rally, Profit share and the game night. |
 |
| At the end of the service week, we could see the difference we made. As a team we came together and carried on a project by not only educating students on campus but also changing lives of others. This project shows the stem project, and not only educated the kids on the four areas of studies but we also donated all the money we raised throughout the week to this school. |
