	Our chapter supports Mental Health. Last year, we announced our new initiative of mental health and well being and elected Mental Health America as our national nonprofit partner. We established a strong relationship with The Women's Initiative, which provides counseling, education and support services to women right here in Charlottesville. They also offer these services regardless of an individual's ability to pay. We believe it is important to support this foundation and the positive impact it is having on women in our local community. In the fall, along with fundraising, we had an in-person volunteering day at The Women's Initiative followed by a full day of service where we sorted, personalized, stuffed, and sealed over 600 gratitude letters to send during the holiday season.

	''Philanthropy:' Our chapter supports Reading is Fundamental. As fortunate students , our chapter feels that we should give books back to the community because they are tools that allowed us to get to where we are at the University of Virginia. Our book drive and fundraisers "Breakfast for Books" and "Kappasta" are events that we are allowed to host be because of our upbringing centered on education. We are so lucky to be learning at UVA and hope that our contributions to RIF can aid the larger effort to promote education among underprivileged children.
