Chapter Philanthropy: As a chapter, Beta Beta always supports and raises money for Reading is Fundamental every year. During the spring, we have a traditional event called “Kappasta.” At this event we charge $5 for an all you can eat pasta buffet. All the proceeded of this event go towards Reading is Fundamental. This past semester, the Beta Beta chapter collected children books from home and donated them to the Church School in downtown Canton. We have become more involved with the Church School and participate in a number of their programs, which is important to us considering they do not receive as much funding as the public schools in the area. As far as on-campus philanthropy goes, we spearheaded the Giving Tree Book Drive. This organization sponsors a child in needs Christmas present. We really enjoy helping out our community and participating in philanthropic events. These events not only bring our chapter closer together, but also allow us to become a support system for our community.
