Crest of Phi Sigma Sigma
Community Service and Philanthropy
What is the community service, philanthropy, or cause that your organization most frequently supports? Our local philanthropy is Shriners Children's Hospital. We support the hospital by volunteering in programs for the children or making holiday cards. We try to visit the hospital at least twice every semester. Our national philanthropy is the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation. Our foundation benefits the National Kidney Foundation, which was adopted as Phi Sigma Sigma's national philanthropy in 1971. At the time of the NKF adoption, Kidney disease was the number one cause of death for women.
What program(s) or event(s) does your organization at Sacramento State coordinate to support the community service, philanthropy, or cause mentioned above? We set up visits to Shriners to engage in programs they have for the children (arts and crates, recreation, holiday parties). We try to do this at least twice a semester. In the Spring, we host our annual philanthropy, Rack Me Up, to support the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation, which in turns benefits the NKF. Rack Em Up is a series of parlor games, where fraternity and sororities participate in pool, bowling and darts!
