University and Community
Our chapter strives to become a positive part in the University and Charlottesville community. As a group of women with a common purpose and direction we hope to return our strength and enthusiasm to the community. This will be accomplished by giving back to both the University and Charlottesville community, through activities such as community service, outreach projects, and fundraising for charities. After establishing ourselves, for years to come we will continue to be a strong organization and form a solid relationship with the community.
