  Community Service

Since community service is one of our pillars, sisters dedicate a lot of time serving the community. Getting involved in the community is one of our ways to promote ourselves as well as being active in a good cause. We believe that taking time out of schedules to help those in need creates a great unity within the community. Not only do we do community service as a whole, a lot of our sisters also volunteer daily by themselves either at hospitals, children centers or even animal shelters. Even though we are still a new colony, we are trying to help the community as much as possible, there are many opportunities out there, and we try to make the best of it.
Some events we've participated in include
+ Cox Movies Under the Moon
+ helping INOVA Fairfax Hospital for Children to raise money
+ The Annual Fairfax Fair
+ Relay For Life
+ Breast Cancer Walk
+ Chinese New Year Parades in D.C.
+ Children's International Festival in Wolf Trap
+ Light the Night for Leukemia
+ GMU Veteran's Walk (5k)
+ many more.

 

 

  Cultural Diversity

Our sorority falls under the Multicultural Greek Council. Even though we are an Asian interest sorority, we are not asian exclusive. Furthermore, we promote cultural diversity among our group. We have Asian, Spanish, European, Caucasian, and sisters with other backgrounds within our sorority nationwide. All women who have interest in promoting and actively speaking for Pan-Asian culture are encouraged to persue our sisterhood. At the national level, we have had cultural events to include, traditional dance performances, step, cultural workshops, martial arts, potluck, etc. As mentioned before, our sorority emphasis is based on informing students about different Pan-Asian cultures worldwide.
  Philanthropy

Even though George Mason University is still a small colony, we have donated to many organizations in the community over the years. We have even put together an annual cultural show, called Spark Hope that is held in the spring semesters at the Harris Theater at George Mason University. Our philanthropy chair for the semester would pick an organization early on, that we would spend the whole semester fundraising and collecting donations to give to that organization. The cultural show consists of many performances from different organizations on campus including ourselves. Everything that we fundraise goes to that organization.
Our National philanthropy that we also help donate to, which empowers Asian American women by helping them overcome issues from domestic violence, hate crimes, economic injustice, to immigration rights, is called The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF).
