PHILANTHROPY

In addition to RMH visits, Psi Chapter hosts numerous events throughout the year to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. During the fall semester, we put on a volleyball tournament called ADSpike, in which fellow Cal Greeks chapters and members of our community can participate on the beach volleyball courts behind CKC! In the spring, we hold two large fundraisers, ADPi Pizza Pie and Pie and Pi. Pie a Pi is a collaborative event with greek houses Pi Beta Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Pi Kappa Alpha where anyone can buy a ticket to pie a member of these organizations in the face. Pizza Pi is a more intimate event held in our front yard with live music and donated pizza from local pizza joints including Cal favorites like Artichoke Basille’s, Seniore’s, and West Coast Pizza. Last year, almost 500 students and community members donated $5 for two slices of pizza and a drink, helping us to raise over $2,000 for RMHC! The number of pizzas donated by these organizations was generous and we were able to support our neighbors at People’s Park by donating the rest to their community kitchen.

Outside of the events held by our chapter, women in our chapter are passionate about supporting other greek houses’ philanthropies and making impacts in our community by volunteering regularly. This past year, we had 20 members volunteer with Berkeley Project—a local volunteer organization that sponsors a day of service in our community in the spring—as volunteers cleaning up a local dog park and as site leaders themselves!
