HOW LONG NEW OR PERIODICAL PRICE SEND TO TO SEND RENEWAL Based on reports of successful GPB programs coast-to-coast. THEY HELP BECAUSE THEY CARE by MARY AGNES WELSH CRESCENT Collegiate Editor

Gamma Phi Betas are sharing and caring women. That this is true is evidenced by the fact that philanthropy is fast becoming as important to Greek Letter members' de velopment as scholarship and leadership. Early each school year, most chapters begin gearing up for their philanthropic programs. Some have developed a calendar of monthly activities to help the less fortunate; others have one major fund-raising event for charity. Still there remain some who don't know yet what to do. So let's take a look at some successful programs�for inspira tion�for future reference.

Camping: Number #} Camping is Gamma Phi Beta's official philanthropy. The Sorority funds and operates two summer camps for underprivileged girls. At the 1974 Centennial Convention, a goal was set to get all chapters to participate in camping either through the international program or at the local level. The response has been good. Janet Milligan Heaton, International Philanthropy Chairman reports 100% par ticipation on the part of all chapters submitting philan thropy reports in time for the Seattle conclave. (Keep in mind, however, many chapters did not fill out forms.) Psi devotes most of its philanthropic efforts to camps since one of its members, Judy Grafiam (Oklahoma) be came active in the Sechelt Camp program. Judy was named camp director at Sechlet last summer. Psi pledges make puppets and tee shirts for campers; the entire chap ter raised $200 for campers' clothes. Delta Alpfia pledges at Wisconsin State-River Falls also make puppets as well as yarn dolls while the chapter treas urer disperses a check. Sigmas at Kansas raised $125 for the Sorority's camps in 1975. Due to this success, the chapter held a second sale this year and a permanent fund has been established NANCY (GINGER ROGERS) PETTERSEN (Syracuse) and her partner Louis Oliver () were named "The Best Dance Couple" at Syracuse's to sponsor an annual campship. Dance Marathon '76, Alpha Chapter placed fifth at the event, raising $2,114.15 for muscular with Theta Chi, Ambitious Sigma Program dystrophy.
