Community Service  All second year members must think of and write up a service project detailing what the project is, what supplies are needed, how many people could participate (minimum and maximum), timing, and prior approval from any 3 rd parties involved  Officers will review each project to ensure it is something that is feasible. Once they projects are approve, members will take the lead for their own project and will be in charge of executing and overseeing said project. We will work with them to obtain and provide any needed resources.  The projects will be open to any students that want to participate, our goal is one or two projects a month for the rest of the year.

Tutoring  Last year we created a new requiement that all members must have a certain minimum of hours that they are required to tutor underclassmen  20 hours for second year members, 10 hours for 3 rd and 4 th year members  With the success of this program, we decided to expand it to create an online tutoring platform where students interact in a chat-room type format and can have questions answered on the spot, or the person tutoring can have questions submitted beforehand  This allows students that are not close to complete their tutoring requirements and encourages those underclassmen who may be reluctant to meet in person to obtain tutoring online ΣΣΦ - Rho Chapter
