Alpha Pi Sigma Sorority, Inc. Omicron Chapter
Chapter Goals The overall vision and purpose of our chapter is for all members to feel welcomed. To be able to gain confidence and be themselves at all times. To come together to form a family away from home. Within the next two years we plan to establish a scholarship fund in which we will distribute one scholarship award per academic year. Within the next five years we plan to have events to bring Autism Awareness to the Sacramento community. We plan to do this by organizing different types of events, such as an annual Autism conference. At this conference we will hold workshops for parents to give them more information about Autism and resources that are offered in our community. In ten years we see our organization helping the Sacramento community at various events. We also hope to create a mentoring program at low income schools.

Philanthropy Something unique about Alpha Pi Sigma Sorority Inc. is that each chapter is given the opportunity to choose and develop their own philanthropic project based on their communities needs. TJ orphanage Relay For Life Ronald McDonald House Isla Vista Teen Center Adelitas Conference The Malala Fund National Kidney Foundation American Heart Association Society for Disabilities Breast cancer awareness As members of the Sacramento community, we have chosen Autism as our philanthropy. We concluded that this philanthropy would best suit the Latino community in Sacramento because many individuals are not aware of the disorder. We want to bring awareness among the Latino community. Facts Autism now affects 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys Boys are nearly five times more likely than girls to have autism There is no medical detection or cure for autism autismspeaks.org -

We would also like to offer community service and volunteer work within the university and the Sacramento community. We would like to be granted the opportunity to be part of USFC because it will allow us an opportunity to make a difference within the university and the community. We would also like to be a part of this council in order to have the support from the Greek community, and to know that we are not alone in making a difference.
