PHILANTHROPY
GPHI’s are committed to serving our community. Learn more about our philanthropic efforts!
GPHI’s are women building strong girls. One way our members build strong girls is by partnering with Girls on the Run.
Building Strong Girls is the philanthropic focus of Gamma Phi Beta. This means that we can show support for our philanthropy in many ways, which you can learn about below. One of the most direct ways that we build strong girls is by partnering with Girls on the Run, an organization meant to build confidence and resiliency in elementary and middle school aged girls.
Gamma Phi Beta is passionate about our philanthropic focus because we know today's girls face more challenges than ever, making the need for a safe place with supportive mentors even greater. Girls need women in their lives who can help them develop the skills to succeed in life.
Gamma Phi Betas are those women.
BUILDING STRONG GIRLS
By building strong girls, Gamma Phi Betas are committed to making a difference in their communities. Sisters can do this in many ways, but some of the closest ways that they do this are by mentoring others and providing support to women around them. Gamma Phi Betas are women building strong girls.
GIRLS ON THE RUN - NATIONALLY
Girls on the Run is a national program that runs hundred of locations around the United States. This after-school program from 3rd-5th and 6th-8th graders meets twice a week in small teams while trained volunteer coaches inspire girls to build confidence and other important life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and physical activty that focus on understanding others, valuing relationships and teamwork, and recognizing how we can shape the global community.
GIRLS ON THE RUN - ATLANTA
In order to build strong girls as a chapter, Gamma Phi Beta partners with Girls on the Run of Atlanta to provide support through continued volunteering, donating money, and more. Every semester, sisters volunteer in downtown Atlanta at the Girls on the Run 5K to celebrate the accomplishments of young girls completing the race. From running buddies to cheerleaders, sisters encourage participants to complete their goal.
