Giving Back To Others
A PAAP Focus
While each our NPC member organizations has its own inter/national philanthropy, the Philadelphia Area Alumnae Panhellenic focuses on philanthropy as well. Additionally, PAAP members unite in supporting the philanthropic efforts of each member organization. Participating in civic and philanthropic activities provides community service while presenting a favorable sorority image. There is no better way to garner public approval than through philanthropic projects and scholarship programs. With public approval, two of the purposes of Alumnae Panhellenics — to promote the sorority experience and to heighten the Panhellenic image — become realities.

Walk to End Domestic Violence
Members of PAAP participated in the Walk to End Domestic Violence in Philadelphia. Proceeds from the event help fund Philadelphia Domestic Abuse Resources.
Knitted Knockers
PAAP members donated funds to Abington Health Foundation's Knitted Knockers program. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable and beautiful prosthetics that when placed in a regular bra take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are knitted with love by volunteers, and offered at no charge to a woman who wishes to have them.
