Philanthropy: In the spring of
2006, a Pi Beta Phi member created the Zavala After School Program,
better known as ZAP, at Zavala Elementary. This program provides
elementary school students with after school classes in a variety of
areas including the arts, sports, and even cooking. Members of Pi Beta Phi participate in both ZAP and the HOSTS Program, which involves the weekly tutoring of a Zavala Elementary student. In Fall 2006 Pi Beta Phi sponsored its first annual "Bowling for Literacy" event, donating the proceeds to National Pi Beta Phi literacy programs as well as ZAP.
