Other Programs in Collaboration with Iota Phi Chapter

 

 

The Iota Phi Foundation collaborates with Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Iota Phi Chapter in many of its community initiatives. Additionally, we explore opportunities to collaborate with other noteworthy organizations to better serve and meet the needs of Pittsburgh's multicultural community.  

 

Financial Literacy - The Pittsburgh alumnae chapters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. teamed up in 2017 to provide free financial workshops for the community at large. To date we've created, organized, lead, and facilitated eight workshops throughout 2017 and 2018. Some of the topics within these workshops have included: Goal  Planning, Budgeting and Savings, Investing, Retirement and Insurance, Home Ownership (Mortgage), Wellness Fair, Finance and Financial Aid for High School Seniors and Parents/Caretakers, Finance 101 for youths, Debt Management, Credit Repair/Recovery and Careers in Finance. 

 

So Fresh, Clean and Crispy Tour - provided free haircuts to over 100 students from grades Kindergarten to 12th grade from all over the county. Included free academic and legal advice for survival, books, backpacks, school supplies, tooth brushes, toothpaste, food and instructions regarding how to participate in the HBCU Tour and Scholarships. The event covered the mandatory Assault On Illiteracy and Fatherhood Initiative social action programs for the fraternity. 

 

Community Day Each year members of the various African American fraternities and sororities come together to provide recreation and health promotion activities to residents of the East Liberty and Homewood communities.  This event has been traditionally held at the Iota Phi Foundation and Omega Psi Phi Community Center.  

 

In addition to individual contributions from members of the Foundation, revenue raised by the sponsorships and contributions from the Foundation has been the source of funding support for all activities.
