Four standing programs run in every chapter, every year — the living curriculum of the six pillars.
Our flagship service program since 1972. Each chapter partners with local schools, food banks, and shelters; every sister serves twenty hours a semester. Chapters report their hours each spring for the Arbor Service Cup.
A week at Mulberry Hill for rising officers: governance labs, difficult-conversation workshops, and a capstone service project. Alumnae practitioners teach every session.
