Part of the fun and importance of BAΨ is that we give back to the communities surrounding our universities. We are always looking for new ways to offer our students’ professional services, physical labor, and/or free time to deserving opportunities. Please join the rest of us at one of our events or suggest a new one. Even if you do not join us on a BAΨ event, you can report your individual service hours as “Non-BAΨ Hours.” So bottom line… get involved!
