Our Philanthropy - Tulsa Public School Eyeglass Fund & Scholarships
TAAP is pleased to provide help to children in the Tulsa area who are less fortunate. For several years, the TAAP Eyeglass Fund has provided financial assistance to children who are in need of an eye exam and/or corrective lenses. TAAP is in contact with school nurses from various Tulsa Public schools who identify children who could benefit from the fund.
The TAAP Eyeglass Fund receives donations from individuals and from sorority alumnae groups. Our annual poinsettia sale also provides a portion of its proceed to benefit the fund. From these contributions TAAP was able to donate $3,350 to Tulsa Public Schools Eyeglass Fund in 2013.
Collegiate, and Alumnae scholarships are also our philanthropy. Each year, TAAP members sell poinsettias to help raise funds for these scholarships funds.
The Responsibilities of Membership
Sorority membership means commitment. When you join, you will make a promise to uphold your sorority's standards and to support your sisters. Two other obligations of members are time and money.
In addition to the time commitment to your studies, you will be expected to attend chapter meetings and other sorority events. Your attendance is required at some of these meetings and events.
You also have a financial obligation to pay your sorority expenses. All sororities have fees and those amounts vary from chapter to chapter. Examples of expenditures are one-time fees for new members, badges, and national enrollment. Other variable fees include dues, housing, and depending upon the campus-meals. The details regarding your financial commitment will be listed prior to your final decision to become a member.
Sororities strive to make membership as affordable as possible. Many sorority women hold jobs, receive financial aid or earn scholarships. There are also programs and scholarships for those who need assistance with membership.
