Directly - if they have a scholarship, leadership fund, or educational housing fund established (not all chapters have a chapter-specific fund established yet)

Indirectly - through many areas of focus that support ALL chapters, such as programs to prevent sexual assault and hazing, programs to support mental wellness, and emergency grants for undergraduate or alumnae members in financial distress; also, gifts to the Annual Fund (our area of greatest need) benefit ALL members by allowing us to allocate resources where they are most needed
