The Alpha Pi Chapter hosted the first Hike for HOPE in October 17, 1971 to raise money for Project HOPE, an international philantropy supported by Phi Mu Fraternity. The chapter raised $12,500 for its efforts. This successful project became the prototype for many others across the country.
Over the years, the Chapter has hosted many events raising money for both Project Hope and CMN Champions, including Rockathon and the All Greek Feud. The Chapter continues to raise money for CMN Champions which benefit the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
