Philanthropies

Gamma Phi Beta’s philanthropic focus is Building Strong Girls, which is the embodiment of its philanthropic mission, to provide experiences and resources that build spiritual, mental and social resiliency in girls. Gamma Phi Beta is the exclusive National Panhellenic Conference National Sponsor of Girls on the Run (GOTR), a nonprofit organization that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Together, Gamma Phi Beta and GOTR envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Gamma Phi Betas in every community provide girls the support they need to bolster their ability to believe in themselves and understand their value and potential. Moonball, Gamma Phi Beta’s signature philanthropy event, is hosted annually by each collegiate chapter in North America as a volleyball, basketball or kickball tournament to raise funds for GOTR. The Gamma Phi Beta Foundation is dedicated to the lifelong development of women by providing financial aid to members and the sorority’s leadership development programs.
