Service Areas Six areas of service: 1. Permanent Project: The permanent project is Mental Health. Each semester we do a service project that tries to improve the mental health of ourselves and/or others. In Fall 2008 we participated in Memory Walk for Alzheimer's Disease. In Spring 2009 we are participating in Body Pride Week at ASU. 2. President's Project: Each year the Nation President of Omega Phi Alpha picks a project that they feel is very important. This year’s President’s Project is women's cancer awareness. For our Fall 2008 project, we listened to a speaker talk about cervical cancer prevention and awareness. In Spring 2009 we are participating in Relay for Life. 3. Service to the University Community: This project is where we focus on providing service giving back to the Arizona State University Community. In Fall 2008 we participated in ASU's Lantern Walk.

In Fall 2008 we celebrated our Founder's Week by having a dinner for our alumni. In Spring 2009 we are participating in our own self created project called Sorority Fit Club where sisters work out together, play sports, and eat healthy together all semester long. 6. Service to the nations of the world: This project focuses on providing service to the international community. In Fall 2009 we participated in Trick or Treat for UNICEF.
