RAPA’s membership is comprised of women who are initiated, alumnae members of the 26 national NPC sororities. For over 33 years, RAPA’s primary philanthropy has been to raise funds for college scholarships.
RAPA’s mission is to:
Promote inter-fraternity friendship and support; serve as a source of information about sorority and fraternity life; demonstrate Panhellenic’s high purposes and lasting values; and provide higher educational opportunities for qualified young women of the greater Redlands, California area through scholarships and assistance.
Young Women Contemplating Sorority Membership:
If you are a young woman contemplating college and sorority membership, please visit the websites listed on this website under the “SCCAP” heading, where the link will direct you to the SCCAP website. The SCCAP website offers a wealth of information concerning sorority membership, the recruitment process, the qualifications, and personal references; it may offer answers to your questions. If, after reading the SCCAP website, you have further questions, do not hesitate to call one of the RAPA Officers; she can usually answer your questions or direct you to someone else who can. Each of us in RAPA treasures our sorority experience, and is eager to help you obtain sorority membership. Also, the NPC website given above has a lot of information to offer concerning recruitment.
