Overview

Mission

Epsilon Phi is a local chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Our primary focus is to carry out the mandated programs defined by our International Headquarters. They are achievement week, scholarship, social action programs, talent hunt programs, reclamation and retention, college endowment fund, health initiatives, voter registration, education, and mobilization, and NAACP.

What it reported doing in 2012

The Purple Networking Party (PNP) is an annual fundraiser for the Chapter. The party provides funds for our community service projects that helps hundreds in the City of Memphis. In addition, some of the funds are used to offset various administrative expenses of the organization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
