• At the 2002 Convention, the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority delegates voted to establish a collaborative relationship with Camp Fire USA as a major new element of our camping philanthropy. Camp Fire USA is one of the nation's leading not-for-profit youth development organizations, serving over 650,000 participants annually. Founded in 1910 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, Camp Fire provides all-inclusive, coeducational programs in hundreds of communities across the United States. As part of Gamma Phi Beta’s commitment to this relationship, the Gamma Phi Beta Foundation will provide grants to Camp Fire USA for young girls who otherwise would not be able to attend camp.
   
• By design, Camp Fire's programs, including small group experiences, after-school programs, camping and environmental education, child care and service learning, build confidence in younger children and provide hands-on, youth-driven leadership experiences for older youth. All Gamma Phi Beta donations to Camp Fire USA support our traditional philanthropy of camping for girls.

• Gammie Golf, Xi Chapter’s biggest fundraiser for Camp Fire USA, is held every fall semester. The tournament invites members of the Greek community and University of Idaho community to participate in nine-holes of golf. Gamma Phi Betas serve as caddies for the teams, and all money raised go towards a local Camp Fire USA camp.
   
• Other Xi Chapter fundraisers include a Mom’s Weekend Pancake Feed and a spring Spaghetti Feed. Funds from both events go towards local charities.
   
• Xi Chapter has also adopted a stretch of highway and holds a highway clean up twice a year.
   
• Gamma Phis participate in many other community service opportunities around campus, including Relay For Life, the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Humane Society, and Moscow Mentors.
