The Houston Alumnae Panhellenic Foundation (HAPF) was founded in 1987 in memory of Anna K. Chase, Delta Zeta. Mrs. Chase was the first President of the Houston Alumnae Panhellenic Association (HAPA).
HAPF is supported by the Houston Alumnae Panhellenic Association and its member sororities. The non-profit Foundation is HAPA's philanthropic arm, organized for charitable and educational purposes, specifically, the provision of scholarship aid to deserving college and university students.
The Foundation raises much-needed funds for scholarships through its annual Spring Luncheon, and annual Wine Tasting Event held each Fall, and through donations from individuals and companies.
