Rotaract Act/Social Work Club
The purpose of the Rotaract/ Social Work Club is to encourage and promote service not only throughout the college, and surrounding community, but throughout the world. Students will be working on two community service projects during the year; one to improve the local community, and one international project with other university students in another part of the world. Social Work majors are encouraged to participate in the club activities however, membership is open to all students of the College.

Phi Alpha Honor Society
The Social Work Department of Alvernia College was granted a chapter charter in the Phi Alpha National Honor Society under the name of Zeta Upsilon. The purpose of this organization is to provide a closer bond among students of social work, and to enter into a more intimate fellowship with those dedicated to the promotion of humanitarian goals and ideals by a professional group for which quality educational preparation is deemed imperative. Students and faculty involved in social work at Alvernia College resolve to sponsor a Chapter of Phi Alpha National Honor Society, thereby to foster high standards of educations for social work and to invite into membership those who have attained academic excellence of a 3.0 (4.0 scale) overall grade point average.
