In 2004, what was then known as the APIA Greek Alliance had twelve organizations consisting of 76 universities and 171 chapters that registered over 8,000 Asian Americans across the country to vote. That success was the impetus for future programming and collaboration. |

After the devestation caused by the December 2004 Asian Tsunami, hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless and over 120,000 people were left dead. NAPA organizations took it upon themselves to organize their chapters to raise funds to support the relief effort. Sigma Psi Zeta raised over $1,600 through just one National Event. |

Hurricane Katrina's destruction of the Gulf Coast will go down in history as one of the worse natural disasters of our time. After the devastation, NAPA members felt empowered to help out with the relief effort. For example, one chapter of Delta Phi Lambda raised over $2,000 in one night to help aid those in need. |

In February of 2006, the 29th annual East Coast Asian American Student Union (ECAASU) Conference was held at The George Washington University. ECAASU has traditionally been the largest Asian American student conference in the country, and many members who attend the conference are members of NAPA organizations. NAPA collaborated to donate enough money to earn a Silver Sponsorship. At the conference, NAPA passed out educational brochures on NAPA and its member organizations to many interested individuals. |

One of the signature events for NAPA has been the Regional Unity Mixers. These events are designed to bring together Asian American Greeks within their specific region for workshops, social events, and competitions. Thie first Unity Mixer was the Southeast Unity Mixer in the spring of 2006. In 2007, the Southeast had its second annual Unity Mixer. In fall of 2007, the Midwest is planning it's first ever Unity Mixer. Stay tuned for more updates! |

Although 2006 is not a Presidential Election year, it does not mean that elections are not happening in states across the country. National statistics compiled by the US Census Bureau show that APIA's are the least likely of any race in the United States to vote. In order to combat this problem, NAPA partnered with APIA Vote again to try and get Asian Americans to get out and vote. While numbers are still being compiled returns show that Asian Americans had a major impact in many states across the country.
