Info
Philadelphia is a highly strategic location for campus ministry because of its unique combination of demographics, educational density, and cultural influences. Home to over 80 colleges and universities, including large universities like UPenn, Temple University, Drexel University, and many community colleges, Philadelphia offers a dense, concentrated population of students from different cultural, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds. The hope is to establish a Chi Alpha presence throughout the city of Philadelphia.
Temple University is Philadelphia’s only public university with over 21,000 undergraduate and 8,000 graduate students. Temple’s urban setting and commitment to accessibility attract students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, making it a microcosm of the broader Philadelphia community. Located in North Philadelphia, the campus is embedded in a community that faces significant social and economic challenges, providing students with unique opportunities to engage in meaningful service and apply their faith practically.
Chi Alpha is currently a registered student organization at Temple University and also has a property walking distance from campus.
