Founded in 1914, JAPA is a community-based organization of women, affilitated with the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC). Members are alumnae from NPC member group fraternities. The women of JAPA aim to provide opportunities for long-lasting friendships among women, encourage community involvement, award scholarships to deserving young women, exercise leadership and occupational networking, and enjoy the common bond of Greek sisterhood.
JAPA's meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month (September to May) at 7:00 PM at the Haskell Co. building, 111 Riverside Ave., Jacksonville, FL.
