SNAP also sponsors Nuclear Pharmacy Career Day each year for students to interview for pharmacists and intern positions nationwide. The chapter raises money for various charity organizations and sponsors other community service projects during the year. It was founded in 1879 with the objectives of fostering the advancement of the profession of pharmacy educationally, fraternally and socially and promoting scholarship and pharmaceutical research. From the first chapter founded over 100 years ago, the fraternity has grown to 58 college chapters and a national membership of over 32,000.
Any student pursuing a degree in pharmacy is eligible for membership.
It is the oldest pharmacy fraternity in the United States. The BETA ETA chapter at UAMS was established in 1967. The fraternity attempts service projects in the community and provides a social atmosphere to complement academic life.
