THE FIVE FOLDS The diversity of our programming is what makes the AZA experience so unique. Activities at all levels are built around five programming areas, called "Folds." The Five Folds are Athletic, Community Service/Social Action, Education, Judaic and Social. These folds are often combined to create more dynamic programming. Social  chapters sponsor a wide variety of social programs, often with  chapters. While there is nothing wrong with simple social programming, it is important to be creative and use the fold in the proper proportion and to combine this with other folds for effective programming. Judaic Judaic programs bring a unique, spiritual aspect to life in , seeking to develop an understanding of, and appreciation for, the religion and culture of the Jewish people. Through programming in the Judaic fold, we not only learn about Judaism, but also about the different denominations that other members practice. Creative Jewish programs incorporate the popular culture of today as well as traditional Jewish rituals. 36
