Giving
of time and resources to those less fortune is a very integral
part of the Greek Life experience. Our chapters and councils
do various events throughout the year of service when they
give their time to support local and national groups. We also
do many philanthropy events each year in which we help raise
money for important causes.
Some examples
of major campus events:
Sigma
Chi Derby Days (fall) - Children's Miracle Network
Alpha Chi Omega Mr. Briton (spring)- Sexual Assualt Services
of Calhoun County.
Delta Gamma Anchorsplash (spring) - Service for Sight
Sigma Nu Charity Classic (spring) - Jesse's Gift
and many more...
Each year
our groups raise around $30,000 which is given to agencies
to help support their efforts. For 2007-2008 all the Greeks
have come together to work for a common goal. We chose to
help raise money for the St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis,
TN. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for their organization and
in January of 2008 we will announce how much we raised.
