What kind of community service and philanthropies do Greek organizations participate in?
One of the most gratifying aspects of Greek life at Carnegie Mellon University is the sense of satisfaction and pride which comes with involvement in community service. Fundraising events of many kinds are organized each year by fraternities and sororities in order to benefit worthwhile charities. Such projects help build moral character through the realization of needs of people who are less fortunate. Each year, individual chapters participate in community service projects ranging from Greek Sing, to Quarter Mile of Quarters, to volunteering at local shelters and soup kitchens, to food and clothing drives. Helping others will undoubtedly be one of the most rewarding experiences a student in a fraternity or sorority will have in college.
