Greek Philanthropies

Alpha Phi sisters at Beta Theta Pi's philanthropy

Alpha Phi's Move Your Phi't 5K in 2008

Many people do not realize this, but every fraternity or sorority has a philanthropy, a charitable event or cause that they dedicate themselves to. These causes are usually dictated by their national organization, not chosen by a local chapter. Greek philanthropy events take place on campus all year long. Beta Theta Pi does their all night Sleep Out for Rape Awareness. Alpha Omicron Pi hosts the Mr. Fraternity competition for Juvenile Arthritis. Sigma Chi does Derby Days, a whole week of events that raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. My own sorority, Alpha Phi, will be holding the Move Your Phi't 5K race on April 26th for Cardiac Care. Greek organizations don't just contribute on campus, they dedicate themselves to national and global causes as well!
