⚘ Each semester two Panhellenic chapters are chosen to host a philanthropy in support of their national service organization.
⚘ ⚘ During a week of activities, fraternities compete in an athletic tournament, participate in hands on community service, and raise money, while being coached by the sorority women.
⚘ ⚘ ⚘ Chapters who do not host a philanthropy participate in similar exciting philanthropy activities hosted by a fraternity from IFC (the Inter-Fraternal Council) during the same week.
In addition, Panhellenic women participate and raise money for other various community service causes including annual walks such as the Breast Cancer Walk, MS Walk, and this past year had the honor of supporting the first annual Jenny's Walk. One of the expectations of Greek potential new members is to consider that it is our responsibility as Greeks to remain active in the community through philanthropic ideals.
