Service projects that directly benefit the members of the chapter should be included. Sponsoring leadership workshops, Fraternity conferences, fellowship events and academic support groups are some of the ways Brothers can challenge and support each other. As a new member, you have a responsibility to contribute ideas, interest and desire to the planning of the service program. As the membership of your chapter constantly changes, its needs, as well as those of your campus and community, change as well. The chapter program must reflect these changes.
Balance is the key to any great chapter service program.
While all service projects can provide both leadership development and fellowship opportunities the benefits vary with the size and duration of the project. Large projects, involving most of the chapter, provide a greater opportunity for your members to work closely with each other. They may also present a chance to involve members from other chapters or other organizations. Several small projects will increase the chapters' diversity and meet the interests of a greater number of your Brothers. They must be evaluated periodically to determine if they still meet a real need.
