Philanthropy and Community Service Community Service has always been a top priority for KU sororities and fraternities. Each chapter sponsors annual philanthropic events, but Greek students often come together to benefit the Lawrence community by participating in various form of community service. There are also many campus-wide service projects sponsored by the Greek community on an annual basis. These activities and projects bring women and men from different chapters together while benefiting the community and the University as a whole. They also help women and men grow as civic-minded leaders.
Greek students volunteer at the schools about three hours per week.
These students come together to donate approximately 1,200 pints of blood annually. The donated blood goes to the Wichita Blood Center, which supplies the entire state of Kansas. Students work together to raise the money and provide the labor to build one house annually. HTGB is currently in its first year of fund-raising and they expect the first house to be completed by the end of November 1999. Greeks work to gain sponsors, endorse DCAP, and encourage people to participate in the walk.
