Members of the IU Greek Community are honor students, scholarship recipients, and Dean's honor roll members. Fund-raising events of many kinds are organized each year by fraternities in order to benefit worthwhile charities. Such projects help build moral character through the realization of the needs of people less fortunate. Each year, individual chapters participate in community service projects ranging form working with Big Brothers and Big Sisters to fund-raising drives for the Heart Fund, American Cancer Society, Muscular Dystrophy, and Riley Hospital for Children. Each semester thousands of fraternity and sorority members participate in a wide variety of community service projects.
New members have the opportunity to serve on a number of committees within the chapter.
Committee members and chapter officers are responsible for the operation of their chapter. In addition to chapter leadership positions, members have many other opportunities within the IU community.
