The students in Alpha Phi Omega participate in various activities. They work with little kids and older people. They help with gardening and cleaning parks and other places. The Disability Resource Center relies on volunteers to give their time so that students with disabilities will have an easier time at college. The organization is in its 11th year at Drake.
Most college students take reading for granted.
Not many can remember a time when they were unable to read. Even fewer can imagine going through life without the luxury of comprehending written words. Unfortunately, for 3 percent of the U.S. population, illiteracy is a reality. 2000 Kids' Fest, Court Appointed Special Advocates, Special Olympics, American Heart Association and the Children's Miracle Network are just a few of the charities and organizations that Drake's Greek system is involved in. Many people think of fraternities and sororities as another way to get that second major in partying 101, but Greek systems around the world dedicate their time to charity work of all kinds.
