Several chapters regularly volunteer at and donate items to soup kitchens and food pantries throughout the city. Most of UB's chapters have a long-standing tradition of involvement with local philanthropic efforts. Many of these organizations are nationally affiliated and have at least one charity with which the national organization is associated. Each local UB chapter, however, averages three community-service projects per semester. Listed below are just some of the successful public service and fund-raising activities that these groups have participated in, sponsored, and organized.
Students volunteer to organize activities to maintain roadways.
Greek students volunteer as tutors in local grammar schools. Students volunteer to organize blood drives throughout the year. One college-bound student receives proceeds from a scholarship fund. The Walk for the Cure and Superbowl Sweepstakes proceeds go to this association. A five-kilometer race is sponsored in remembrance of a student.
