Service and Philanthropy
All fraternities and sororities are encouraged to participate in service and philanthropy projects. Service is the act of giving. It means giving time to an individual, group, or agency in need of volunteers. Philanthropy is the act of raising money to be given to an organization. Philanthropies can support organizations both locally and internationally.
Regrettably, many chapters look at service and philanthropy only as a form of public relations. While service and philanthropy do play some part in public relations, it is important to realize that service and philanthropy can bring about a sense of self accomplishment, self confidence, and pride in oneself, one's chapter, the fraternity and sorority community, and the entire Ohio University community.
