Summary Report of 2006 Philanthropic Donations

Summary Report of 2006 Community Service Work

While fraternity and sorority members at Drexel University comprise nearly 10% of the campus population, they are responsible for a significantly greater percentage of programming in areas including community service, philanthropic activity/events, educational initiatives, and social. All of these areas complement the mission of these values-based organizations, and Drexel University tracks the progress and activity of chapters in these areas to document the monumental contributions fraternities & sororities make to the Drexel and greater community.

2007 Community Service Stats / 2006 Community Service Stats

Community service is hands on activity that is an important aspect of Fraternity and Sorority life. Participation in community service builds character through the realization of the needs of others. Fraternities and Sororities individually and collectively are involved in activities such as tutoring children, sponsoring blood drives, and conducting community clean-ups. Chapters submit their participation to the Office of the Dean of Students each term.

Chapters and members should report:

• Hands-on service to a community agency
• Hands-on service in helping people
• Chapter sponsored, required, or promoted events only
• Individual's service "in their name" for a cause may not be reported

Membership in Fraternities and Sororities offers students many opportunities to develop their leadership potential. Fraternities and Sororities not only provide training in the principles of leadership, but they are also laboratories in which these principles can be tested. Each member is actively involved in decision-making processes, teaching, and encouraging students to utilize their leadership talents in the chapter and on campus. Chapters also host and attend a great number of programs that further the educational mission of the University and enhance their member's academic experience. Chapters submit their participation to the Office of the Dean of Students each term.

2007 Fundraising / 2006 Fundraising

Fraternities and Sororities often undertake fundraising efforts to help offset costly initiatives like yearly composite photos and formals, and also to raise funds for use within the chapter (scholarships, rewards, incentives, etc). Examples include working large-scale events at Lincoln Financial Field, selling non-perishable foods, or even seeking donations from alumni and/or parents. Students may not sponsor raffles nor may they engage in gambling-type events to raise funds.

Chapters and members should report:

• All funds raised (small or large) should be reported

Recruitment:

Students at Drexel can join fraternities and sororities at any time while at Drexel. Each governing council organizes their efforts in a different way and at different times. The Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council each organize a recruitment process commonly referred to as “Rush” in the fall term. The Bicultural Inter-Greek council will host “Meet the Greeks” information sessions as an introduction to their member organizations. You can find out specific information by visiting their websites (www.drexelgreeks.com) or by emailing greeklife@drexel.edu .

Greek Week:

Greek Week takes place each spring term (May 3-11, 2007). It is a week of programming, competitions and events designed to increase spirit and community. Greek Week is organized by representatives from the governing councils and provides an opportunity to celebrate leadership, community service, scholarship, brother and sisterhood, and foster relationships.

Emerging Leaders & Greek 101:

Emerging Leaders and Greek 101 are programs that allows recently initiated members to develop relationships, gain skills, and discuss issues that face the future of Fraternities and Sororities. Participants must have begun the new member process within the past 12 months.
