One of the four pillars of Greek Life at Mizzou, philanthropy plays a large role in the lives of Mizzou Greeks. Each chapter has its own, usually week long, philanthropy event with the funds raised going to various local and national beneficiaries. Annually, Greeks raise into the tens of thousands of dollars for our beneficiaries. Along with each chapter having its own philanthropy week, chapters usually participate in other fraternity and sorority philanthropy weeks. Service to the community as a whole goes beyond simply donating money, many chapter members also spend time volunteering locally for their beneficiary, or just for fun.
