Philanthropy and community service are major components of fraternity life. Each year individual chapters raise thousands of dollars and compile hundreds of hours of community service. Every chapter supports a philanthropic event by holding a fundraiser annually. Fundraisers range from canned food drives to road races and golf tournaments. Recently, the Greek community united to fully fund and build a Habitat for Humanity House, known as the House the Greeks Built. The Greek community is also a major contributor to ugaMiracle, which among other endeavors sponsors a dance marathon which benefits Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Last year ugaMiracle raised over $300,000.
