Greek life has a long-standing tradition of giving back. While each chapter supports causes locally, most national sororities and fraternities are partnered with official philanthropies that guide fundraising, service projects, and awareness efforts nationwide.

Whether you’re a new member learning about your organization’s mission, a chapter planning philanthropy events, or a parent wanting to understand where fundraising dollars go, this guide serves as a central, easy-to-reference list of sorority and fraternity philanthropies—organized by organization.

Note: Philanthropy partnerships may evolve over time, and many chapters also support additional local causes. This list reflects widely recognized national partnerships.

Why Philanthropy Matters in Greek Life

Philanthropy is more than fundraising—it’s a core part of Greek life identity. These efforts help build leadership skills, create meaningful community impact, unite chapters around shared causes, and strengthen alumni and national connections.

Planning a Chapter Philanthropy Event?

Successful philanthropy events rely on visibility, unity, and branding. Many chapters choose coordinated apparel to promote awareness, increase participation, and create keepsakes tied to meaningful causes.

Popular options include custom Greek letter shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts, and event-specific t-shirts and tanks that members continue wearing long after the fundraiser ends.
