Ditto on this one.

For as many years as I can remember, the Greeks at Boston U hold a major philanthropic/community event at the beginning of each school year. (Usually community oriented, like cleaning up the river front, fixing a playground, etc.) Good PR for the campus and rush, great for community relations and brings the entire system together. Everyone wins.
