I think Greek orgs and their membership would be looked upon far more positively (not to mention the members would get a more positive benefit) if each chapter could gonback to choosing a local philanthropy they could do hands on work with. Bag the national philanthropies, which sometimes all the groups can do is contribute monetarily. To get the money, too often the groups either have annoying fundraisers or else an event that appears to onlookers more social than philanthropic.
