Service Greeks

[JayBEE!!]

I'm wondering just how many Service Greek Organizations are there? I know about...

Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity
Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority
Omega Phi Alpha National Service Sorority
Delta Sigma Theta Public Service Sorority

Not what organizations do service, because today almost every organization on campus does service. But how many other organizations actually have "Service" in their name?

Thank you!!!!! Does an organization have to state it in their name that they are service based? All of us were founded on providing services to our community.

Lambda Psi Delta Inc. is a multi-cultural service sorority.

[Senusret I]

My Brother is only asking which organizations use the word "Service" in their name, not which organizations have service as a principle or philosophy.

[DeeGeePee]

Delta Gamma Pi Multicultural Sorority is a service sorority.

Just a correction-

Tau Beta Sigma and Kappa Kappa Psi are NOT service orgs. We are honorary GLO's who serve the band. (think HS band boosters on a *much* cooler level!) We honor members of the collegiate band with the oppertunity to serve.

Any more questions? See our website at http://www.kkytbs.org
My chapters site at http://www.geocities.com/tbsdo
And there is a thread about this on the Phi Mu Alpha board... I cant remember the title though!

Yes they do.

The reason I ask is because, specifically service organizations are affected by Title IX However, non-service organization are not. Meaning, as a guy, I could join any service fraternnity or sorority if I wanted to, on a campus that is federally funded. Social organizations are exempt from this national law. Today all greek lettered organizations do service. So the phrase service-based does not apply here, even though you are service. Either you are a service organization or you are a social organization that does service. This is the reason why I'm asking. I wanted to see how many service organizations were affected by Title IX. Thank you Rashid.

So help me out...if your organization is specifically service anyone can join regardless of sex/gender at a public university? Meaning that because the university federally funded their organizations cannot discriminate?

Well, this does not directly answer your question, but maybe it offers some starting points:

The Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities classifies greek lettered organizations (and other fraternal organizations) into four groups -

General, Honorary, Professional, Recognition

Traditional service organizations such as Alpha Phi Omega, Gamma Sigma Sigma, Omega Phi Alpha, and the Intercollegiate Knights, are all Recognition Fraternities and Sororities. We often consider these "Service" organizations even though social activities are a major part of their being. Most of these organizations have some sort of non-discrimination policy, sometimes as a result of not being exempt from Title IX.

Organizations that are social, service, and/or social action oriented in nature AND are selective on intangible criteria are in the "General" category. We oftentimes consider these organizations as "Social" even though that is not always their main reason for being. The Federal Government considers NPHC organizations "social" for the purposes of Title IX exemption.

To avoid arguments and debates, I have begun using the term "General" Fraternity or Sorority to mean an organization that is exempt from Title IX.

Also, Title IX applies to any campus receiving federal funds of any type, including students who receive federal financial aid.

There is a thread called "Dual Membership" that discusses a lot of this.
