Service above self was one of the guiding principles of my fraternity, and we were active in the community.  During our 2nd year, we were asked by a local sheriff candidate to endorse his campaign as well as host a coffee for him.  Moreover, we actively campaigned for him since he had similiar values to a majority of our brothers.  Mr. Laugenour was very nice as well as to our house.  We were invited to his cool election night parties at his mansion in Woodland as well  as other fun events like a fundraiser on a train!

    Our national philanthrophy was March of Dimes, which is a great organization decided towards fighting birth defects in babies.  For March of Dimes, we hosted an ice cream social one year to raise money for them.  We invited the whole campus to our fraternity house for the event, and we especially promoted the event within the Greek System since the IFC and Panhellenic houses all supported each other's philanthrophic events.  Some of the members of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority were at our event and helped promote it too.
