Service.

 

We are a Service fraternity, rather than a social fraternity. Our main purpose is to do community service, here on campus, throughout our community, we even extend our service to projects that are national and international.

 

Projects that we've done in the past include:

 

    * Hosting Food and Clothes Drives

    * Building Houses with Habitat for Humanity

    * Restoring Habitats in Point Reyes

    * Cleaning up our campus

 

 

Although our main focus is Service, we are still a Fraternity. And we hold various fellowships where we have a chance to have fun. As a pledge you will participate in ceremonies that each of us have gone through, you will have a Big Brother that will help guide you through your pledging process, and you will learn about our Fraternity’s History. We have a strict no-hazing policy.
