The holidays are a time for family and giving. Many collegiate Greek organizations recognize this and plan philanthropic activities in their communities during the holiday season. Greek students from Youngstown State University are participating in a campus-wide “Giving Tree” event to donate to families in the communities surrounding their campus.
Towson University Greeks are doing the same in Baltimore City. Members from three different sororities and fraternities are coming together this Tuesday night in the University Union to volunteer in the annual Holiday for the Kids event. Elementary age children from inner city schools will arrive in busses to open presents from their holiday wish lists. Several small teams of Greek members received a wish list in October from one child, and they raised money to purchase and wrap gifts for that child. In the past, children have wished for clothes, Barbie dolls, bicycles, hamsters, and play stations.

I really think this is a good idea. When I was on student council in high school, we would try to organize events like this around the holidays. We would do a month long toy-drive and then right before christmas we would deliver them to Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. It was such a humbling experience. I hope you feel the same! :)
