[pHiSiG cHiCkAdE]

At my school everyone's GLO (well pretty much all of them) have an annual "party" on campus. Each year it changes. Some of the GLOs do their annual thing off campus and it has remained the same for years. Yeah uh, I won't get into details about those. But, anyway, Phi Sig's this year is a Western themed party. It's held on campus so it's just a little thing. In past years we have done Mardi Gras..

But, last year we were in charge of Greek God and Goddess. It will be a different GLO though this year. Don't know who yet.

University of Chicago:

Kappa Alpha Theta has Mr. University
Delta Gamma has Anchor Slam
AOPi sorta picks through different events and has had a pizza pie eating benefit and put on events like MTV's Singled Out
Psi U had Cool legs, Hot buns
AEPi had Lascivious Ball
Fiji had Islands

Other fraternities have parties like graffiti but I think they're just themed parties and not just associated with them at other schools.

Alpha Epsilon Pi:

Our chapter at Mizzou has the nation's largest single fraternity philanthropy called Rock-a-thon.

Our Northwestern chapter has something called Dog Days which involves hot dogs and concerts and a bunch of other fun stuff http://www.dog-days.org/

And our Indiana chapter evidently has some HUGE formal/party called Hollywood I think. I've never been but I've heard the bill for this is through the roof.

The major event we were involved with was the Walk for Hunger, as we volunteered every year I was in school (and are still doing so, to the best of my knowledge). We also threw a Halloween party for a nearby preschool. Those were our two biggest philanthropies, although we did have others.

Lambda Chi always had their canned food drive
ZBT had ZBTahiti, although I'm not sure where exactly the proceeds went
Chi Phi had a rape prevention program
Alpha Phi had Jail N' Bail, which went to the Susan B. Komen fund
Gamma Phi Beta had a lip sync contest during Greek Week; I'm unsure of who those proceeds went to.

Those are all I can think of right now.
