Philanthropy and Community Service
The UW fraternity & sorority community raises over $500,000 a year for local and international charities and organizations.
Each chapter hosts many events throughout the year in order to raise money, usually culminating with a week long philanthropy event. Philanthropy events, or “philos”, can range between late-night feeds at the chapter house, to talent shows and athletic competitions.
In order to encourage maximum participation at each chapter's philanthropy events, there is a limit of one (1) fraternity philanthropy week per week.
Court competitions, although they may not be philanthropies, also must go through the same approval process as IFC philanthropy events. Please fill out the philanthropy/event form for your court event and follow the listed instructions.
Chapters may apply for a specific week up to one (1) year in advance, and the application can be found under this link:
