20 Events Hosted by Greek Life Organizations at Binghamton That Help Give Back
Posted by Junior Rachel Fisher on May 10, 2016
Being in a sorority has not only allowed me to make friends and memories that will last a lifetime, but it has also given me the first-hand experience of understanding the importance of an organization coming together to give back to those in need. Greek Life may only be about 13 percent of the student population, but when we all come together to fundraise and give back, our impact is profound and powerful on the Binghamton University campus and beyond.
As co-chair of Alpha Epsilon Phi's Mr. Greek God Competition, I learned the ins and outs of planning and organizing a philanthropy event. After seeing the success of our event and how supportive the rest of the Greek Life community was in making our event so great, I became curious as to what other fraternities and sororities did to give back to their causes. After interviewing representatives from some of the different organizations, I've learned that as great as each organization is on their own, they're even that much better when multiple organizations come together. Let's see what events each organization hosts and how the rest of the Greek Life community supports them!

A theater enthusiast by nature and a marketing major by choice, Douglas Harrington is as passionate about Binghamton as he is about using his sense of creativity to succeed. Though he is graduating in just three years, having earned two semesters worth of college credits in high school, his extracurricular schedule keeps him busier than most students would be four years in. A humble student, Harrington said that he’s “not really special, just busy.” We disagree. See what a normal day at Binghamton is like for Doug.
