Philanthropy

Promote service events and automatically track volunteer hours with Greek Connect's points system.

As philanthropy chair, you organize service events and prove your chapter's impact — often across dozens of members and events a semester. Greek Connect helps you fill those events and track every volunteer hour automatically, so you spend less time chasing paperwork and more time giving back.

Get members to show up for service

Add every service opportunity to the chapter calendar so members can see what's coming and RSVP. Attach a points reward to each event and members earn hours automatically just for attending — no sign-up sheet required. Send a message or dedicated service channel to promote upcoming events, and let the points leaderboard turn volunteering into friendly competition.

Track volunteer hours automatically

Set up a points system for service hours and Greek Connect keeps the tally for you:

  • Event attendance: members earn hours automatically when they're marked present at a service event.
  • Outside hours: members submit a custom point request for volunteering they did on their own; you approve, deny, or adjust it.
  • Recurring sites: for places your chapter volunteers regularly, like a shelter, use location tracking to award hours for time spent on site.

Report your chapter's impact

When it's time to report to nationals or your campus, export the numbers in one click — chapter-wide standings, individual member histories, and per-event participation all download as CSV.
