    Community Service and Philanthropy are two things that are extremely important to the Greek Community at Longwood University. As a community we work each semester on a community service project. The Interfraternity Council has also implemented a Philanthropy of the Year project, where each year the council will choose a local organization to host an event to raise money for.  Each individual fraternity chooses a philanthropy to support on their own as follows.
