Philanthropy
As part of the University of Georgia campus, along with Theta Chi's national standing, we think as a chapter it is important for our brothers to have a strong philanthropic background. We fundraise at least $1000 every year for the United Service Organization (USO), an organization dedicated to keeping military service members connected to their families and homes.
Dawgs on the Lawn
The chapter hosted its second-ever Dawgs on the Lawn philanthropy event during Spring 2022. We partnered with Rescue Paws UGA, an organization that cares for homeless animals in the Athens area. They brought out a bunch of dogs to our front lawn and under the MooCoo tree. Everyone who came had a great time playing with the dogs or making them part of their families. All proceeds benefited Rescue Paws UGA in saving animals in need of a home.
Battle of the Band Room
In the Fall of 2018, our chapter hosted several artists from the Athens area to perform in our philanthropy fundraiser. The artists included Everyday Dogs, RuHaa!, Ashley Walls, Sarah Mootz, and AFTM. Volunteer judges voted Everyday Dogs as the winner of the competition. All of the proceeds benefited United Service Organizations.
Classic City Christmas Toy Drive
At our annual Classic City Christmas date night, the chapter collected at least 30 gifts from brothers and their dates. All the toys were donated to Toys For Tots and the Salvation Army Athens Unit.
Color Wars
Our Chapter hosted its first annual Color War to benefit the CURE Childhood Cancer Foundation. The event revolved around a dodge ball tournament hosted in our band room with teams consisting of sororities and campus organization. Each team was assigned a color and had to compete in a paint-drenched tournament to reach victory. The Color War was concluded with a color powder free-for-all in our front lawn. All proceed went to the Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation to assist in research and eradicate cancer.
