Community Service - Our main beneficiary to our service events is the Childrens Miracle Network which provides medical equipment and treatment to children whose families cannot afford the help that is needed. We also helped in a Habitat for Humanity build where we helped two local families by building each a house.

We strive to become best friends with everyone in the fraternity and to form life long friendships. Our organization helps mold college age men into adults and prepare them for life after college.
