A better balance of hands-on community service and campus-based philanthropic efforts is needed in the Ball State Greek community.
- Councils should ban ALL alcohol at philanthropic events.
- Chapters need to do a better job of planning efficient, one-day philanthropic events. Chapters and councils should also place more emphasis on hands on service projects. Both should be done at the individual, chapter, and community level.
- Utilize university resources (SVS, etc.) to place more emphasis on an ongoing service project (Adopt-a-School, etc.) and a campus-wide, hands-on, one-day service project for Muncie community coordinated by the Greek community (Habitat for Humanity, etc.).
- Evaluate philanthropic and service events to have non-Greek students and members of the university community attend/participate.
- SOA should educate chapters and chapter leaders on the importance of balance between service and philanthropy.
- Philanthropy and service events should be publicized more through the university calendar and web page calendar. Of course, this would mean the chapters have to plan their events way in advance and stick to their schedule.
