Group Description

Categories: Political and Social Action

The goal of 3G is to challenge Sororities and Fraternities each year to make at least one
lifestyle change in each of their respective chapters to get them on track
to living in the most environmentally efficient quarters and/or leading the
most eco-efficient lifestyle they possibly can, given their resources.

Group's principal activities, events, or programs:

3G will organize a recycling program for the Greek Community, make a move to wind power, replace shower heads and faucets to conserve water, educate the community on small changes they can make in their everyday lives, participate in an environmental service project each semester or organize an annual philanthropy to raise funding for Greeks Going Green, Inc. and so much more!

Annually, 3G will be sponsoring the Greeks Going Green Earth Day event.

How this group's activities benefit the University community:

By educating the Greek Community about ways they can live more sustainably, we are educating a large group of leaders at this University to spread their knowledge about sustainable living to other students.

How this group fits into its categories:

Greeks Going Green is a campaign started to help promote environmental awareness and eco-friendliness within the Greek community. We are creating awareness of what is happening to our environment and asking the Greek Community to make changes in order to help.

How to get involved with this group:

To be a member of Greeks Going Green, one must be a member of a University recognized Fraternity or Sorority.
