Philanthropy

The Heart of Fraternity and Sorority Philanthropy at UNF

At the University of North Florida, philanthropy is more than a tradition. It is a commitment to leadership, service, and making a meaningful difference in the community we call home. UNF’s fraternity and sorority members are united by the belief that when people work together with purpose, they can create lasting change. 

UNF Greek organizations proudly support both their national philanthropic partners and a wide range of local Jacksonville organizations, allowing students to make an impact on a national level while staying deeply connected to the needs of the community around them. 

Built on Service and Leadership 

Fraternity and sorority life at UNF prepares students to become engaged leaders who care about others. Through philanthropic work, members develop skills in teamwork, communication, event planning, and community engagement that serve them well long after graduation. 

Whether organizing campus fundraisers, hosting awareness programs, or volunteering throughout Jacksonville, UNF Greek students consistently strengthen the bond between the university and the surrounding community. 

Strengthening Jacksonville and Beyond 

Each year, UNF’s fraternity and sorority community contributes thousands of volunteer hours and significant fundraising support to causes that matter. These efforts help: 

  • Support children, families, and youth programs 
  • Provide essential resources for individuals in need 
  • Advance health education and medical research 
  • Strengthen nonprofit organizations locally and nationally 

By supporting both local initiatives and national partners, UNF Greek life ensures that every effort made on campus reaches far beyond it.
