The greek organizations at Elon focus on service in the Alamance County community. In the past, they have orchestrated drives for clothes, school supplies, food, and feminine products, as well as events to help community members with voter registration and writing to Congress.
Senior Ja’Dun Michael, member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc, said he saw how his mentors and people he admired who belonged to Kappa Alpha Psi carried themselves and knew that it was the organization for him.
“One of my mentors is a member of the frat. I saw the way he and others I’d met carried themselves and treated others,” Michael said. “It was consistent amongst each member, which essentially influenced me.”
