Dance Marathon
Members of the fraternity and sorority community were responsible for starting the organization. Now, every year, fraternities and sororities participate in UI Dance Marathon. Chapters raise money for the kiddos and families fighting pediatric cancer at UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
At the end of the year, chapters celebrate their hard work and show support for DM families by participating in the 24-hour Big Event. FSL members hold various leadership positions, including Captains, committee members, and Executive Council members. In 2024 Fraternity and Sorority Life members raised over $140,000 for the 30th anniversary of Dance Marathon!
Food Pantry at Iowa
In 2023, Fraternity and Sorority Life partnered with Undergraduate Student Government to host a community-wide food drive benefitting the Food Pantry. The initiative resulted in over 1,100 lbs. of food and personal care products being donated and was the largest donation the pantry has received to date! Many of our chapters and their members also choose to support the food pantry by hosting internal food drives and volunteering. Learn more about the Food Pantry at Iowa here.
