Alpha Kappa Lambda: I am in a greek organization called Alpha Kappa Lambda here at Temple University. During my brotherhood at AKL we have done various community service activities and fundraising events for different causes.
These include,

For one week per semester, we devote our times to bring awareness to the community about domestic abuse and sexual assault. Along with spreading awareness we can shake which involves raising money by donations for victims of abuse and assault.
- Adopt a School
We partner with schools and churches to touter, and play with underprivileged children. We do this so we can guide them in the right direction in life.

Every fall we walk 8 miles to help raise money for a cure of HIV and AIDS.

Another fall event where we walk and raise money at the Philadelphia Zoo for the Kidney Foundation.
