Greek Life Council
The Greek Life Council is a representative body of all Fraternities and Sororities at Grand Valley State University. It serves as a way to unify the Greek system by providing funding for events, campus programming, and a venue to come together once a month as leaders to discuss issues facing the Fraternity and Sorority community.
Greek Life Council has many responsibilities, including fundraising and planning for the annual Greek Week, hosting community service and philanthropy events, and sending out newsletters updating the local and campus community about what Fraternity and Sorority Life is all about.
When GLC first formed, they came together with a mission statement and set of values that all Fraternity men and Sorority women at Grand Valley strive to uphold. Please click on the "Mission Statement and Values" section of the website to learn more about the commitments that GLC is making at GVSU.

Heart of West Michigan United Way Volunteer Center
There is nothing inherently new about volunteers donating professional expertise, but in the past year a variety of summits and action campaigns have examined the potential of intentionally and strategically applying business talents to the nonprofit world. Skilled or skills-based volunteering is the practice of using work-related knowledge and expertise in a volunteer opportunity. In other words, skills normally used to generate income are provided free of charge to a nonprofit organization.
