TODAY: WHAT TG DAY OF SERVICE HAS BECOME

As Paddy Murphy has become known throughout the realm and on college campuses for raising funds to benefit philanthropic organizations, the modern-day goal for the True Gentleman Days of Service is to be known in the same way for community service and volunteering. During the 165th Anniversary Convention, the Supreme Council set a goal that by 2025, the Fraternity would complete at least 1,000,000 community service hours. To support this initiative, the Fraternity has put together this resource to help chapters in their respective efforts to help all members complete their minimum of 20 hours or more of community service each year.

Although a chapter is free to assist any cause of its choosing, including allocating volunteering with local service organizations, we encourage you to consider holding an event benefiting one of our four National Service/Philanthropic partners. We also encourage you to include a TG Day of Service as a part of Paddy Murphy.

WHAT IS A TG DAY OF SERVICE?

A True Gentleman Day of Service is any service project or event held by a group of SAEs.

Groups are encouraged to hold multiple TG Days of Service throughout the year and are welcome to hold them at any time.
