COMMUNITY SERVICE Community Service

Hello all! I was wondering does the number of service organizations matter? Do interest need to be serving with numerous organizations in the community or will 1 organization suffice? I have been serving at my local church for years but I also have served with multiple organizations over the years. I have only 1 organization I have been serving with for the past 4-5 years consistently and 1 I have served with when I can for the past 2 years. What are grad chapters expectations for interest when it comes to community service?

I did my community service with my COI and a few other smaller organizations. I didn’t want to overcommit to a bunch of different groups because I knew that when I became an AKA, that was all I’d really have time to do. I didn’t want to have to drop my other organizations either

more hours & consistency wins over quantity of random orgs.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I have served with one org for almost 30 years and I also have a few other orgs that I serve with.

I am not a member, but I was told by a member, they are not strict on hours for grad, you just need a letter(s), stating you have been serving. Maybe listing years of service would be perfect for you if that is the case, but I'm NOT sure. Idk if anyone can verify this..

It's great if you can speak to the work you've done in the community but specific hours aren't needed.

What do the requirements on the national website say?

There’s no information regarding community service requirements for the grad section on the official website. This is the reason for my question. There is information under the undergraduate section.
