Service organizations became both a tradition and a staple of Cedarville University, making up an endless array of Greek letters, each with their own unique emphasis, talents, and mission. However, no matter their individual purposes, each organization ultimately saught to provide support, encourage, and, of course, service to both their members and those in the Cedarville family and community. Within their respected organizations, each group of men and women worked to build each other up through fellowship and prayer. Simultaneously, they were an active and driving force in the community and on campus, always seeking ways to help serve be it raking leaves or volunteering in the Cedar Cliff schools or raising funds for needy families. For example,Alpha Delta Omega, "an organization," as described by its president senior Rachel Blaquiere,"where women can feel encouraged,spiritually and otherwise," handed out root beer floats at the Homecoming Parade, offered a free gift-wrapping service at Christmas,and sold Krispy Kreme donuts to provide future funds for projects. In addition, in conjunction with their brother org, Delta Omega Epsilon, they participated in a coat drive to collect winter wear from around campus to donate to the Salvation Army. Alpha Sigma Lambda's ministry to the deaf community,Sigma Phi Lambda's ministry to the homeless of downtown Dayton, and Gamma Chi's Women's Singleness Panel were other examples of organizations and their willingnesslo serve. In serving others, the members of these organizations found encouragement in each other as well. Junior Jonathon Wasson described his organization, Sigma Phi Lambda, as "a tight group of guys that basically love the Lord and have a lot of fun together." Saud junior Tammy Fitzgerald, president of Alpha Sigma Lambda, service organizations were "a wonderful way to learn, meet people, serve, or just have a great time!" ry). at tcb to The CUEMS ambulance returns leisurely from a call.
