Giving back to the community and society through service and philanthropy is a key element to Greek life on any campus. Triangle Fraternity at Virginia Tech is no exception, as we promote service in our brotherhood internally, as well as participate in multiple philanthropic events throughout the year.
Service With Triangle
Big EventThe Big Event at Virginia Tech is a student-run day of service that has grown into the second largest event of its kind in the nation. Every spring, thousands of students, faculty, and staff come together to complete nearly 1,200 community service projects throughout Blacksburg, Christiansburg and the New River Valley with the purpose of saying Thank You.
