PHILANTHROPY
The Lambda Omega Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta is committed to serving the community through various philanthropic activities. Our efforts focus on both raising funds and dedicating time to meaningful causes.
​
Our Chapter's support and proceeds continuously go to the Canadian Mental Health Association raising awareness for specifically men's mental health.
Austen Berlet Campout for Mental Health
Our main philanthropy event, raising over $100,000, is the Austen Berlet Campout for Mental Health. This annual event raises funds and awareness for mental health, supporting the CMHA Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services. These services are crucial in assisting Western students, particularly during stressful exam periods. The event honors the memory of Austen Berlet, a brother of Phi Gamma Delta who battled bipolar disorder and tragically passed away in 2009. We hope that through this event, we can prevent similar tragedies and support those facing mental health challenges.
Lambda Omega CMHA Golf Tournament
In September 2022, we proudly launched our inaugural "Lambda Omega CMHA Golf Tournament." This event was aimed at promoting mental health awareness and all proceeds were generously donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Fiji Fashion Show
Annually, the Lambda Omega chapter organizes a Fiji Fashion Show to raise funds for the CMHA. Sorority members take part in this enjoyable event, showcasing fashion for a cause and contributing to mental health initiatives.
Other Philanthropic Involvement
Our fraternity is dedicated to various philanthropic efforts, including food bank donations and organizing blood drives. We seize every opportunity to make a positive impact in our community.We actively participate in philanthropic events organized by other Greek organizations on campus. We believe in the strength of unity and collaboration for the greater good.
