Philanthropy
"Give Kids the World" is the joint tri-council philanthropy. Every Spring Break, DePaul's Fraternity and Sorority Life sends a select group of men and women from each council to participate in a week-long community service trip in Central Florida. The "Give Kids the World Village" is a 70-acre, non-profit resort that invites children who are facing life threatening diseases (and their families) to spend a week enjoying all the fun activities that the village resort and Walt Disney World provides!
