Alpha Mu Delta at Rollins College rallied together on one sunny Saturday afternoon to clean up Orlando's Princeton Avenue. These twenty fraternity brothers set out to make a positive impact in the community they respect and enjoy. Roughly three hours and 21 trash bags later, the result was two miles of clean Orange County roadway.

Throughout the past year, the brothers of Chi Psi have demonstrated a high level of service to the Orlando community. At the 2009 Chi Psi Convention, Rollins College's Chi Psi chapter was recognized with the national Chi Psi Community Service Award for their efforts. The award represented the outstanding and unwavering commitment Chi Psi has to the Winter Park community.

Chi Psi President Clay Mitchell said, "We are considering last year a turning point for our chapter. We have unlimited potential this year, and I am very excited to see what we can accomplish. We are well on our way for setting the gold standard for fraternities in community service."

In the past two years, Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) has strived to improve the image of the Greek community. In regards to community service, IFC created a semi-annual fraternity community service award. Most recently, X-Club, Alpha Tau Omega and Chi Psi won first, second and third place respectively. The commitment to volunteer work among fraternities at Rollins College has exponentially grown in the past few years to a level untouched by most fraternities across America.
