Sustainability Coordinators are champions for sustainability initiatives selected within each chapter. It is up to your chapter whether the coordinator is a volunteer or an executive member that is voted on and selected by the chapter. This coordinator is the link between UGA’s Office of Sustainability and your chapter. We can’t reach every Greek student on our own, but you can influence the perception of sustainability within your chapter and improve the “green” reputation of Greek life at the University of Georgia.

No Chapter House? No Problem!
We would still love for your chapter to participate in our program. Easy modifications
are included in the Getting Started resource document.
Seven Steps to a Sustainable Chapter
- Provide a written letter of support for campus sustainability initiatives signed by your Chapter president.
- Elect or appoint a Sustainability Coordinator who promotes initiatives within your Greek chapter.
- Discuss your Chapter’s sustainability goals and progress at monthly meetings.
- Incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion training into your Chapter's programming and expect that each member speaks and acts in ways that are respectful and affirming of others.
- Co-host a project or event with an organization whose primary membership represents a culture or race different than your Chapter’s primary membership.
- Strive for diversity among your Chapter’s membership.
- Participate in meaningful community service.
- Develop and implement a plan to address food insecurity and donate unused food items to a local organization that serves campus or community members in need.
- Source 10% or more of your food from local farmers and vendors.
- Encourage all Chapter members to purchase local foods.
- Plant edible and/or native plants to create a nourishing and pollinator-friendly landscape at your Chapter house and/or members’ houses.
- Eliminate the use of styrofoam from all Chapter events.
- Replace single use utensils, cups, plates, and “late plates” with reusable or compostable options.
- Compost food scraps from Chapter meals and at events.
- Maintain clearly labeled, co-located landfill and recycling bins.
- Ensure that all recycling is collected in clear bags (or no bags).
- Provided extra recycling bins, such as cardboard bins available through the Office of Sustainability, when needed during large events.
- Track monthly water and energy use.
- Install low-flow plumbing fixtures, such as toilets, shower heads, and faucets/aerators in your Chapter and/or members’ houses.
- Install LED light bulbs in your Chapter and/or members’ houses.
- Encourage all chapter members to conserve energy and water, including turning off lights, taking short showers, and other strategies.
