Community service is a founding priciniple for Greek organizations. Kenyon Greeks

have a tradition of serving the Knox County community and national projects and

philanthropies. Each organization sponsors annual chapter service and philanthropic

projects. In addition, the Greek community participates in the campus-wide projects. In addition, the Greek community participates in the campus-wide Day of Service and coordinate the Fall Festival for local elementary school children. As a result of involvement in these programs, members learn the value of serving others and make a positive impact on the community.

e Peeps O' Kenyon are the most elusive of the Greek organizations at Kenyon, veiled in secrecy and myth. Little is known about their practices, and the magnitude and success of their parties is still a heated topic of discussion amongst academics. While stemming from mysterious origins, scholars have conrmed that the Peeps have sought out diverse, vibrant, spirited, and tolerant members since their formation. Despite the vast range of backgrounds, talents, and dietary restrictions, all members unite under the creed of Purity and Accuracy. e Peeps' love of parties is only rivaled by their love of sharing, and thus, every Peeps meeting is parties is only rivaled by their love of sharing, and thus, every Peeps meeting is open to all members of the Kenyon community.Nickname: PeepFounded: 1970Colors: Sun, Moon & StarsSymbol: Mortar and PestleMember Dues: TBDPhilanthropy: Transition Mission, Hot Meals, Fall Festival, Peirce Dish Pick-upTraditional Events: Halloween, Deb Ball, Inaugural Ball, and Valentines Day
