Campus Involvement

UGA Miracle

UGA Miracle is the university’s largest student-run organization benefiting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Throughout the year, Miracle gives students the opportunity to interact with Miracle families and their children while being a part of a diverse and dedicated community of students. UGA Miracle’s capstone event, Dance Marathon, is a 24-hour fundraiser that happens every February here at UGA! All funds raised by this organization go directly to rehab services (CIRU) and the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at CHOA.

UGA SWAB

Sydney Kelly (MC '22) is involved in Shop with a Bulldawg (SWAB), a student-run nonprofit at UGA. Their mission is to celebrate the value of community, the excitement of the holidays, and the children of Athens. SWAB holds an event day each year where children from the Athens community are paired with UGA student mentors to go shopping for holiday gifts their families might not be able to afford.

UGA HEROS

HEROs works to provide quality-of-life care to children impacted by HIV/AIDS. Hailey Hultberg (MC 21) is a team leader for this organization. She describes, "My experience in HEROs has shown how much impact we make on our kids' lives. I served as a Team Leader this past year for a group of highly dedicated freshmen. HEROs serve children mostly in the metro Atlanta area and have been able to change their lives through fundraising efforts and planned kid events geared towards showing kids that no matter their situation, they’re valuable and worthy." We are so proud of Hailey and other Pi Phis in this organization.

UGA ORIENTATION

Sophie Gould (MC' 20) was involved in UGA Orientation last summer! UGA Orientation serves as a resource for incoming freshman and transfer students into the University to prepare them for both personal and academic success. They provide friendship, resources, and experiences to help students of all ages to transition to UGA through informational programming and small group sessions. New Student Orientation strives to make every student feel comfortable and safe as they are welcomed to the University of Georgia!

Our sweet Margaret Timberlake (bottom right) (MC'18) is involved in HEROs! HEROs is a club on campus that raises money and provides support for children infected and affected by HIV/AIDs in surrounding communities. Margaret says, "Being on child relations committee for HEROs gives me a sense of satisfaction. I feel like I am doing something good for not only other people, but for myself. I am so thankful for an opportunity to work with these kids and an incredible group of club members."
