In Spring of 2026, we donated 49,138 items that were given to the Mulerider Market, First United Methodist Church, the Boys and Girls Club, and Compassion&#8217;s Women&#8217;s shelter. Through our efforts, we have donated over 110,000 items to local non-profits over the last five years.<\/p>\n<p>A more recent addition to our service efforts is the Stan Fields Memorial Softball Tournament. Proceeds go to Magnolia Specialized Services, where Stan was a client. The event brings both undergraduate and alumni members together for a day of friendly competition and fellowship. Clients of Magnolia Specialized Services also participate in the event, uniting members of our campus with members of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our <a href=\"http:\/\/photos.saumag.edu\/f584276299\">photo library<\/a> on the SAU website in order to see our students in action on campus and in our community!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greek Life at Southern Arkansas University prides itself on its campus and community involvement.
