Service Divisions

One of the four pillars of AEΔ is service. Over 200 community service hours are offered every semester through various types of events. These events emphasize the importance of helping others, especially within the Gainesville community.

AEΔ's service divisions are called A and Z divisions. As an electee, you will be assigned to one A division (15 hours), and one Z division (8 hours). Although you will need to complete the required amount of hours in your assigned division, you are welcome to attend any division's events. Between our eight A/Z divisions, there are a wide variety of events to attend. Read below to learn more about each of our service divisions!
