SIU Bookstore Greeters Program

The SIU Bookstore Greeters Program is an activity that our Chapter does during the first week of Fall and Spring Semesters to raise money for our scholarship program. Members volunteer to work two-hour shifts at the Student Center Bookstore checking in back packs and other items shoppers carry as they enter the store. Up to five volunteers cover each two-hour shift throughout each day of the first week of school. This is a fun and often invigorating activity as hundreds of students rush to purchase their books during the first days of classes. In the end, it is quite a rewarding experience to know that you have assisted the university in helping our students settle in for another semester of learning. For our service, our Chapter receives $1,200 a year from the Bookstore for our scholarship program.
