Philanthropy

         Our national philanthropy, supported by both collegiate and alumnae chapters, is speech and hearing and The Painted Turtle camp. Delta Zeta's partnerships with and The Painted Turtle and The Starkey Hearing Foundation were announced at the 2006 National Convention. All of these important programs provide additional volunteer and giving opportunities for collegiate and alumnae members.

         Delta Zeta has a philanthropic partnership with the Sound Beginnings Program. Chapters also support local and national speech and hearing organizations, such as Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the only four-year liberal arts school in the world devoted wholly to the needs, instruction, and training of young people who are deaf, and the House Ear Institute, which is one of the world's foremost research, teaching, and treatment centers in the field of hearing.

• The women of Delta Zeta Theta Mu participate in our own activities that help to support our national philanthropy’s. Theta Mu partakes in our annual Trampoline-A-Thon at the beginning of each spring semester we as a sorority team up with one of the local fraternities on campus and jump on a trampoline for 72 consecutive hours. For a total of 3 days, the women and men take turns jumping in the trampoline from anywhere of 2-4 hours in 30 minute increments. During this time the sorority also plans activities such as yard games, watching movies, having bonfires, roasting marshmallows and making smores, and uniting as Greeks for a great cause.
• The women of Delta Zeta participate in Adopt A Block, Adopt a Highway.” The women clean the debris around our block where our sorority house is and then we head to our mile stretch of highway and clean up the garbage there as well.
