Philanthropy

One of the most important things we do as a chapter is help the local Athens community as well as various national organizations. Delta Zeta’s National Philanthropy is Speech and Hearing Impaired and the Painted Turtle Camp. Under Speech and Hearing, we support Gallaudet University, the House Ear Institute and The Starkey Hearing Foundation nationally and sponsor the Turtle Grant locally.

Our Third Annul Wing Bash will be October 21, 2008 at our house! It is $5.00 all you can eat wings and we also have a wing eating contest for the guys! This has been such a success in the past two years, and we are so excited for this years. Tickets can be bought from any Delta Zeta sorority member, or tickets can be bought at the door the day of the event. Our Wing Bash will be from 6-8. All Wing Bash proceeds go to assist our local philanthropy, the Turtle Grant. Come out if you can to support our Philanthropy!

The Turtle Grant was started by the Zeta Pi chapter here at UGA in 2006 to support local hearing impaired individuals in the Athens area. Our mission is to form a bond with the local deaf community through donated time and monetary gifts.

The Turtle Grant is 100% funded by the Delta Zeta at UGA. In order to raise money for the Turtle Grant, we hold our annual Wing Bash philanthropy event each fall. We also host a designer jean sale, where 100% of the profits made are donated to the Turtle Grant. In 2007, we held our First Annual Paintball Tournament, and held the tournament again in 2008. Fraternities and Sororities competed against each other and raised money for our Turtle Grant. It is our hope that the Turtle Grant will continue to grow in the years to come!

The Painted Turtle Camp, located in Southern California, is a member of the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps co-founded by Paul Newman. The Painted Turtle Camp is the ONLY multi-disease medical camp of its kind. The camps mission is to provide a year-round, life changing environment for children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

Other Events

In 2007 we held a prom dress drive to benefit low income high school students in Athens. After collecting previously worn prom dresses from sororities on campus, we allowed students from the local high schools to come and shop for a free dress!
