PHILANTHROPY
May I give graciously of what is mine...
Our philanthropy and passion as Delta Zeta sisters is Speech and Hearing. Nationally we support Starkey Hearing Foundation, SeriousFun Network, American Society for Deaf Children. Locally we support the Tennessee School for the Deaf and the UT department of Audiology and Speech Pathology. Each year we host fall and spring fundraising events to raise money to support these incredible organizations. This school year we raised over $44,000 to support our philanthropic partners.
Service is another big part of our Philanthropy focus. Throughout the year, we offer our members multiple opportunities to serve the UT and Knoxville communities. We have participated in numerous philanthropy "mixers", and participate in other Greek organization's fundraisers.

Dedicating a whole week to philanthropy is one enticing way for the women of Delta Zeta to give back to our national and local philanthropies.
"Touchdown for TSD" is one of our favorite events, where we invite several Greek organizations on campus in an all night long flag football tournament, raising awareness for speech and hearing.
