Founded in 1902 at Miami University, in Oxford Ohio, Delta Zeta strives to enrich its members’ lives through its tradition of leadership, service, and philanthropy. At the University of Georgia, the Zeta Pi Chapter continually exemplifies these expectations, earning the national sorority’s highest achievement, the Crest Award, for the past five bienniums. Delta Zeta prides itself on its devotion to its philanthropy, the speech and hearing impaired, supporting the endeavor both financially and through hands-on service. Each year, DZ hosts Wing Bash, benefiting its local philanthropy, the Turtle Grant, and Bite of Athens, benefitting its national philanthropy, The Starkey Hearing Foundation. In 2015, Wing Bash won the UGA Panhellenic Outstanding Philanthropy Award. Delta Zetas have the unique opportunity to work directly with those supported and impacted by their philanthropy. Members volunteer with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program at Cleveland Road Elementary School, a partnership the Zeta Pi Chapter continues to develop through monthly activities with the children. The Zeta Pi Chapter believes not only in philanthropy but also in active service, sending girls to serve as camp counselors each summer at The Painted Turtle Camp, a camp for children with chronic illnesses, in Santa Monica, California. Collectively, the Zeta Pi Chapter has raised over $120,000 and documented over 18,000 service hours over the past year, providing assistance to countless members of the local Athens community and the global community. Delta Zeta members’ belief in service extends also to on-campus organizations, where Delta Zetas can continuously be found in leadership positions and serving on the Executive Boards for a wide variety of organizations from UGA Miracle, UGA HEROs, Relay for Life, and Wishmakers to AMSA, Diamond Darlings, Food2Kids, Extra Special People, Whatever It Takes Tutoring, the Wesley Foundation, and many other outside organizations on campus and in the Athens community. Delta Zetas’ passion for and commitment to service truly sets them apart, and their eternal love and friendship for one another extends even beyond the college experience. Delta Zeta welcomes you to the University of Georgia and wishes you the best of luck in Recruitment!
