Philanthropy
Commitment to Delta Zeta's national philanthropy is upheld through the support of national
and local projects designated for speech and hearing help. Included are Gallaudet
University, the House Ear Institute and the Better Hearing Institute.
Supporting our philanthropy is not only part of our sorority's foundation, it is also
extremely fufilling emotionally.
The Iota Psi Chapter at UTA has adopted the Deaf Education Programs at
Miller Elementary School and Little Elementary School of Arlington.
Every year, Iota Psi members visit the children. Hearing-impaired children
learn through "experiences", much like fieldtrips and other activites.
Iota Psi plans activities throughout the year for the children.
The pictures on this page are from a trip to Six Flags. The Iota Psi
raised money to take 32 children, teachers, and chapter members to Six
Flags for the day.

Iota Psi fully supports the Delta Zeta national philanthropy of aid
to the speech and hearing impaired. Every fall we join forces with
our alumnae chapter to hold Strikenight, our bowling tournament to raise
money to donate to our adopted elementary schools and our National Foundation.
During Rush, our chapter has established a "Philanthropy Day" on which
chapter members along with rushees make items for the hearing-impaired.
Then after bid day, our chapter takes the actives and new members to
the school to donate the items. This helps introduce our new members to
the value of community service.
