"To those whom my life may touch in slight measure, may I give graciously of what is mine"

Ariel Mercurio
VP of Philanthropy
"Delta Zeta embodies philanthropy through and through. Our national philanthropy focuses on Speech and Hearing, and we proudly partner with the STARKEY Hearing Foundation, the American Society for Deaf Children, and SeriousFun Camps to support those in need. Through fun events like Rose Ball, Hoops for Hearing, and Bootscootin’ BBQ, we raise funds for these important organizations. Locally, we also give back by partnering with “Paws Place” animal shelter. Our Delta Zeta sisters are passionate about the service we get to do and the difference me make in our community"

Delta Zeta is proud to be a philanthropic partner of the Starkey Hearing Foundation. The Starkey Hearing Foundation provides hearing aids to those around the world that are not fortunate enough to receive the gift of hearing on their own. Girls from Delta Zeta have traveled to various countries to help further support this philanthropy. Delta Zeta's global service project is SeriousFun Children's Network, an organization that provides free camps and programs for kids with serious medical conditions. Our Xi Theta chapter also works with local organizations like Paws Place. With this we hope to help find dogs a home. We also plan to bring them to campus to uplift spirits. We are excited to continue our service and fundraising efforts in 2026
