"To those whom my life may touch in slight measure, may I give
graciously of what is mine."
~Delta Zeta Creed
Service to others, whether in the community, the campus, or within the Sorority, has been an integral part of Delta Zeta since its inception. Every chapter devotes much of its attention and effort to helping where there is a need. The national altruistic project supported by the collegiate and alumnae chapters is assistance to the speech and hearing impaired and The Painted Turtle Camp.

The Painted Turtle Camp is located outside of Los Angeles and hosts chronically and
seriously ill children. Our chapter makes items like nametags and bracelets for campers,
and we lend our financial support to send campers to The Painted Turtle.
The Delta Zeta Foundation specifically supports Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.
and the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles, California. Gallaudet University is the only
four-year liberal arts school in the world devoted wholly to the needs, instruction, and
training of young people who are deaf.
The House Ear Institute is one of the world's foremost research, teaching, and treatment centers in the field of hearing. Through our work, we also educate the public on the challenges that the hearing impaired face.
One of our favorite new projects, that is supported by our chapter and by Delta Zeta nationally, is Pink Goes Green. Pink Goes Green is an initiative to encourage all Delta Zetas to live a "greener" life. Locally our chapter has adopted a highway that we clean-up twice per semester.

Delta Zeta's are very active in the Nacogdoches community and volunteer with
several organizations. Some of our members volunteer with organizations such as
Big Jacks, Best Buddies, and Driving Jacks.
Our chapter also visits the local nursing home to play bingo with the residents, hosts canned food drives, volunteers at the Nacogdoches County Animal Shelter, participates in the Back Pack Program, and hosts blood drives.
Delta Zeta's also reach outside our immediate area by going on Mission Trips to South America and Eastern Europe. Our chapter also supports Deaf Awareness Week in late September. The ladies of Delta Zeta are always looking for new places to make a difference through volunteerism.
Our New Members hold a fundraiser to help raise money for the The Starkey Build A Bear Program. The fundraisers allow Delta Zeta sisters to travel to the Build A Bear store in Tyler to make bears with "hearing aids". These bears then go to children getting a hearing aid from The Starkey Foundation.
