Service for Sight
Protecting the gift of sight is one of Delta Gamma's highest priorities. Since 1936, Delta Gamma's philanthropic purpose has been to stop blindness before it starts. For men and women for whom blindness is a fact, the mission has been to impact the quality of their lives in a myriad of positive ways. We have funded genetic research, low-vision adaptive devices, tapes, Braille books and hundreds of life-enhancing programs. Our members have helped men and women in hundreds of ways to obtain independent living skills, increased communications and mobility skills. Delta Gammas give more than 96,000 Service for Sight volunteer hours each year, one volunteer at a time, each leaving her mark on the world.
Anchor Slam
Our philanthropic event, Anchor Slam, is a basketball tournament between all fraternities on campus. Our members are paired with a fraternity team to coach them during the tournament. Anchor Slam 2009, was a great success and a lot of fun for all who participated. The competition included the 5-on-5 tournament, hot shot contest, and 3 point shooting. All Anchor Slam proceeds benefit our foundation, Service for Sight.
