Nationally Delta Gamma's national foundation project is Service for Sight. Service for Sight promotes awareness and servce activites for the visually impared and the bind. Altruistice work during the first World War convinced Delta Gammas that service was an important part of their Fraternicy life. Serrvice for Sight was born out of a suggestion during the Convention of 1936. The enthusiasm of DG member, Ruth Billow, H-Akron, who was blind herself and spoke form notes typed in braille, was the spark which brought acceptance of Service for Sight as Delta Gamma's national project. Since 1952, Delta Gamma has given $2,256,808 to 50 organizations in the United States and Canada. The total hours of service reported for the 2006-07 year was 97,598!! |
