Zeta Delta is looking for alumnae sisters to support their wonderful academic endeavors. In this last year, the chapter midterm D/F list has been cut in half, and 62% of the chapter is making a 3.5 or higher GPA!  During Greek Week 2022 the chapter was just short of winning the overall academics award.
 

Please consider supporting this academic program at any level you can.
Donations can be made via Venmo @Deanna-Heuring

(the chapter cannot have a Venmo account, but the donations will be sent to them directly after they are collected)
 

Contact Deanna Heuring with questions

or if you'd like to donate using another payment method
