Philanthropy

 
  • Vision...one of our most precious senses. Unexplainable to those without it; irreplaceable to those who have it. Protecting the gift of sight is one of Delta Gamma's top priorities.  Since 1936, Delta Gamma's philanthropic purpose has been to stop blindess before it starts.

    Ruth Billow, Eta-Akron member, who was blinded in a childhood accident, made an impassioned plea to the Delta Gamma Convention in 1936. She asked Delta Gamma to make a difference in the lives of those with little or no sight. Her wish was to also help society appreciate the talents of those who are visually imparied. Ruth would be overwhelmed by the accomplishments of the Fraternity today. Here at Morehead State we host and participate in various events to raise money and awareness for our foundation, Service for Sight.  Our main events that Delta Omicron host are Anchor Splash & Anchor Slam!
