“We are out here to raise awareness for our philanthropy which is Service
for Sight. It’s a program where we walk and drive visually impaired students
around campus. We help them out with whatever they need whether that
be helping them schedule tests with Disability Services or taking them to
get groceries. We work with Service for Sight throughout the year and on a
daily basis. Also, some girls who live in Baton Rouge will work over breaks to
help. We had a visually impaired sorority sister, and that’s how Delta Gamma
began working with this cause. It’s important for us to be inclusive. A lot of
people don’t realize exactly how prevalent of an issue it is, and we’re trying to
raise awareness about it. Philanthropy is a major part of sorority life. We take
great pride in that because we’re very hands on with our service. There’s daily
opportunities to help out and engage in our philanthropy Service for Sight.”
