Learn more about the Family Camp here.

Since Delta Zeta's partnership with the House Ear Institute in 1985, Delta Zeta alumnae and collegians have raised over half a million dollars for the Institute's mission.

Our first project for the Institute was the furnishing of a parents' conference room.  Delta Zeta provides funds for research and clinical services in the Children's Auditory and Research Center.
