Delta Zetas Everywhere Support Pink Goes Green
Since Delta Zeta launched Pink Goes Green in 2008, our chapters and
members embraced the commitment to preserve the environment. We empower
you with the knowledge that just one person can truly do more to protect
the environment and preserve the planet.
Omicron Delta Chapter volunteered to clean up the Bryant University campus after Spring Weekend 2015.
Alpha Beta Chapter (University of Illinois) won the Greeks Go
Green competition to increase recycling and reduce emissions. The
chapter won $700 from the competition, which was donated to a sister of
the Epsilon Chapter (Indiana University) who was battling cancer.
Freshman member Nomi Mandhan organized the effort. She presented the
initiatives and importance of going green during every chapter meeting
in the course of the competition.
Gamma Sigma Chapter (Eastern Michigan University) hosted
an event to benefit The Marine Science Center by raising money for food
and medicine for the injured turtles that the Center helps rescue and
rehabilitate. The money also helps support educational programs hosted

of turtles and how the ocean's ecosystem works.
