Philanthropy

My name is Elizabeth Copeland, and I am honored to have been given the opportunity to serve as vp: Foundation for Delta Lambda this year.

In Mississippi alone, over 99,000 people are blind or visually impaired. When the women of Delta Gamma saw this need, they knew they were called to make a difference. They started Service for Sight, Delta Gamma’s very own foundation. Now,through Service for Sight, our chapter has donated over 906,000 dollars to vision related philanthropies across the country.

Our philanthropy is a major part of our efforts to live by our motto “Do Good,” and I hope that you will join us in participating in this wonderful opportunity to impact our local community as well as our nation.

We raise our money annually through two philanthropy events: Anchor Games in the fall, and Milk and Cookies in the spring. Anchor Games is a flag football tournament where students from organizations across campus are invited to start a team and play in the tournament. In the spring, we host Milk and Cookies where the Starkville community is welcomed into our home to enjoy a variety of cookies, milk, music, and fellowship

Delta Lambda’s Lectureship in Values and Ethics recently welcomed Tim Tebow as a distinguished speaker, drawing nearly 3,000 attendees to Humphrey Coliseum. Students and community members from across Mississippi gathered to hear Tim Tebow share powerful messages about character, leadership, and faith. Attendees left feeling inspired to live a life of purpose and significance!
