Delta Zeta Supports The Hearing Impaired Through Its Annual Philanthropy Festival
Ilana Stein

In 2015, the sorority Delta Zeta pledged to raise $5 million dollars by the year 2020 for their National Philanthropy Partner, the Starkey Hearing Foundation. Delta Zeta successfully completed their pledge just this year, but are still working tirelessly for the speech and hearing impaired. Due to Delta Zeta's continued efforts and large successful donation, the Starkey Hearing Foundation provided over 500,000 hearing aid fittings to those in need; created a global recipient base; built 70 programs around the globe, and are still creating other initiatives to support their cause.

At Florida State University, even a pandemic won't stop the Alpha Sigma chapter of Delta Zeta from raising money for their philanthropy. This year marks the third year that the sorority will host their annual Food Truck Festival event to collect funds for the Starkey Hearing Foundation and the FSU Speech and Hearing Clinic. The FSU Speech and Hearing Clinic works to provide speech-language services to clients and develop exemplary treatment procedures for student and professional use.

The event will take place at 749 West Jefferson Street from 4-8:30 p.m. on November 16th. In accordance with CDC guidelines and with respect for the neighboring community, the Alpha Sigma chapter has made diligent efforts to prioritize the safety of all attendees. Those who attend must wear a mask at the event and will be prompted to select a 45-minute shift when purchasing their ticket.

Since its location at Florida State University in 1924, the Alpha Sigma chapter of Delta Zeta has been an active member of the surrounding community. Last year alone, the Alpha Sigma chapter at Florida State University raised $21,182 through its fundraising events and dedication to philanthropy.

To support the sorority and its goal to raise $5000 this year for the hearing impaired, visit this website to donate or buy a ticket for their upcoming event: https://dz.crowdchange.co/15576

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
