Every month we showcase a different way our chapter is diverse, equal, and inclusive.  From silly to serious topics we want everyone of our members to showcase their voice!

DEI Series 

One event we look forward to every year is our Friendsgiving.  This is a time we can reflect on the past year with good food and even better company. We wanted to reflect on the goods times we have had on past Friendsgivings and hope we will carry on the tradition for years to come.

Friendsgiving

What truly makes me smile and fills my cup is volunteerism. Helping ill and injured individuals experiencing homelessness regain their health and independence through The Boulevard not only makes a difference in someone’s life, but mine as well. Additionally, providing critically needed care to homeless animals at Treehouse Humane Society gives me so much joy and has made me a more compassionate, patient, and thoughtful person. Volunteerism is for everyone!   


What makes you smile?!

Sarah Vetrano

Something that makes me smile is my dog, Rizzo, being insane!

Erin Coyle 

Catching up with friends will always make me smile!

Hi I’m Sandy and as a Community Lending Relationship Manager at Draper and Kramer Mortgage I am a member of the National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America and the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals. I help educate and implement programming for the Loan Officers at my company to support sustainable homeownership in minority communities. My favorite Hispanic Heritage month practice is to support small Latino owned businesses!

What are you doing to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month?

Delta Zeta changed my life and taught me that my sisterhood is more than just four years in college.

**Lauren B.,** *Omicron Gamma, Ohio University*


I love the Greek life phrase "not 4 years but 4 life" and I feel DZ Chicago has perfectly embodied that sentiment!  I love all the fantastic women I've gotten to meet, the fun I've had, and the continued experience of service I've given back to the community through our time together!
