Programs and Initiatives
Get Involved
The 2025–2026 sorority year invites Delta Alpha Epsilon Zeta to expand its reach through intentional and impactful Programs and Initiatives that uplift our communities and strengthen our sisterhood. Rooted in the values of Service, Scholarship, Sisterhood, and Finer Womanhood, our focus is on creating meaningful change and building sustainable growth.
Special attention is placed on Elder Care, Adopt-a-School, revitalization of our auxiliaries, and strategic fundraising. These priorities ensure that Sorors and Amicae are empowered, engaged, and celebrated, while also positioning the chapter to give larger and more scholarships that directly impact the educational futures of deserving students.
Equally important, the Training and Development Committee equips our chapter with the tools, resources, and leadership support needed to strengthen capacity and ensure every Soror is prepared to serve with excellence. We will also launch an upcoming Charm School for marginalized children of Collier County, furthering our commitment to youth empowerment and equity.
We are also hoping to make a greater impact with March of Dimes, building on the momentum of last year when our chapter proudly earned second place in Southwest Florida. This year, our efforts will be even more strategic and visible, ensuring that families in our community feel the full strength of Zeta’s commitment.
These initiatives are not simply events on a calendar; they are purposeful acts of service designed to build community, strengthen bonds, and leave a lasting Finer Footprint. Through these efforts, Delta Alpha Epsilon Zeta will continue to lead with excellence and advance the vision of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
