Day of Service

Day of Service brings Theta collegians and alumnae together in service in honor of founder Bettie Locke Hamilton on her birthday. Since its inception in 2009, the core purpose of Day of Service is to do something meaningful and impactful for each of our respective communities. If every single Theta completed some act of service, the world would be a kinder, happier, and more loving place.
