Lambda Zeta members strive for excellence and to make a difference through sisterhood, scholarship, and service. This is evident through the chapters community service programs such as Debates between the College Democrats and the College Republicans; volunteering for Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild the homes and spirits of those affected by the recent tornadoes to hit our area, lending a helping hand for Brush for Kindness working on improving and the renovation of existing homes in the community, volunteering at the local Boys & Girls club, local nursing homes, and donating books to the schools in the Tuscaloosa community. Members of the chapter also participated in the "Not Issolated March" to promote awareness and inclusion on the university's campus. The International Mixer to promote cultural awareness; Hip-Hop Exercise; Adopt-A-Freshman Mentoring Program; an annual Black History Trivia Bowl; and contributions to the Lupus Foundation in honor of one of our past members.
Now in its 37th year, Lambda Zeta is still making a profound impact on the campus of the University of Alabama and in the Tuscaloosa community.
National economic trends, such as unstable employment, the threat to Social Security as we know it, and the widening gap between wealth and poverty are the basis for the development of Financial Fortitude, the current Economic Development Program Initiative of Delta Sigma Theta. Financial Fortitude is a process that will help program participants to set and define goals, develop a plan to achieve them, and to put the plan into action. The process serves as a blueprint to address all aspects of personal finances.
The Sorority has made available chapter tools for the process, including a Money Smart Adult Education Program and a Money Smart computer –based instruction tool from the FDIC to complement the Financial Fortitude Program.
