Philanthropy
Each spring the Zeta Eta chapter puts on our biggest service event of the year in our Pig Pickin' for CASA. A catered barbeque dinner is served on the lawn of Old Main, and the event is open to all Wofford students, faculty and staff as well as the Spartanburg and surrounding communities. Pig Pickin’ is sponsored by local businesses, and sisters also sell tickets so everyone at and around Wofford has a chance to support CASA services. This year Pig Pickin' was held on April 7 from 5:00-7:00pm. We raised over 4,000 dollars for CASA!
Zeta Eta’s local philanthropies are Guardian Ad Litem, the Spartanburg affiliate of CASA, the Boys and Girls Club, the Haven, and the Women and Girls' Home of Spartanburg.
Other philanthropic projects include a Christmas project for under privileged children in conjunction with Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, volunteering at the Humane Society, Miracle Hill Ministries, Terrier Play Day, Wofford's Halloween Carnival, and many others. Thetas are also involved in Alpha Phi Omega, the national service fraternity, Twin Towers, Wofford’s student volunteer services organization (including several on Twin Towers’ Cabinet), and the Bonner Scholars Program. Our sisters work in conjuction with the Ellen Hines Smith Girl's Home in Spartanburg, spending time with girls living there.
We work to support The Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation, the philanthropic arm of our fraternity which serves many purposes. The Foundation assists college women through financial assistance, contemporary programming in alcohol abuse prevention, leadership development training , and more.
