Philanthropy

All Alpha and Gamma and Delta active chapters of Delta Psi Delta take pride in their philanthropy involvement in their communities. The sisters take part in many activities throughout the year which include, but are not limited to, volunteering at local food banks, The annual Halloween food drive, and the MS walk. As well, every December the sisters commemorate the École Polytechnique Massacre by raising money in the victims memory and donating the money to various battered women's shelters.

The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada became a favourite event for the sorority when a sister from the Alpha chapter became diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. All chapters take part in the MS walk to raise money in hopes to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.
