Local
Alongside RMHC, Alpha Delta Pi supports the Max Gruver Foundation, an organization that seeks to end hazing on college campuses. Iota Delta supports other philanthropic events on campus by participating in Sewanee Dance Marathon, Sewanee Relay for Life, and works to support our Greek community’s philanthropy of Thistle Farms.
