Chicken & WafflesEvery year in the fall we kick off our philanthropy season by hosting Chicken and Waffles, or "Chicky Waffs" as we like to call it. Since 2015, we have served fresh chicken and home-cooked waffles to our family, friends, and community. All the money we raise goes to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals!

Milkshakes for MiraclesOur spring philanthropy is Milkshakes for Miracles. On this special day we invite people to the Mu Mansion to enjoy assorted flavors of milkshakes with an unlimited topping bar. As Phi Mus, we strongly believe that the only thing better than a milkshake is a milkshake in support of the kids!

Dance MarathonFor the past six years, Zeta Gamma has shown our philanthropic efforts at Dance Marathon through being the top raising organization on campus. This year our chapter raised over $31,000. The 12-hour time period included a lot of dancing, stories from CMNH families, live performances , and small competitions to help raise even more money. We also have a large number of sisters that have served on Dance Marathon Staff, on Dance Marathon Execs, and as moral captains. We are so proud to come together with other organizations on our campus and celebrate the kids that we care so much about.

Hospital VisitsWhile raising thousands of dollars each year for CMNH is extremely rewarding, it becomes even more rewarding when we get to see where all our efforts have paid off. That is why our chapter plans monthly visits to the Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha. There, we get to tour the hospital and meet some of the incredible doctors and nurses that help the children we care about so much. During these visits, we also get opportunities to hear the stories of these courageous kids and their strong families, reminding us why we do what we do.

Out of the Darkness Walk The UNL Out of the Darkness Walk's goal is to raise awareness about suicide prevention while raising money to fund educational programs about mental health. The Out of the Darkness Organization is aiming to make UNL's community a safe and educational space to talk about mental health issues. This past year, our sister Alyssa served as the event coordinator of the Out of the Darkness Walk and organized an amazing virtual walk that many of our sisters participated in. Our sister Noel served as the event coordinator the year prior. Our sisters Julia and M'Lynn also served on the Out of the Darkness Executive Team. We are so proud to be an organization that is so passionate about mental health.

The Big EventThe Big Event is a community service organization within the ASUN Student Government at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. It is aimed at giving back to the local Lincoln community through one large day of service. More than 3,000 students, faculty, and staff volunteer and give thanks to Lincoln each spring as part of The Big Event. Each year, our chapter forms groups to volunteer together. This past year, our sisters Kali, Hailey, and Destiny all served on The Big Event Executive Team. The organization is entirely student-run and funded by donations from the community.
