Altruistic work during the first World War convinced Delta Gammas that service was an important part of their Fraternity life. Service for Sight was born out of a suggestion in an alumnae workshop at Convention in 1936. The enthusiasm of one particular member, Ruth Billow, H-Akron, who was blind herself and spoke from notes typed in braille, was the spark which brought acceptance of Service for Sight as our national project. Since 1952, we have given $2,256,808 to 50 organizations in the United States and Canada. The total hours reported for 2005-06 was 86,656.
