Supporting Theta Forever
Give to Theta on #GivingTuesday!


Together, we embark on the great work of life. It is a journey that is not only about personal achievement, but also about making a difference that echoes through generations.

 

At the heart of Theta Foundation’s mission lies a fervent dedication to nurturing Thetas, guiding them to unlock their boundless potential. Our commitment resonates through every task we take on as we strive to provide avenues for growth and open doors to opportunities for Thetas everywhere.

 

GivingTuesday provides the annual opportunity for Thetas to unite in support of a cause about which we are all passionate! Since 2018, nearly $1.2 million has been raised on GivingTuesday to empower Thetas for generations through the Theta Forever Fund. On Tuesday, Nov. 28, Thetas and friends of Thetas around the globe will again celebrate our sisterhood through the support of Theta Foundation.

 

Every gift made on GivingTuesday will benefit the Theta Forever Fund. These unrestricted gifts allow Theta Foundation to ensure the Theta experience continues for years to come. The Theta Forever Fund supports Theta’s educational, leadership, and philanthropic pursuits, including the impactful experiences made available to members including Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI), the Young Alumnae Leadership Program, mental health and wellbeing initiatives, and college officer leadership development.  

 


In honor of Theta's founding in 1870, you will receive a limited-edition 1870 sticker if you give just $18.70!
