Delta Zeta: Kappa Xi Chapter

Our Philanthropy...

is the Speech and Hearing Impaired, founded at Gallaudet University. Our sisters are constantly trying to raise money for our philanthropy and other good causes. We hold our annual Turtle Bowl to raise money for the speech and hearing impaired. Also, at every meeting a collection is taken to sponsor two girls from South America.

BEATITUDES FOR FRIENDS OF THE DEAF

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO SEEM TO KNOW
THAT LIP-READING IS HARD AND SLOW.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO SHAKE MY HAND
AND WRITE NOTES TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO KNOW THAT I LONG
TO HEAR VOICES, MUSIC AND SONG.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO SEEM TO SEE
WHEN I'M LOST IN A GROUP OF TWO OR THREE.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO TAKE TIME OUT
TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO ARE PATIENT AND KIND,
THAT GIVES ME COMFORT AND PEACE OF MIND.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO HAVE A SMILE
THAT MAKES MY LIFE MORE WORTH-WHILE.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO MAKE IT KNOWN
BY FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISES; I'LL NOT WALK ALONE.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO UNDERSTAND
AS I JOURNEY TO THAT CITY "NOT MADE WITH HANDS."
