2. SHAMROCK….. Helping America prevent child abuse

3. About Shamrock Around the month of March, every Kappa Delta chapter in the country holds a Shamrock event. Profits from these events are donated to Kappa Delta's national and local philanthropies. Gamma Mu has hosted a flag football tournament for the past 10 years, raising over $80,000 for national philanthropies, as well as our local philanthropies, Lowndes County Department of Family and Children Services and the Methodist Children's Home of Lowndes County. Gamma Mu’s football tournament is the largest and most profitable single-sorority fundraiser at VSU. Click on the banner to see pictures of Gamma Mu's 2004 Shamrock Project.
