Message from Zeta Rho’s Philanthropy Chair on Philanthropy in Nashville:

At Vanderbilt Alpha Delta Pi, we value the power of giving back to our community.  That’s why we are committed to philanthropy in many different ways. Ronald McDonald House Charities is ADPi’s national philanthropy, meaning that sisters all over the country work to support this incredible organization.  We are lucky enough to have a Ronald McDonald House (RMH) located just down the street, in close proximity to the Vanderbilt Monroe Carell Children’s Hospital. Families stay there while their children receive important care, and we have the opportunity to make their stay a little bit brighter.  Whether our sisters are spending time in the kitchen, cooking dinner and making dessert, or working together on site at the Nashville Ronald McDonald House, we contribute to making the RMH truly feel like a “home-away-from-home” for those in need. We also hold exciting fundraisers that engage the entire Vanderbilt and wider Nashville community to help support the important work of the RMH.  Sisters can be found flipping pancakes at our annual ADPiHop in the spring or running in our Ronald McDonald 5k in the fall, all with the goal of raising funds and awareness for such an important organization, right in our own neighborhood!
