 Denver Alumnae Chapter Scholarship Please click here to access the scholarship application. In spring 2011 the Denver Alumnae Chapter of Delta Zeta Sorority established an annual fundraiser with the purpose of creating a scholarship fund for the women of the Rho Chapter. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist individual women with sorority expenses in emergency situations. Women may request up to $250 at one time and initiated members are eligible to receive the scholarship only one time. We hope to be able to increase the amount of scholarship money in this fund in the future.
