Delta Zeta's 5th Annual TURTLE TUG 2012

This spring semester, the women of Delta Zeta held one of our philanthropy events, Turtle Tug. Through the amazing leadership of Allison King, Ashley Maskus, Erin Loth, and Heather Luedeker, we were given the opportunity to donate all of the proceeds to help the Painted Turtle Camp. The Painted Turtle Camp is a camp located in California for kids ages 7 to 16 with serious illnesses.

Turtle Tug is a competition for teams of 4 to participate in. Each team is placed in one of the three brackets: all-girls, all-boys, and co-ed. This year we had over 23 teams sign up to compete, and at the end of the day, there were three teams that won first place in their respective brackets and went home with a basket full of prizes!

All of the participants were greeted by this hand-painted banner when they arrived the day of the competition

Our wonderful philanthropy chair, Jessica, excited for all of the festivities to start!

Everyone's favorite part of a tug-of-war competition: the green jello

Our very own Delta Zeta team ended up placing 2nd overall in the girl's bracket! Way to go "Ninja Turtles"!

It wouldn't be a successful event unless someone left covered head-to-toe in jello!

Special thanks to our Turtle Tug chairs Ashley, Erin, Heather, and Allison! Y'all were awesome and you made this event such a success!
