Ruth Billow


The Ruth Billow Memorial Fund was created to honor Ruth Billow, Eta-Akron (pictured to the left). Blinded in a childhood accident, Ruth was instrumental in the adoption of Work for the Blind as the Delta Gamma international philanthropy project. This fund offers educational grants and personal aid grants to Delta Gamma members. The fund gives special consideration to members who are blind or visually impaired. The fund also offers scholarships and fellowships to Delta Gammas pursuing degrees in the field of sight preservation or assistance to persons who are blind or visually impaired.
