The national service partner of Delta Kappa Alpha is the SeriousFun Children's Network, founded by Paul Newman, which offers healthy and active camps and programs for families and children facing serious illnesses. Our local chapter of SeriousFun is The Painted Turtle Camp located in Lake Hughes, CA.

Zeta Chapter works not only with the Painted Turtle, but also with local organizations around Chapman. In recent years, we have engaged in service opportunities with the YMCA and Boys & Girls Club of Orange and continue to hold close relationships with these organizations. Zeta Chapter has also worked with the Aviva Center, a non-profit organization that helps at-risk emotionally neglected and abused girls.
