About Delta Queen

What is Delta Queen?

In 2008, the members of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity at Chapman University started Delta Queen, an annual philanthropic pageant benefiting a non-profit organization in the Orange County area. Each Greek chapter on campus nominates and supports one contestant to compete for the title of Miss Delta Queen, a responsibility that upholds the spirit of philanthropy and the vision of Delta Queen. Contestants participate in talent showcase, personality walk, Greek spirit section, and question-and-answer segments, but strive to achieve their ultimate goal of increasing awareness and support for our adopted non-profit organization.

It is Delta Queen's mission to strengthen the community by inspiring university students and the local community to be philanthropic in service and fundraising. We make it our responsibility to carry out the mission of our beneficiary, in hopes that we too can increase awareness and support for their cause.

Beckstrand cancer foundation

Beckstrand Cancer Foundation is a not-for-profit organization based in Newport Beach, California, set out to improve and enhance the lives of cancer patients and their families through financial assistance, patient advocacy, and many other resources to lessen the stress a cancer diagnosis causes.

Beckstrand is doing amazing things in the Orange and Los Angeles Counties, and has gained a large amount of national recognition and support through consistent outreach and assistance from their National Spokesperson, and CSI star, Eva La Rue. The continued success of Beckstrand is dependent on the increased support from donors and advocates in Beckstrand's many events including, The Hope and Harmony 5K, The Teddy Bear Ball benefiting the Mini Pearls of Beckstrand, and, of course, The Diamond and Pearl Ball 2010, which raised $1.1 million.
