The Ivy and Pearl Affair
The Ivy and Pearl Affair (TIPA) is our annual charity ball. The ball is a fun way to contribute to the community service endeavors of Theta Zeta Omega. Our fundraising efforts help us implement programs that benefit our local community and it also provides
us with the ability to issue scholarships to deserving youth.

TIPA Impact
TIPA is a grand celebration brimming with joy and festivities. The evening's enjoyment is intricately woven with a good cause, as funds raised by our members and the Royal Court are directed back into the community. With the help of scholarships and community-based projects, this powerful cycle aims to have an effect that lasts beyond the magic of the night and helps everyone on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
In order to increase TIPA's impact and the reach of our community programs, we are happy to accept sponsorships from companies and people who share our desire to make the world a better place. Locally, our chapter has been a strong supporter of the community for more than 50 years. We have worked to end childhood hunger and have helped the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, Back Bay Mission Food Pantries, and Gulf Coast seniors. We also help by holding ACT workshops and giving gift cards to local high school students to use for career readiness training. As a way to show its appreciation, our chapter has given over $75,000 in scholarships to high school seniors and given $25,000 to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
