Philanthropy

Tri Delta has raised more than $75 million for St. Jude since 1999, and as a result of our latest pledge, St. Jude to named its short-term housing facility on the St. Jude campus Tri Delta Place.

Why Our Members Chose Tri Delta

Skylar Raymond

"I went Tri Delta because I wanted to find lifelong friends in college and have a home away from home. I stayed because not only have I made some of my best friends, but I am surrounded with women who inspire me and support me every single day. The moment I walked into the Tri Delta house, I was instantly greeted with smiles and since joining the house, I get that same warm greeting every time I come home."

Ainslee Evans

"I joined Tri-Delta last fall through formal recruitment and I joined because it was the first house I felt fully comfortable letting my guard down and being my true self. Every chapter was great, but on the third day when I walked out of Tri Delta, I just knew that it was going to be my home. The girls were so raw and real, they made me feel like I had known them forever and on bid day it still felt the same. Going Tri Delta has been the best part about college and all of my sisters support me inside and outside of school. Tri-delta became my home the first time I stepped in it and it will stay my home even after I graduate. It truly has brought me my best friends, my best memories, and my favorite people!"

Taylor Hahn

“I went Tridelta because it was the place during recruitment where I had the most laughs and felt so accepted. Moving away from home and my family, my biggest worry was that there weren’t going to be people like me and those who challenge me. I couldn’t be more wrong. Tridelta is my home away from home, and is filled with the people I want to come home and see every day! My sisters are my best friends and are so supportive in all my endeavors, even pushing me to be more than I ever thought I could be."

Nicole Stampke

"I went Tri Delta because of the women in the sisterhood who always make me feel loved and valued. The empowering women I am constantly surrounded by and their dedication to reach their goals have caused me to work harder and strive to be a better person. These women inspired me from the first day of recruitment and have continued to do so in the years I have been in the house. College is a difficult time, and these women have always been there to help me through everything. Whether it’s a rough day, losing a family member, or helping on a project, there is always a sister who has helped me through my college journey. Tri Delta has given me my best friends and women that I will always be able to count on. Without Tri Delta, I don’t believe I would be the woman I am today, and I will be forever grateful to every woman in this house. DLAM!"

Saloni Khetan

"As an International student, I never really thought or knew anything about Greek until I started the college. However, I went greek because I wanted to be part of a home and a family. I wanted to meet people who are different in their own way but also share same kindness and willingness to help others. I stayed because Tri Delta has helped me grow in different aspects of my personal and professional life and surrounded me by people I love and look upto."
