Letter from the Chapter

Hi everyone, welcome to the Tri Delta, Gamma Rho chapter at Pepperdine University!

My name is Samantha Wareing, and I feel beyond grateful to serve as the Vice President of Membership Experience and lead our chapter through this year’s recruitment! I can’t wait for our new members to experience the warm and transformational experience that being part of this sisterhood is. These women inspire me to lead and to be brave, bold and kind. 

 

If you are on this page, you’re likely considering going through formal recruitment. Formal recruitment can definitely be overwhelming, but I hope you can also find the joy in meeting so many new people, some of whom may be your sisters! I was in your shoes a couple of years ago. The prospect of going through the recruitment process was something that sounded overwhelming, but I also leaned into the things I was excited about. I was excited to meet new people and make friends. I was excited to join a sisterhood that I could lead in someday. More than anything, I was excited to find community in a group of women who inspire me. I found all of these things in this beautiful sisterhood, founded on values of truth, self-sacrifice and friendship. 

 

In Tri Delta, you will find a diverse community of women that prioritizes its three-pronged philanthropy aiming to find a cure for childhood cancer through St. Jude and Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. You will find a sisterhood that prioritizes its mental health initiatives and connection to the Pepperdine Panhellenic community. This is a sisterhood full of women who are genuine, kind, loving, passionate and resilient. Within this sisterhood, I have found women who feel like family away from home. I have found my bridesmaids and support system.

 

I encourage you to lean into the things that you’re looking forward to in this experience. I encourage you to pinpoint what it is that you want in a sisterhood. I can speak on behalf of my sisters in saying that we can’t wait to meet you and we can’t wait to welcome our new members with open arms! 

Best wishes and Delta Love, 

Sam

Vice President of Member Experience
