Friendship, Sisterhood, Belonging

Tri Delta was founded by women for women, when our Founders bravely created a new organization that would “think more of a woman’s inner character than her outward appearance.” In Tri Delta, you are a unique and valuable part of the whole.

We don’t want you to come here and be like us. We want you to come here and be you.
