It's not just four years, it's for life.

When You Become A Tri Delta
Sarah Darrell

Before recruitment started I had no idea what I was getting myself into. All of the rumors I heard about sororities were running through my mind and I felt like it was nothing but a group of girls who take photos and party. Looking back at that now it is the complete opposite of what I thought it was. Tri Delta has brought so much happiness into my life. Not only has it brought me seventy other sisters, but life long friends and soon to be bridesmaids. It taught me to step out of my comfort zone and to experience new things. It taught me how to be strong for others and myself. Tri Delta means so much to me and when you become one you will feel the same thing.

There are triangles everywhere…you become obsessed with our Greek symbol, the Delta. Before you know it your clothes, blankets, phone cases, even shoes will have Deltas on them.


The pansy becomes more than just a flower.


Tuesday becomes your favorite day of the week…we love Tuesdays even more because it gives us a reason to post any Tri Delta photo we want #TriDeltaTuesday


Sarah Ida Shaw becomes your best friend…and the rest of the women who founded Tri Delta. We were the first women’s fraternity to be founded as a national organization.


Tennessee is no longer just Tennessee…it is where St. Jude is! Tri Delta’s philanthropy is childhood cancer research and we're partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our most recent commitment was $60 million in ten years. St. Jude also has a short-term housing facility for families called the Tri Delta Place. We were named partner of the year in 2014.


Poseidon is your homeboy…he is the God of the sea and the Greek divinity of Tri Delta.


You will become obsessed with our motto…Let Us Steadfastly Love One Another


You can never go anywhere without throwing what you know…did you even go on vacation if you didn’t take a photo of you throwing the Delta up?



Most importantly when you become a Tri Delta…you’ll have a life long bond with your sisters even when you are out of college.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
