As many of you know, Florida Southern College will be getting a new sorority this fall. This sorority is Tri Delta.
But, who is Tri Delta?
Tri Delta is one of the biggest and oldest sororities to date. They have chapters at 139 different college campuses, and this year they will be starting chapters at five college campuses, including our own.
Tri Delta's philanthropy is St. Jude, which is a children's research hospital. All members across the United States (and Canada) raise money for St. Jude's in various ways. Some fundraising events include DHOP (Delta house of pancakes), sending out care packages to patients at the hospitol, and through sports competitions.
Along with helping out their philanthropy, Tri Delta will also hope to partner with a women's organization to promote a healthy and positive body image. They have a program called "Body Image 3D" which promotes students to have a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
The new member class will also choose a service activity to give back to the local community.
Tri Delta has three prominent values: truth, self sacrifice, and friendship. Because this will be a new chapter on campus, they are also searching for strong leaders to help lead the new classes.
Because Tri Delta is starting this fall, they will be doing their recruitment process a little differently than the other sororities.
Just before fall break (October 10-13) they will be having an information table on campus near the Buck Stop. You will be able to ask questions about the sorority, as well as recieve snacks and Tri Delta swag.
Then, from October 11-12th there will be information sessions at the Thrift Alumni building.
The official recruitment week begins after fall break from October 24-29th. The first three days are the "Consultation" days, and will consist of informal interviews. You sign up for your date and time when you sign up for recruitment. Next, on October 26th there will be an information presentation that will Tri Delta's philanthropy and Body Image 3D program. The last night of recruitment will be on October 28th, and is invite only. October 29th is Bid Day.
All of greek life is invited to help Tri Delta celebrate their Bid Day!
