Just because your college days are behind you doesn't mean you must break ties with the Tri Delta experiences that shaped your life in school. Tri Delta’s perpetual bond of friendship means you can continue to surround yourself with women who are committed to the values of truth, self-sacrifice and friendship. Alumnae membership can also provide opportunities for leadership, mentoring, community service and personal growth and development.
Your needs are changing, and with that in mind, we've developed an array of resources and programs to help you stay connected to Tri Delta as an alumnae member.
HISTORY OF ALUMNAE CHAPTERS
In 1892, the alumnae of Delta Delta Delta formed as association called the Alpha Alliance of Delta Delta Delta. The purpose of this association was to unite the alumnae from Alpha Chapter at Boston University to perpetuate their interest in Delta Delta Delta, and in Alpha Chapter in particular. The first Convention in 1893 authorized the alumnae degree, now known as the Circle Degree. Each year, thousands of Tri Delta collegians become alumnae and continue their journey of lifetime membership in Tri Delta. Today, Tri Delta alumnae number more than 145,000, and Tri Delta has more than 350 active alumnae chapters across the United States and Canada.
