Tri Delta’s Endowment Celebration at St. Jude
On May 23, 2005, three years of hard work from Tri Delta’s collegians and alumnae culminated in an endowment celebration at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis Tennessee. Tri Delta’s elected leaders and representatives from the top three fund-raising collegiate chapters gathered in the St. Jude atrium for presentation of a check for $1,367, 561.67.

Thanks to the funds raised through the diligence of Tri Deltas everywhere, St. Jude is able to provide the equipment, general supplies and staff necessary to make the new Teen Room a fun, relaxing and therapeutic environment for teen patients.
