“Tri Delta is extremely honored with these awards, and in particular, we are gratified for the recognition of our Reflections program. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychological disorder and are one of the most prevalent disorders found in young women. With more than 10 million women today battling an eating disorder, Tri Delta decided to take a stand and launched the Reflections: Body Image Program in response to this serious issue that affects all women,” said Jackye Brown Clark, Texas/Arlington, president of Tri Delta.
Tri Delta co-developed Reflections with Carolyn Becker, Ph.D, FAED, Clemson, of Trinity University, and the local sororities on that campus. Reflections not only reduces eating disorder risk factors and improves body image perceptions among participants, it also enables facilitators to gain valuable academic and leadership experience and promotes a more cohesive community of women on campus.
