Our Deltas-only events give us a chance to relax and bond with our sisters in the house. We have Open Doors Nights, Pine Party (with a secret snowflake gift exchange and gingerbread house decorating), Valentine’s Day cookie decorating, and so much more.
Bria: TriDelta is more than just an amazing group of women, of friends; it is truly a home where I have discovered some of the most meaningful people in my life.
Jess: More than anything, Tridelta means support and inspiration. It doesn’t matter if I am having the worst day or the best day, my sisters are always there to listen and support me. They also inspire me to explore different possibilities because they are so excited about life.
Ashley: As corny and cliche as it sounds, Tridelta means “family” to me. No matter how well or unwell I may know my sisters, there is an obvious yet unspoken bond between us. It’s a bond of familiarity, understanding, and friendship. I would never feel awkward or uncomfortable around any of the girls - they’ve seen me at my best as well as my worst. The fact that we’re all in this thing together automatically breaks down any barriers between us. I think the inhibitions and pretense that normally surround meeting new people are minimized simply because we’re “Tridelts.” One of the best things about being in this sorority is that not living in the house hasn’t compromised my relationship with the girls at all. I still feel just as at home at Tridelt now as when I was an actual resident. And it’s not because I’m just familiar with the house itself - the house is just a building. I feel at home because the girls ARE my home.
Fabianna: I never imagined I would be entering such an inspiring community of women when I decided to rush, or that TriDelt would become such a significant aspect of my Stanford experience. Since joining as a sophomore, I’ve found that I’ve discovered just the kind of support and love that I was looking for since stepping onto campus. Every individual has something different to offer, and I know I can depend on my sisters for all things that may arise - whether it is relationship advice or academic advice, a shopping buddy or a study buddy... and everything in between. Just as important has been the contribution I have found myself making to the community. Through the encouragement and confidence I have received from my sisters, I have challenged myself to become more involved on campus. They have also positively affected my personal growth - with their influences and unconditional support, I am proud of the person I’m becoming. I can honestly say that at this point in my life, I am happier than ever.
Raquel: To me Tridelta means family. There is nothing quite like coming back to the university and feeling that I am truly going home. It’s not just coming home in terms of coming back to the house, it’s coming home as in coming back to the people I unconditionally love. These are the girls I admire. The girls I look up to. And the girls that push me everyday to become a better person than I ever thought possible. I am truly grateful to call these girls my family, and I am so proud to know they call me their sister.
Beth: Have you ever met a woman your age who you admired, who truly inspired you to become a better person - to be more considerate, to be bolder, to fight harder for what you want, to be more gracious and thankful for what you have? Honestly, I hadn’t until I pledged Tridelta. Living in Tridelt is this exhilarating experience where your sisters simultaneously love you for exactly who you are and yet push you to grow and be better. Every day I spend in this house stands as a testament to something I once truly doubted, but now whole-heartedly believe: there are (at least) a few awesomely loyal and inspirational women our age out there. The outside world calls them Tridelts. I’m unbelievably lucky to call them my sisters.
