Summary
Delta Delta Delta was founded on February 27th, 1893 at Boston University. Eta Chapter was founded in 1896 at the University of Vermont. Tri Delta is the only organization at UVM that does not assess, meaning that there is only one payment for each semester and it includes payment for t-shirts, formals, and any other extra payments that are needed. Our national philanthropy is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In working with other Tri Delta chapters across the country, we have pledged to raise $15 million dollars by 2015. There is a Tri Delta sponsored Teen Room at St. Jude in Memphis, TN.
Each member is considered either a pearl, a pine, or a pansy depending on which stage in their membership they are. The pearl symbolizes our new members, because it grows as they mature within the chapter. The Pine symbolizes our collegiate members. As the pine grows it represents aspirations that are shown in each of our collegiate members. And finally, the pansy, which is Tri Delta's flower represents the alumnae and the continuous membership that each person has in Delta Delta Delta. Our colors are cerulean blue, silver, and gold.
Eta Chapter values the importance of service, scholarship, sisterhood, and the development of strong character.
Mission

Organization Facts
Delta Delta Delta was founded by Sarah Ida Shaw, Eleanor Dorcas Pond, Florence Isabelle Stewart, and Isabel Morgan Breed in 1888 and began as an organization concerned with the growth and development of the college woman and has evolved into a leader among sororities. Tri Delta's founders were young women of great vision; the organization has been national in concept from its inception. Less than three years after its founding, Tri Delta was recognized as an established national organization and was invited to participate in the first panhellenic meeting.
