About Tri Delta

Tri Delta was founded by women, for women, in 1888 at Boston University when our Founders bravely created a new organization that would “think more of a woman’s inner character than her outward appearance.” Their vision has grown into the dynamic women’s organization we know today.

Today, Tri Delta is a network of nearly 250,000 women, and we are committed to lifelong learning through educational initiatives, transformational programming and relevant personal and professional development.

From supporting Tri Delta’s Foundation—which empowers collegiate and alumnae members through transformational programs, scholarships and emergency financial support—to supporting the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and local children’s cancer charities, Tri Deltas are passionate about serving others.

About Our Chapter

Originally founded in 1987, our chapter was restarted and regrown in 2023 by a passionate and dedicated group of women. Our chapter is a mixture of women local to the area, transplants that have made Philly their home, ladies from the greater Philadelphia area, and sisters that are looking for a chapter for a few years as they work on graduate degrees. Our chapter is open and welcoming to all Tri Deltas, no matter where you came from, how and when you joined, or how involved you'd like to be. Check the membership page to learn more about joining!
