To the Potential New Members:

Hi ladies!

On behalf of the Epsilon Pi chapter of Delta Delta Delta, I would like to formally welcome you to Louisiana Tech University. We are so excited to have you join the Tech family, and we are even more thrilled that you have chosen to participate in formal sorority recruitment! Formal recruitment is just the beginning of an incredibly fulfilling journey that will carry far past your college career – this is a journey that will last for a lifetime.

As a founding member of the Epsilon Pi chapter and now chapter president, I can personally attest to the number of positive ways my decision to become a Tri Delta woman has affected my life. My membership has fostered so much personal growth and exposed me to a number of leadership opportunities, and I have met many incredible women who build me up daily and have shaped me into the person I am today. It is both amazing and overwhelmingly encouraging to me that I have the privilege to be a part of such a diverse group of women who continually supports each other and strives to live out our open motto, “Let us steadfastly love one another”.

Tri Delta is an organization founded by women to provide opportunities for women to live, learn, and lead, with purpose, for a lifetime. Over 16,000 collegians and 200,000 alumnae across the United States – and Canada – make up our amazing network of sisters today. Tri Delta supports local children’s cancer charities, and stands as one of the most significant contributors to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In 2014, Tri Delta made the single largest fundraising pledge in St. Jude’s history – to raise $60 million in 10 years for the hospital. Today, just three and a half years into our commitment, we are already more than halfway there! In our first year on campus, our chapter alone raised over $20,000 for St. Jude through our single largest fundraiser, Sincerely Yours, a letter-writing campaign to raise money for St. Jude. Our inaugural pancake fundraiser, “DHOP”, was rolled out last fall, and we are well on our way to passing up the $20,000 we raised last spring by the end of this summer!

When Sarah Ida Shaw founded Tri Delta in 1888 at Boston University, she said “Let us found a society that shall be kind alike to all, and think more of a girl’s inner self and character than of her personal appearance”. This has evolved into Tri Delta’s slogan “Bring You”. Our slogan reflects one of our organization’s ultimate goals, which is to develop women into the best versions of themselves. We desire to see our members be fully themselves and each bring their own unique traits and ideas to the table.

The Epsilon Pi chapter, installed at Louisiana Tech on December 9, 2016, has continued to exemplify diversity and our commitment to “live, learn and lead with purpose”, not only as a collective chapter, but also as individuals. Our chapter is home to women from all over the country who are studying in a number of different majors. Outside of Tri Delta, our members are involved in a variety of other organizations, including Tech Leadership Council, Order of Omega, Union Board, Regal Blues, Student Recruiters, College Ambassadors, Bulldog Belles, and various other professional organizations, honor societies, and college-specific clubs and organizations. In addition, a number of our members serve in leadership positions in their respective organizations. No matter what corner of campus you are in, you are sure to find a Tri Delta sister somewhere!

As Tri Delta women, we are a part of a powerful bond that stretches across the globe and truly lasts for a lifetime. I hope that through the recruitment process you are able to find your home away from home, where you discover the kind of sisterhood and connection that I and so many women have found with Tri Delta – a sisterhood that empowers you to grow into the best version of yourself, celebrates you, and offers you an abundance of steadfast love.

We wish you the most memorable college years, and we cannot wait to meet you!

Delta Love,

Landry Seimears

President
