It’s not only a chance to show off your chapter’s hard work and original ideas, but also a way to contribute to making the Tri Delta experience one to be shared among all our members. Plus, as you learn from other chapters, you’ll get a wealth of insight and ideas to take back to your own campus! 

Delta Demos is an interactive event, with conversation and Q&As among collegiate sisters. No formal presentations are required! Share and showcase any materials you’d like (e.g., marketing examples, recruitment videos, etc.) as members visit your table. If your chapter is selected, you’ll have the opportunity to submit your items and/or materials to the Member Experience Team for our review.  

We hope all our collegiate chapters will submit their ideas for Delta Demos! We encourage you to spend a little time brainstorming with outgoing officers and interested members about your ideas and your successes. Planning on what to submit, completing the Interest Form and developing any materials for at Delta Demos doesn’t have to be limited to your current officer team! This year, we hope to see more of you join in the Delta Demos process. 

If your chapter has creatively approached engaging your sisters and enhancing your time together as collegians, we want to hear about it! Let us know if you have: 

• Demonstrated a commitment to chapter and/or member growth and development 
• Embraced new approaches to chapter initiatives 
• Reworked an aspect of chapter life 
• Addressed societal issues 
• Positively impacted the lives of members 

• Influenced non-members in a meaningful way 
• Creatively addressed a challenge 
• Modified the “basics” into something meaningful 
• Honored our Founders’ vision of being “kind alike to all” 

Submissions are due by Sunday, March 3 by 11:59 p.m. CT. 

Chapters will be notified by mid-March via email from our Member Experience Team. 

Tri Delta staff members look forward to working with you and your chapter in early spring. Our goal is to provide you and your chapter with the tools and resources to ensure you can bring your best self to Delta Demos, including best practices, tips, tricks and coaching for you and your chapter. We appreciate your commitment to enhancing the Tri Delta member experience and can’t wait to work alongside our selected chapters this spring! 

Strut for St. Jude—Adelphi/Alpha Alpha : Strut for St. Jude is a philanthropy event by Alpha Alpha Chapter of Tri Delta to raise money for St. Jude and childhood cancer research. Strut for St. Jude is a fashion show where everyone across campus and other Greek orgs “Bring You” on the runway. Participants can be models and walk the runway or perform and share their talents on the runway as well! We formerly partnered with Lord & Taylor for it. It is a ticketed event that includes raffle prizes. It is usually our largest event in the spring semester.

Values Awards—South Florida/Beta Alpha: Beta Alpha does monthly Value Awards! This is an opportunity to recognize a sister for exemplifying one of our three core values: Truth, Friendship and Self-Sacrifice. Value Awards are given at the end of each month at our open chapter meetings. Recipients receive a printed certificate of their Value Award, as well as a mini bouquet and snaps from the chapter.

Semi-Formal for St. Jude – Sincerely Yours Week—Ottawa/Canada Delta: This past year we hosted our second annual Semi-Formal for St.Jude. During our Sincerely Yours week, we identified that some sisters who were faced with socioeconomic challenges had a difficult time asking their families for financial contributions as they already were struggling. In order to still contribute, we began to host a semi-formal with the proceeds going to St.Jude at the end of our letter-writing week, so that all sisters could still participate and celebrate the accomplishments of the chapter during the busy Sincerely Yours week.

Tri Delta Career Fair—Missouri/Delta Xi : Our Tri Delta Career Fair includes many alumni, community members, campus representatives or any other organization representative that is willing to come to the chapter and speak on their resource or organization to accelerate members’ career journeys. This event could be anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, with snacks and drinks included. Each organization would have a booth and any available resources or pamphlets about the company. The representatives get to talk about their organization and meet the members of Tri Delta to help network and gain that experience. It also opens up many opportunities for Tri Deltas to see which jobs they might be interested in in the future.

BE IDA: A Workshop to Ensure DEIAB Values During Recruitment—Furman/Gamma Xi : BE IDA is a workshop we hosted in preparation for formal recruitment to ensure that Tri Delta’s DEIAB values were apparent during recruitment (we rearranged the letters of DEIAB to BE IDA). To prepare for this workshop, we researched what other sororities do across the country to promote DEIAB and what current DEIAB activities exist. We met with our university’s Center for Inclusive Communities and our university’s DEI chair to get feedback and suggestions. We had multiple committee meetings to draft our workshop. As a warm-up activity, we had a Menti on the screen as the members walked in and established a set of community norms to create a safe space. Then we defined DEIAB and then explained our university’s DEI statement and how it overlaps with Tri Delta’s mission. We then transitioned into a “bumper sticker” activity which prompts members to make describe certain aspects of DEIAB in such a short way that it could fit on a bumper sticker in order to make those terms less intimidating. We then transitioned into the “identitree” activity that the LEADDD work group did. After these activities, we hosted a group discussion reflecting on what we learned about DEIAB, ourselves and what action we can take. We then explicitly laid out the do’s and don’ts of recruitment keeping in mind the things we learned about DEIAB including racism, ableism, fatphobia and religious diversity. To close out the workshop, we then created a space for questions and comments.
