Each month, Tri Delta publishes In Memoriam, highlighting the lives of some of our Distinguished Deltas and longtime volunteers and sharing a full list of sisters who have recently passed away. Below is the In Memoriam for May 2023.
Lilly Nichols, South Carolina
Tri Delta was saddened to learn that collegian Lilly Nichols, South Carolina, passed away unexpectedly on May 30, 2023. Lilly is remembered as determined, a hard worker, a good student and a problem solver. She always remained true to her friends, sisters and family during the good and the bad, and she was fiercely loyal and quick to correct injustices inflicted by others.
