Information for Parents

For more than 100 years, Tri Delta has been providing a home away from home for our members, and a place for them to live, learn and lead – with Purpose – for a lifetime. 

We welcome parents and family, of both our newest Tri Deltas and interested collegiate women, to get a glimpse into membership in Tri Delta. The publication below lets you follow along and see “what to expect” from the Tri Delta sorority experience today and beyond. You will learn about our transformational collegiate chapter programming, leadership opportunities, our passion for serving others through philanthropy and ways you can connect and engage with your Tri Delta during their membership. Read more here

Tri Psi Mothers’ Sorority 

For 105 years, Tri Delta has been the only sorority to have a Greek letter sorority for their mothers. Our mothers’ organization, Tri Psi, consists of dedicated mothers that come together each year to support their Tri Deltas and assist our members in every possible way. Tri Psi awards $5,000 low-interest rate loans to Tri Delta members receiving or pursuing graduate degrees, and $1,000 undergraduate scholarships to selected members entering their junior year. To learn more about Tri Psi, visit tripsisorority.com

Greetings new SMU Tri Delta Moms!  Congratulations on your Tri Delta daughter!

Mothers' Club was founded in 1939 and has supported the young women of SMU Tri Delta for almost 80 years. We concentrate our efforts on SMU Tri Deltas, our mothers, and SMU activities. We have a dual purpose:  helping the chapter with extra needs--financial, material, volunteer and provide our moms all from all across the United States, an avenue to get to know one another, socialize and have fun!

SMU Tri Delta Mothers' Club sponsors and plans these activities for our Moms, Dads and daughters:

  • Fall Family Weekend Meet & Greet at the house
  • Snacks or meals at the Homecoming float pomp site
  • Work Week or Recruitment Week meal for our girls
  • Bid Day “Moms on the Lawn”
  • Moms’ and Dads’ Weekend event
  • Gifts for our wonderful staff-Miss Tammy, Chef Freda, Laura and Esther


We would love to get 100% participation from our parents to join the Mothers’ Club. In an effort to keep this simple, you may just click, https://www.dallasdeltas.com/smu-mothers-club/,  to join! If you have already joined, but want to contribute, you may click https://www.dallasdeltas.com/smu-mothers-club/! We wish to continue the wonderful traditions that the Mothers’ Club has done in the past and give the girls additional support where they’ve asked for it. Please consider a donation as we hope to provide more services rather than stuff. If you prefer snail mail and writing a check, we have that option too! Click here for the form, https://files.constantcontact.com/78fcf3a6301/f7bcc0fe-a919-4413-a6e9-a1399ba6906e.pdf!

Delta Love and Pony Up!
