Chapter Philanthropy and Service

 

Tri Delta’s commitment to raising funds for worthy causes goes back many years. Tri Delta has partnered nationally with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and has raised over $30 million since 1999!

Today, Tri Delta is working towards a goal of raising $60 million in 10 years.  This contribution will support the Specialty Clinic located in the Patient Care Center at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The Specialty Clinic houses a broad range of services for St. Jude patients. At some point during their care at St. Jude, children will likely be referred to a clinic within the Specialty Clinic.

In the past year, the Theta Kappa chapter has raised over $100,000 for St. Jude, making us a top donor for a chapter of our size. The majority of our fundraising comes from events such as Tri Delta Triple Play or Delta Dodgeball, Delta's Candy Bar, and the Sincerely Yours letter writing campaign.

Delta Dodgeball (or Tri Delta Triple Play, as it has been previously called) is our annual sports tournament between organizations on campus. These organizations range from religious groups to other members of the Greek community. Tri Deltas coach each team and everyone who participates brings their best game in order to raise money for St. Jude. Some healthy competition, friends, free food, music, and sunshine…what’s not to love?

Delta's Candy Bar is a philanthropy event in the fall in which we host fellow students and friends for sweet treats like cookies, candy, and cake. Those who attend purchase a ticket (all of the proceeds from which benefit St. Jude) and spend the afternoon snacking and socializing. 

Sincerely Yours is a letter writing campaign that takes place in the spring. This campaign encourages Tri Delta members to write to their friends and family requesting they make a donation to St. Jude. Sincerely Yours is one of our greatest sources of fundraising.

All of us at Theta Kappa are so proud to contribute to Tri Delta's philanthropic commitment and we hope that you will join us in helping the children of St. Jude!
