St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
In 1999 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Today, our collegiate members play a critical role in our fundraising for St. Jude with campus events such as Delta Dodgeball, D-Hop and Delta Desserts. Our alumnae chapters support local and regional children’s hospitals and pediatric cancer initiatives across North America and we partner together to support St. Jude’s Walk/Run and Memphis Marathon by forming teams, raising money and volunteering at these events.

Tri Delta loves St. Jude
Raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is truly our chapter’s passion. Our sisterhood is strengthened by working together to hold fun events and fundraisers to benefit the children who are treated at St. Jude or who benefit from its research. During the 2018-2019 school year, our chapter raised over $75,000 for the hospital, making us the top Tri Delta fundraising chapter of our size. We were also honored with the Tri Delta & St. Jude Chapter of the Year Award! This award recognizes the top Tri Delta chapter that had the best well-rounded support of St. Jude throughout the year including fundraising events, chapter education activities, campus and community awareness efforts, and dollars raised. This summer, 30 women from our chapter had the opportunity to visit St. Jude’s main campus in Memphis, Tennessee. It’s so amazing to be able to see Tri Delta’s positive impact firsthand. We are excited to continue our fundraising efforts to help the children of St. Jude in the coming years!
