About Tri Delta

Tri Delta was founded by women, for women, in 1888 at Boston University when our Founders bravely created a new organization that would “think more of a woman’s inner character than her outward appearance.” Their vision has grown into the dynamic women’s organization we know today.

Today, Tri Delta is a network of nearly 250,000 women, and we are committed to lifelong learning through educational initiatives, transformational programming and relevant personal and professional development.

From supporting Tri Delta’s Foundation—which empowers collegiate and alumnae members through transformational programs, scholarships and emergency financial support—to supporting the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and local children’s cancer charities, Tri Deltas are passionate about serving others.

About Our Chapter

The Delta Delta Delta chapter at The Ohio State University has long been an important part of the university’s Greek life community. Known as the Nu Chapter of Tri Delta, the chapter is part of the national Delta Delta Delta sorority, which was founded in 1888 at Boston University with a mission centered on friendship, leadership, and service. Tri Delta has maintained a strong presence at Ohio State since 1896, recently celebrating 130 years on OSU’s campus. Our chapter is also widely recognized for its philanthropy efforts, especially its support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where members raise thousands of dollars annually through fundraising events and community involvement. Today, the Tri Delta Nu Chapter remains known for its strong sisterhood, campus leadership, and long-standing traditions within Ohio State’s Panhellenic community.
