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.

Chapter History
Heather Cox Thomas and Lisa Diskin got the ball rolling in spring of 2005 to create a Fredericksburg alumnae chapter of Delta Delta Delta. The options for sisters living from Dale City all the way down to Massaponax were slim. They had to travel more than an hour to get to Northern Virginia or an hour south to Richmond. The idea for an alumnae chapter came out of necessity rather than convenience.
Heather contacted the Executive Office and received a list of sisters in the area. 300 letters were sent in June of 2005 to area Tri Deltas and the response was overwhelming. We had our inaugural meeting in September 2005 and welcomed 26 dues paying members for the 2005-06 year.
We offer exciting activities throughout the year and would love for you to join us! Feel free to contact any of the officers via email.
