Philanthropy
WE LOVE ST. JUDE!
In November 1999, Delta Delta Delta sorority officially adopted St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as its national philanthropic partner. Since that time, TriDelta chapters across the country have raised money and awareness for the hospital in a variety of ways. TriDelta chapters nationwide have not only donated 3.5 million dollars to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the last few years but have also pledged to raise ten million dollars over the next ten years. TriDeltas at Willam and Mary raise thousands of dollars every year through our philanthropies. This past November, we hosted our first ever Tri Delta Turkey Trot 5k. We had over 300 registered runners and raised $5,515. In the spring we host Delta Blues BBQ, a picnic in April with tons of food, music, and games. Our own sisters took control of the grills and all the other goodies were baked and prepared by sisters as well. Students, fraternaties, sports organizations, even a few faculty come out and participate to raise money for this great cause. TriDelta's also brought Up Til Dawn to campus in 2001 which unites faculty, staff, students, the surrounding community and sponsors in a goal to help the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It has grown considerably and is not affiliated with any greek organizations. Teams include organizations, greek organizations, freshmen halls, sports teams, and many others.
