Philanthropy

    Our National Philanthropy is Children's Cancer Charities. In 1999, Tri Delta's Executive Board formally announced a philanthropic partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; therefore, a large portion of the money we raise will go to the children at St. Jude.  In 2001, we hosted our first Tri-Delta Triple Play.  Triple Play is a softball tournament that includes teams formed by Wofford students and faculty. It is a great opportunity to interact with other organizations and raise money for St. Jude simultaneously.  Our fraternity holds several events each year in order to raise money; Sincerely Yours letters are sent out to family and friends for donations, name-brand-jeans are sold on campus during Charity Denim, sisters walk around the Relay for Life track until the break or dawn, and teacher competitions are held in which the teacher with the most raised money must kiss our terrier mascot (Smooch the Pooch). Through these events during the academic year, our chapter alone raised $21,517, all of which will go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  Our service to our Philanthropy also extends beyond Woffor College. Several of our sisters have visited and volunteered at St. Jude during the summer or Interim, and they have enhanced our fraternity's purpose in helping the kids at St. Jude. The walls of the hospital are covered with murals, and we are proud there is one thanking the members of Delta Delta Delta.
