$7.8 Million in three years!!
 

Hello everyone. I'm going to toot my own horn for a minute, but I am extremely proud of my sorority right now.

I don't know how many of you have heard about Tri Deltas partnership with St. Jude, but is a beautiful thing. Orginally the goal was to raise $1 million in 5 years. It was done in three.
Tri Delta then decided to raised $10 million in 10 years. That was three years ago. As of July 2009, we've raised $7.8 million. I have never been so proud and honored to be part of an organization. Snaps for all of the DDD's on greek chat!

That's wonderful news! Congratulations!

Pretty cool! Nice work!

Wow! Good work ladies!

That is just awesome. Congratulations!

Nicely done Tri-Delta!

Congrats! What a fabulous accomplishment.

Excerpts from ^^:

Tri Delts do it for St. Jude

The women of the Delta Delta Delta fraternity gave themselves 10 years to raise $10 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

They did it in four.

They wrote letters, hosted softball tournaments, golf tournaments, pancake breakfasts and other events.
St. Jude named a floor of the Chili's Care Center for them and their efforts.

. . . The group has raised $12 million for the hospital since it adopted the hospital as its philanthropic partner in 1999.

Hahah I am! I was actually at work when I found out a few weeks ago and was crying. My coworkers think I'm crazy.


It's funny that you posted this today because Tri Delta actually announced our next project, raising $15mil in the next five years. The Speciality Center is going to be named for us.

They're calling it "15M by 2015"
