Tri Delta was founded because, although there were three sororities already at Boston University in 1888, Sarah Ida Shaw didn't find what she was looking for in any of them. She wanted a sorority that would "be kind alike to all and think more of a girl's inner self and character than of her personal appearance." She and Eleanor Dorcas Pond chose the name, wrote all the rituals and picked the symbols by themselves. While we consider the organization to have four founders, those two did most of the original "establishing" of the group.
