I'm here! But I think I'm one of the few other Tri Delts that post here. For some reason, even though we're one of the biggest NPC sororities, there's almost none of us posting here. I really wish our board was as active as some of the other ones, but with only a couple people here it's tough.
I'm Heather, from the Mu chapter at the University of Wisconsin. It's been in continuous existence for over a hundred years -- since 1898! I think that is really cool, to think of all the history behind it. At chapter, our secretary sometimes reads us the notes from chapter meetings from the 1920s or 1950s. It's funny to realize how much of it is so different and how much of it is exactly the same.
I'll be a junior this fall. I rushed in the fall of 2002, when I was a sophomore. I transferred from the University of Minnesota, and I was thinking of rushing while I was there, but I was glad I waited till I transferred because otherwise, I probably wouldn't be a Tri Delt. I'm majoring in creative writing and Italian. I'm living in the house this year, which I'm really excited about.
We have a big old white house with three stories. Unlike the dorms, it really feels like a home -- all the rooms have their own personalities. The cutest part is the bathrooms -- when they were re-done a couple years ago, the decorator made them Tri Delta themed. It's all blue and silver, there are triangle-shaped tiles (like Deltas!), and there's three of everything (showers, sinks).
(I used to run XC in high school! Yay runners!)
Favorite things about Tri Delta:
(Nationally) I LOVE our symbols, colors, mascot, flower, all the superficial things. I remember last summer before I rushed, I was looking at all the national sorority websites, and I remember loving Tri Delta's symbols even then. If I had to pick a sorority on symbols/colors/mascot, I would be either a Tri Delt, and Alpha Xi Delta, or a Pi Phi. And I think our pin is really pretty.
I love how strong Tri Delta is nationally, too. I see people on this board saying things like, "I've never seen a weak Tri Delt chapter," and I think that's really cool.
(In my chapter) I love how much diversity there is in terms of personalities. We have the girls who party, the girls who study, the beauty queens, the athletes, the leaders . . . we have everything. And we all get along! That was one of the things I loved during rush -- when we had house tours, I went from one room, where there was a poster of a hot Abercrombie boy, to another where there was a poster of Mason Jennings (an indie/folk singer from Minnesota). Every bedroom that I saw obviously belonged to a girl with a completely unique personality.
Least favorite thing: Going to weekly chapter meeting. The house was a mile away from my dorm, so every Monday night after a long day of class, I had to trek a mile (uphill!) to the house, sit through a long meeting, and go the mile home before I could even start my homework.
Oh yeah, and I'm an insomniac, which explains why I'm posting this at 3:30 in the morning.
Why is our board dead?
