Delta Delta Delta Presents at USC
Each sorority has a designated time for Presents. Individual chapters have different traditions. At Pi Phi I recall they had each new member "crowned" with a circle of flowers in her hair. Tri Deltas walk through a flower bedecked arch as they are presented.
Since Tri Delta has a large front garden the presentation is done outdoors with a formal reception and luncheon buffet served after the ceremony in the chapter dining room. Naturally, there is time for many photographs.
The new members are dressed in long white dresses. They wait inside the foyer and each one is introduced individually to parents, relatives and friends. A few highlights of their accomplishments are announced as they are introduced. They then walk through the white flower covered arch.
Guests are seated outdoors at tables with large umbrellas. Each table has a bouquet of flowers in the center. After the presentation of the new members guests and members leave the garden and enter the chapter house for the reception. The buffet tables are decorated with flowers and Tri Delta symbols.
I shall try to post some photos tomorrow.
