Lightbulb Some Tri Delta Firsts

All these fun facts are from the website:
-Tri Delta was the first women's fraternity to be founded as a national organization with complete plans for governmental structure and expansion
-Tri Delta began regular publication of a quarterly magazine earlier in its existence than any other women's fraternity
-Tri Delta was the first to plan and perfect an alumnae system
-Tri Delta was one of the seven organizations founding the National Panhellenic School, now called National Panhellenic Conference.
-Tri Delta pioneered in chapter visiting by appointing in 1905 an officer to visit all chapters
-Tri Delta was the first to publish a book-length history: A Detailed Record of Delta Delta Delta, 1888-1907
-Tri Delta was the first women's fraternity to hold a national Leadership Conference
-Tri Delta was the first to establish a central office (now called Executive Office
-Tri Delta was a leader in financing proper housing for collegiate chapters and has a large investment in houses, lodges and suites
-Tri Delta has been chosen to participate in campus expansion programs at many fine institutions when they first opened to NPC fraternities
-Tri Delta has concentrated its national philanthropic efforts on higher education and has been praised by educators for these contributions through the Founders' Anniversary Fellowships, the Zoe Gore Perrin Scholarships and the endowment of the National Humanities Center.
-Tri Delta led NPC organizations in the number of members listed in the first edition of Who's Who of American Women, and many other members have been added in subsequent editions
-Tri Delta was the first NPC group to adopt a central accounting system for its collegiate chapters
-Individual Tri Deltas have made outstanding contributions in many fields. The History of Delta Delta Delta, 1888-1988 includes a chapter recognizing many "Distinguished Deltas," and The Trident regularly features articles on our outstanding Tri Deltas.


We were also taught (by various members of EO) that Tri Delta was one of the few women's GLO that did not have a male found or help with the rituals, symbols, etc. I also remember that Sarah Ida Shaw, who wrote all our rituals, helped write rituals for other organizations (but we weren't told who).
