Chapter Philanthropy and Service

 

     St. Jude is the only pediatric research center that treats children without regard for their ability to pay, sending each family home without a single bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. St. Jude treats children of all races, religions, socioeconomic status, and from all around the world. The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Tri Delta is truly blessed to be partnered with such a crucial organization that continually impacts the lives of children and their families. 

 

    In the fall we host Delta House of Pancakes (DHOP), where our Epsilon Tau chapter prepares a pancake buffet breakfast for the entire campus to attend. Our sisters are very involved with each part of the event; making pancakes, selling raffle tickets, and serving! In addition, we hold our annual letter-writing campaign, “Sincerely Yours.” Each member of our chapter writes 30 letters or emails to their family and friends asking for donations and giving background information about St. Jude and how their donations would help fight childhood cancer.

 

    Our second event that we host in the spring is Delta Desserts! This one-night dessert feast draws the attention of multiple students with all you can eat desserts and a cake decorating contest. Each of our sisters contribute by baking desserts and encouraging people to come enjoy them!

 

    Not only do we support St, Jude, but we make an effort to support our QU campus and other national philanthropies. There will always be a Tri Delta sister present at other sorority or fraternity philanthropy events as we give back to our campus by showing up for each other. 

 

    During these tough times, we are doing our best to adjust our events to abide by safety rules and regulations. We are working on new and exciting virtual and in-person events that will hopefully take off and start new traditions at Quinnipiac University. Stay tuned for all of our amazing events coming in 2022!
