About Tri Delta

Tri Delta was founded by women, for women, in 1888 at Boston University when our Founders bravely created a new organization that would “think more of a woman’s inner character than her outward appearance.” Their vision has grown into the dynamic women’s organization we know today.

Today, Tri Delta is a network of nearly 250,000 women, and we are committed to lifelong learning through educational initiatives, transformational programming and relevant personal and professional development.

Chapter History

Our alumnae chapter was chartered in 1962 with nine members under the name of the Richardson Alumnae Chapter. With growth, we changed our name to the Richardson/North Dallas chapter to encompass the ever-growing area.

In the summer of 2010, both the Richardson/North Dallas Alumnae Chapter and the Collin County Alumnae Chapter combined our activities, philanthropies, and chapter administrations. At this time we officially changed our name to the North Dallas Area Alumnae Chapter.

During 2020, our chapter formed a 501(c)(3), Pansy and Pearl Charities and started our annual philanthropic event, Cookies & Castles Frisco, which raises funds for both Scottish Rite for Children and Tri Delta's Foundation.

In 2021-22, our chapter exceeded 100 members for the very first time and celebrated our 60th Anniversary on May 22, 2022.
