SUPPORT

NHC serves as the Fraternity's administrative arm for all matters of housing within Tri Delta and provides resources and support to all Tri Delta properties, regardless of who owns and operates them. Local house corporations and collegiate house managers can utilize the expertise of volunteer Housing Specialists or online resources such as manuals, model contracts, and recommended partners.

MANAGEMENT

Managing a property successfully requires creating and maintaining a budget, overseeing the day-to-day operations, as well as planning for future improvements. These responsibilities can be overwhelming for volunteers, and local property management companies typically lack an understanding of Greek housing. That is why the fraternity relies on the professional staff of NHC to provide management services to Tri Delta properties. NHC management services include day-to-day property management, bookkeeping (including accounts payable and receivable), and rent and fee analysis. These services can be tailored to the chapter's needs and can be utilized by all Tri Delta properties whether locally or NHC owned.

GROWTH

Perpetuating growth of Tri Delta properties requires continual evaluation and enhancement. Properties that are owned and operated by NHC receive this continual support so that they can remain competitive with other housing options provided in their campus community. NHC can assist any Tri Delta chapter with project management and interior design projects. For chapters who have some form of meeting or living space, but who do not own a building or land, NHC provides an Asset Management Program designed to ensure that the spaces are continually enhanced through a three-year renovation rotation.

Tri Delta has a long history of excellence in providing housing for its members. 

According to the 75th anniversary issue of The Trident, in 1919 fewer than a dozen Tri Delta chapters owned properties.  Some chapters rented houses, but most members could be found living in crowded dormitories or rooming houses.  It was just 30 years after the Fraternity's founding and World War I had ended.  The restrictions of the war had been lifted and students began pouring into college towns and needed safe and comfortable places to live. College administrators were focused on securing classroom space and equipment and could not give their attention to student housing. Concerned for members' health and safety, Fraternity officers decided they would encourage chapters to own their own houses and they would make funds available where needed. Before the end of the 1920s, 40 houses valued at $2,000,000 had been built, remodeled or were in the blueprint stage. Many of these houses were built according to Fraternity guidelines that called for quiet study rooms, airy sleeping quarters and spacious but homelike living and dining rooms.

Today, most Tri Delta facilities are owned and managed by local house corporations who are made up of alumnae living in the area. 

Delta Delta Delta National House Corporation, incorporated in 1991, is an impressive force in the Greek and student housing market today.  Currently, Tri Delta House Corporations own and/or manage facilities at 120 chapters. 

In most cases, house corporations own traditional sorority houses where chapter members live, share meals, attend meetings and host chapter events. However, some house corporations own, rent or manage other types of facilities, ranging from a suite in a university building, an apartment building, or a specially designed lodge.The National House Corporation Board of Directors, Housing Specialists and National House Corporation staff are responsible for all housing initiatives and real estate operations of the Fraternity.

In 2005, National House Corporation created and hired Park Street Properties to serve as the property manager for all of its facilities. 

Located in National House Corporation's offices in Arlington, Texas, Park Street Properties provides fee-based financial and property management services for house corporations.
