"The
year I spent as a Field Consultant was one of the most meaningful years of my
life. There is nothing like going to bed at night after an exhausting days work
knowing I was making a difference in the lives of collegiate women, volunteers,
and the Fraternity. It allowed me to grow personally through self-sacrifice for
others, but perhaps the gift that I am most grateful for is the friendships I
was given with the other consultants. They are the models of the woman I strive
to be, and some of my closest friends today. I am thankful every day to Tri
Delta for them."
Christie Yerks, Virginia Tech, Field Consultant 2006-2007
"Serving
Tri Delta as a Field Consultant was life changing for me. First, it gave
me the opportunity to learn about myself, develop leadership and interpersonal
skills I have used throughout my adult life, and travel to see so
many interesting campuses and places throughout the United States. But, more
importantly, it gave me the opportunity to learn more about our Fraternity and
the wonderful collegians and alumnae who comprise our membership.
These experiences have led to my lifelong involvement with Tri Delta and I
truly could not imagine my life without my DDD friends and experiences.
There is so much more to Tri Delta membership than the friendships we
develop in our collegiate chapters, and serving as a Field Consultant
helped me to understand the depth and the breadth of what Delta Delta
Delta has to offer each of us.
Michelle Popp Shimberg, Florida, Field Consultant 1984-1985, Fraternity President 2004-2008
"The Field Consultant experience
taught me more about myself as a professional and as a person than I ever
thought I could learn in just one year. Fifty+ flights and over 30
presentations later, I feel more independent and confident in my career and in
live. When I think of the missed flights, difficult Standards meetings, the few
hours of sleep I got, and the number of nights I missed home more than anything
- I'll admit that even tying the world's prettiest bow around this experience
will not make it glamorous. With this experience also came great memories! I
was given the opportunity to travel the county, help chapters get through tough
times, meet thousands of my fellow sisters and even help start a brand new
chapter. Most of all I cherish the relationships I have formed with my fellow
FC's on this journey. I would not trade this experience for anything in the
world."
