Character and Responsibility
Member Development Initiative
The Member Development Initiative was created to help Tri Delta to stay true to our purpose and develop our members in four very specific areas: Friendship, Intellectual Life, Character and Unselfish leadership. The ultimate purpose of this Tri Delta initiative is to generate meaningful conversations between sisters that enlighten each member and the chapter.
Kristin’s Story
