While we can’t quite send you all back in time to your collegiate days, we can help you go home again!
Who says adults can’t have slumber parties? DDD B&B—a fancy term for a weekend-long getaway with your Tri Delta sisters—is sure to bring back college memories while you make brand-new ones! Tri Delta provides professionally planned, thoughtfully organized weekends, hosted in our Tri Delta homes.
It’s an opportunity to plan a weekend trip with your new member class, a getaway with sisters, a super extraordinary alumnae chapter event or a solo retreat with “bed and breakfast” style accommodations at a Tri Delta chapter house. Whomever you go with or however you plan the trip, it’s sure to be a memorable weekend to re-engage with Tri Delta—and to (re)experience the once-in-a-lifetime fun of living in a Tri Delta home!
