Annual Events
Founders’ Day
Founders’ Day is traditionally a late fall celebration of Tri Delta’s founding on Thanksgiving Eve 1888. This celebration is the cornerstone of many alumnae chapter calendars and provides a wonderful opportunity to collaborate and celebrate our rich history with collegiate chapter(s) in the area.
Pansy Celebration
Celebrating our collegiate members’ graduation and Circle Degree, the third and final degree of Initiation, dates as far back as a 1908 when a “pansy luncheon” was hosted by alumnae chapters. Later, in 1927, the first official Pansy Breakfast was hosted by Theta Xi Chapter at the University of Southern California. The tradition quickly spread across the country and was the topic of a LIFE Magazine photo essay in 1945. Now each year we host Pansy Celebrations with collegiate and alumnae chapters and virtually to celebrate this ceremony with our graduating seniors.
Chapter Anniversaries
Alumnae Chapter Anniversaries
Many alumnae chapters celebrate the founding of their chapter on significant milestone years, traditionally 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 years. Sometimes these anniversaries are celebrated during a regularly scheduled event, but they are also often a stand-alone event for all current and past members of the chapter.
Collegiate Chapter Anniversaries
Collegiate chapter alumnae often partner with the collegiate chapter officers and local alumnae chapter to plan for a celebration of significant anniversaries of the chapter’s installation. In many cases, the collaborative planning between collegiate and alumnae members leads to a meaningful and larger-scale celebration event.
