Friendship, Sisterhood, Belonging

Tri Delta was founded by women for women, when our Founders bravely created a new organization that would “think more of a woman’s inner character than her outward appearance.” In Tri Delta, you are a unique and valuable part of the whole.

We don’t want you to come here and be like us. We want you to come here and be you.

CHAPTER RECRUITMENT: A WORD OF ADVICE FOR POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS

Dear PNM, From day one at Butler, I was intrigued by recruitment. I had just moved here from my hometown in Canada, where very few people actually join Greek Life. Despite how nerve wracking it felt, signing up for recruitment turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Every day since I ran to Tri Delta on bid day, I think about how much this opportunity has given me, and how lucky I am to have found a place to call my home away from home.Meeting Tri Deltas here at Butler helped me understand for the first time ever what it means to “just be yourself”. I found I could talk to the girls I met without overthinking everything that came out of my mouth. They told me that they found their “forever friends” or “future bridesmaids” in Tri Delta, and I wondered how anyone could be so certain that someone would be in your lifeforever. But the friends I have made in Tri Delta have proven over and over again that they are here to stay. I have truly never met a group of people more committed to showing up for their friends, and I am so inspired by the way that every single one of them goes out of their way to support each other.What sticks out most to me about my time here so far is not necessarily the bigger sorority occasions like formals or philanthropy events, but it’s the quiet moments that fill in between. It is the little things like having a friendly face to sit with in class, or people who want to stay and hang out on the weekends, and friends that are up for anything that have truly changed my life. To the PNM who is unsure if recruitment is for them, my advice is to just go for it. If you commit to jumping in headfirst, you might just find friendships you didn’t know you needed.
