About Tri Delta
Tri Delta was founded by women, for women, in 1888 at Boston University when our Founders bravely created a new organization that would “think more of a woman’s inner character than her outward appearance.” Their vision has grown into the dynamic women’s organization we know today.
Today, Tri Delta is a network of nearly 250,000 women, and we are committed to lifelong learning through educational initiatives, transformational programming and relevant personal and professional development.
From supporting Tri Delta’s Foundation—which empowers collegiate and alumnae members through transformational programs, scholarships and emergency financial support—to supporting the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and local children’s cancer charities, Tri Deltas are passionate about serving others.

About Our Chapter
Founded in 1970 as an alumnae chapter, Southside Indianapolis members remain dedicated to holding 3-5 meetings a year. In 2025, we are excited to co-host our Indiana State Meet (aka "State Day")--along with the Franklin, Ind. Alumnae Chapter--and have plans to recognize our Golden and Diamond Circle Members, review our bylaws, and will attempt a new and different service project this year. We are also reaching out to the collegiate chapters here in our state asking them what support they might need or appreciate from our centrally located, "small but mighty" chapter. We believe in Hoosier hospitality and that Tri Delta is forever, and we want our alumnae chapter activities to reflect the values of sisterhood we hold dear!
