Letter From the President

Welcome to the Chi Chapter of Tri Delta! Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn more about what sisterhood means to us here at Ole Miss. Our chapter is full of inspiring women who are passionate about academic excellence, philanthropy, and genuine friendship. Together, we have the best time celebrating sisterhood and encouraging each other to be brave, bold, and kind!

Academic excellence is something we value. We take pride in our different resources for our members, such as tutoring opportunities and academic dinners to celebrate the end of each semester. We work together to support one another and ensure that every member can reach her full academic potential!

Philanthropy is extremely important to us here at Tri Delt. Every year, we host an event called DHOP, or Delta House of Pancakes, where students on campus are invited to visit our house, enjoy some breakfast-for-dinner, and raise money for St. Jude! Additionally, we host an annual tennis tournament, the Shirley Crawford Classic, to continue fundraising. Friends, family, and members of the Oxford community join us, and it's personally one of my favorite events! As a whole, Tri Delta is St. Jude’s top donor, and we are so thankful to support such an amazing organization! We also participate in local philanthropy events, such as collecting groceries for schools and volunteering at different service events.

Friendships at Tri Delta will truly last a lifetime. Before joining Tri Delt in 2019, I had never experienced such an uplifting, supportive environment! Every member has a place here where she can feel confident and comfortable, which truly makes Tri Delta a home away from home.

Today, I am so thankful to lead our chapter and support our members in any possible way I can. I hope you have enjoyed learning more about our chapter! Feel free to contact me at umtrideltapresident@gmail.com for any questions or concerns.

DLAM,
Mary Elizabeth Pontin
