Welcome to the web site page for the
Nashville TN Tri-Delta
Alumnae Chapter!
 August 2008
Welcome to the 2008 Crescent Award-winning Nashville TN Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Delta Delta web site page! It is packed full of vital information pertaining to our local area chapter. Regardless if you are new to Nashville or have lived here all your life, you will be connecting with many Delta sisters in ways that you least expect.
This 2008-09 year, our theme is to connect, network and inspire with each alumna, be it through our events, e-mail, newsletter, web site page, career networking, InCircle or word of mouth. Already, your alumnae officers have met and discussed ways to reach out even more to alumnae living in the Nashville area. We will provide more ways to connect through our quarterly e-newsletter so be sure to get on our distribution list.

Membership dues are payable once a year (preferably by December 1st) and are an important way to connect with us. Click here to pay your dues online. With over 1,000 Tri Deltas in the Nashville area (including Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Robertson, Wilson, Sumner, & Cheatham), it is a small way to support big your local alumnae chapter. Our goal for the next two years is to increase our dues paying membership by 25% or 30 people. Will you help us exceed our goal?

Aside from dues, there are other ways for you to connect with Delta Delta Delta regardless of the season in your life (new baby, empty nest, moving, etc…). Tips for connecting with Delta Delta Delta as mentioned in the Winter issue 2007 of The Trident emphasize the importance of simply taking the time to connect. Examples include:
- Attend a social event such as local area teas
- Send a holiday card to a Delta sister
- Plant pansies
- Join an InCircle group (It’s free)
- Update your mailing address with Executive Office’s database manager Nelda LeCompte NLeCompte@trideltaeo.org
- Call a Delta sister or better, meet for lunch
- Write a reference for a prospective member
- Make a donation to the Delta Delta Delta Foundation

Our second Career Day Fair is scheduled for Monday, September 29th, 2008 from 5-7pm at Vanderbilt University. This is our chapter’s initiative to provide professional development and foster relations between collegiates and alumna. We host this event every three years. Our alumna officers will meet on September 21st to finalize plans for this event so please mark your calendar and contact our Career Day Chair Emily Fay for more information.
Another important goal for this year is to support not only our major philanthropy, the Eve of Janus Benefit, but to also support the Delta Delta Delta Foundation http://www.tridelta.org/foundation/, which is celebrating its 20th year. For the 2007-2008 academic year, 45 Tri Delta scholars were awarded $82,500 toward degrees. In 2007, collegiate and alumnae sisters in crisis received $70,000 from the Crescent Funds. Nearly $53,000 went to fraternity education and leadership programs in 2007 alone. Without donations, Tri Delta could not assist her members in every possible way. Our Foundation is a self-supporting, charitable organization created by Tri Deltas, for Tri Deltas. Our Nashville TN Alumnae Chapter’s goal is to raise $1,000 to contribute. Please contact our Foundation Representative for more information or make a donation https://www.tridelta.org/touchpoint/forms/foundation-donation.htm.
Last year, we threw down a challenge for each alumnae to reach out to three sisters that they’ve never met before (easily done if you attend one of our events), share a Tri Delta experience, and reconnect with a superb group of women that will reinforce why you made a lifelong commitment to this fraternity. This year, our challenge is to inspire one another to aim for a Tri Delta goal that’s never been dreamed possible. We’d like to share your personal testimony in a future e-newsletter and/or post it on the Inspire! Group via InCircle so please e-mail Greer Gray who is coordinating our newsletter.
Question is will you reach out and connect with us?
