Dear Sisters,
Happy 101st Birthday! As I reflect on my personal journey in our sorority, I am forever thankful for all that SDT has brought into my life, but especially the amazing friendships I've made. Whether it was my best friend from my own collegiate experience, or the women I've met while volunteering, I am blessed by the sisters in my life who support, inspire and empower me to be the best women I can be! I urge each of you to reach out this weekend to your special sisters and celebrate the wonderful friendships that have come into your life as a result of being in SDT!
Let's have some fun this week! Which SDT Founder Are You Most Like?
Are you a "leader" like Dora, or an "activity girl" like Regene? Take our fun
Founders quiz
and find out! Post your results with us at @sdtsorority, #sdtfoundersday. I'm like Amy Apfel Tishman, the "Personality Plus Coed"!
All my best,
Debbie Eleftheroiu, Beta Tau-Rutgers
National President

"My sorority days are in my rearview mirror, but memories remain that make me smile. After my youngest child left for college, I decided I wanted to reconnect with Sigma Delta Tau in my local area. The question was how and where?"

I love celebrating Sigma Delta Tau's Founders Day every year! It's our 101st this year...the first year of a new century. Sorority life sure has changed, but one thing remains constant and that's our shared commitment to sisterhood! No matter your chapter or where you reside, you are connected to 70,000 sisters around the world!
I can't wait to see your pictures and posts, so please remember to tag the organization and use our hashtags: #sdtsno18 #sdtfoundersday! And, do take our Founders quiz and share your results! I am like Dora Bloom Turteltaub, "the leader."
I hope you enjoyed our new section above with stories from alumnae. If you have an idea for a blog, a great story to share, or even something helpful for other alumnae to know, we'd enjoy hearing from you!
Fraternally,
Margaux Manley Lima, Alpha Mu-University of Miami
