LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to Fall! Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning, there are so many ways to jump in this Fall.

Three ways to get connected this Fall:

Social events — Connect at gatherings big and small, including our Fall Event on September 29 as we kick off the year together.
Special interest groups — Meet sisters through smaller meetups built around shared passions.
Philanthropy — Support Cookies & Castles for Scottish Rite Hospital and explore new ways to champion St. Jude locally.

Our Welcoming Committee is here to help you feel supported, included, and at home in Tri Delta—whether you’re curious about chapter life, want details on upcoming events, or simply hope to connect with a sister over coffee. Reach out anytime—we can’t wait to get to know you!

Hope to see you soon!

Delta Love,

Pam Casson

New Facebook Page - Only available to 2026-2027 dues paid members and active collegiates

We have a new Facebook group for SMU Active Collegiates and Dallas Alumnae Dues paid members.

The old site is no longer monitored.

Once you pay your dues, ask to join this facebook page. Once verified, you will be added.

Then post away looking for house sitters/babysitters/dog sitters/part time employees and more.

We have encouraged the collegiates to post as well if they need anything or have questions about careers, internships, etc..

So, let’s all help each other and grow this collegiate - alumnae community!
