Tri Delta’s purpose is to “broaden the moral and intellectual life” of its members, and here at USC, we are proud of our chapter for consistently achieving a higher grade point average than the average Panhellenic woman, all Greek, and all women’s GPA. This past academic year (2022-23), our house was awarded with the highest GPA of all Panhellenic Organizations!
One of our favorite ways to support one another in our academic pursuits is through study hours. We host study hours at the chapter house, which allows our members to sit in a quiet space to do work side by side with sisters and of course, enjoy ‘Delta Dessert’ and snacks!
Every Spring semester, our Director of Academic Excellence hosts a Scholarship Dinner where we invite an acclaimed speaker to join us for dinner at the chapter house. There, we celebrate the members who have gotten perfect 4.0s for the past semester, as well as those who have made the Dean’s List. These dinners are a great way to come together and celebrate the culmination of a semester’s hard work.
Each year, Tri Delta offers multiple local and national scholarships to award deserving members for their dedication to academics, sisterhood, and leadership. This scholarship list will be updated as our Scholarship chair is made aware of upcoming opportunities. For more information on USC Panhellenic scholarship opportunities, please click here.
