About Tri Delta
Tri Delta was founded by women, for women, in 1888 at Boston University when our Founders bravely created a new organization that would “think more of a woman’s inner character than her outward appearance.” Their vision has grown into the dynamic women’s organization we know today.
Today, Tri Delta is a network of nearly 250,000 women, and we are committed to lifelong learning through educational initiatives, transformational programming and relevant personal and professional development.
From supporting Tri Delta’s Foundation—which empowers collegiate and alumnae members through transformational programs, scholarships and emergency financial support—to supporting the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and local children’s cancer charities, Tri Deltas are passionate about serving others.

NETC Chapter History
The Northeast Tarrant County Texas Alumnae Chapter of Tri Delta was chartered on May 1, 1988 by President, Sherry Eckhart & Vice President, Nancy Jackson. Through the last thirty years, the chapter has gone through many stages. In the 90s & 2000s, the group painted pumpkins for Circle of Friends, the Cook Childrens' affiliate. Members also sold pansies to their friends & families. The Alum Chapter philanthropy included Circle of Friends and the Tri Delta's Crescent Fund as well as area DFW collegiate chapters. In the 2010s, ladies met for dinner & drinks at local restaurants. They also met every fall for Founders' Day sometimes with the Arlington Alums & the UTA chapter. Every spring they met for their annual Mother/Daughter Pansy Tea which was held at various locations including the old Delta Delta Delta Executive Office location in Arlington & Coco's Tea Room in Colleyville.
