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.

Chapter History
The Greater Hartford Alumnae Chapter was chartered in the Spring of 1938 with 14 charter members. Our interests at the time were social get-togethers and fundraising. We continue with our social get-togethers – book clubs, happy hours, sisters-only gatherings, gatherings in which our spouses/significant others join us - and philanthropic events. While we were unable to gather in person in 2020 and 2021, we held multiple virtual events which allowed longtime alumnae sisters that had moved to keep in touch.
We supported the collegiate chapter at Trinity College in Hartford from its formation in 1981 until it closed in 1995. We now offer support to the Quinnipiac University collegiate chapter (Epsilon Tau) in Hamden and the Sacred Heart collegiate chapter (Epsilon Psi) in Fairfield as needed.
