Since we know what philanthropy means, let’s talk about WHAT our wonderful chapters are philanthropic about!
Drury Tri Delta's national philanthropy is St. Jude Children’s Research hospital. We do several events throughout the year to raise money for the kids. No patient at St. Jude ever receives a bill for their treatment, so that really fuels our passion knowing that we are helping save kids lives. This summer we celebrated our 20 year partnership with St. Jude. Over the past 20 years Tri Delta has raised 68 million dollars for this organization, making us the largest donor St. Jude has had. We are so thankful and proud to be able to take part in saving these precious children. No child should die in the dawn of life 💙💛

Say ‘hello’ to our next Rho Chi, Ciera DuBan!
Her favorite memory was: “Watching my little and her pledge class get initiated. The traditions of our rituals are beautiful and it is inspiring to know that every chapter around the country has done it the same way for years. I was so happy for her to get to experience what I had just done a few years ago. Also a bat came out of the rafters during their initiation so that was pretty sick, hopefully that’ll be the only time though. 🦇🦇”

We lost a member of not only our Panhellenic community, but Panhellenic Council.
Our sweet VP of Events, Caroline Conrad, has left us with nothing but the sweetest smile, the most contagious laugh, and the best memories. Our hearts are with her family, her friends, and her ZETA sisters. All the love to our community💓
If you need to speak to someone, feel free to reach out to our Student Activities Office or the counseling center at Drury.
The Drury University campus, athletics department, and the community were saddened to learn that Caroline Conrad, a student-athlete on DU’s women’s bowling team and a prominent campus leader, passed away in an auto accident Tuesday night. She was 19 years old.
Conrad, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, completed her sophomore year at Drury last spring. She was a key member of the Drury women’s bowling team during the previous two seasons and was a two-time national All-Academic selection by the National Tenpin Coaches Association. An accomplished student, Conrad was named a Warren White Scholar in 2018 after posting one of highest grade point averages as a first-year student at Drury.
More information about funeral and memorial services will be forthcoming as details become available.
