MARCH 2023

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT


Dear Tri Delta Sisters,


It is hard to believe that it is already March. We have had great books to read, dinners and lunches, and chocolate rolling was a blast. Thanks to the Tri Delta executive office for hosting us, and to all of our program committee for planning great events. 


I am going back to Ole Miss in April for a reunion of my initiation class and the class one year ahead of us for our Golden Circle degree. We have been diligently searching for as many of our pledge sisters as possible. Please go to https://mytridelta.tridelta.org/ and update your information to make it easy for friends to locate you. 


Please reach out if you are new to the area or just have questions. We would love for you to be involved.


Delta Love,

Patti Ellis Winstanley (Mississippi)

2022-2024 President, Dallas Alumnae Chapter of Tri Delta
