Founder's Day

Every year the women of Delta Delta Delta across Canada and the United States commemorate the very special founding of our sorority that took place on Thanksgiving Eve of 1888.  Canada Alpha collegians and alumnae celebrated Founder’s Day this year on November 23^rd at the University of Toronto’s Hart House.

This year marked my third Founder’s Day as a collegian and every year I am still amazed by the remarkable array of women that have dedicated themselves to upholding the values and principles that our founders, Sarah Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcas Pond, placed upon Tridelta those many years ago.  As I sat and ate my delicious three-course meal I was surrounded by women of all generations, that I am proud to call my sisters.  Moments like this reaffirm the truly special and unique bonds of Tridelta sisterhood.

Founder’s Day is an event that I believe is especially wonderful because of the large numbers of alumnae that attend year after year.  I think it exemplifies how the bonds of sisterhood go far beyond one’s time in chapter and extends into a sister’s future.  Whether you are an active member or not, it is our time in Delta Delta Delta that binds us all.  Founder’s Day is a time where members reflect on what it means to be a member and a time to be very proud of all that has been accomplished by our sisters in the past and present, and anticipate the great things that are to come.
