With over 200,000 living initiates at 141 chapters and over $450M assets under management, Tri Delta is one of the largest National Panhellenic Conference Greek-letter societies. The Tri Delta enterprise consists of three separate, not-for-profit entities: Tri Delta Fraternity, Tri Delta’s Foundation, and Tri Delta Housing. Together these entities provide the business infrastructure for Tri Delta and its financial assets.[1] The organization partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in 1999, and has raised more than $93 million to support St. Jude patients and their families as of 2024.[3]
