a perpetual bond of friendship

AσΦαλως ‘ Ayαπωµεν Aλληλας

(As’-fah-los Ag-a-po’-men Al-lay’las)

Let us steadfastly love one another

In 1888, women were not permitted to vote, and few women were found in the workplace or at the formerly all-male universities. It was natural for women students to join together in small groups for friendship and support.

Although there were three women's groups represented at Boston University in 1888, Sarah Ida Shaw saw a need for a group which would be different from the others. She said to her friend, Eleanor Dorcas Pond, "Let us found a society that shall be kind alike to all and think more of a girl's inner self and character than of her personal appearance."

The Lambda chapter has a rich history at Baker University that continues to grow with each new member. The members of Delta Delta Delta strive to live out the purpose, care about academic performance, compete in athletic events, have an unending love for St. Jude and make unforgetable memories every day.

Tri Delta enriches the lives of its members as collegiate women and provides them with a home away from home.
