Blair Wilson (PC ‘16) describes #WhyTriDelta is such an amazing space for her to grow as a leader and friend!

If you had told me that three years ago that I would be serving as a leader of a group of two hundred and fifty unique women by the time I was a senior in college, I would have probably laughed in your face and continued onward with my summer. However, I have come to learn that a lot can change in three years and life is a beautiful path of unknowingness and growth. My college path has been shaped tremendously by the wonderful experiences that Tri Delta has provided for me over these past couple of years.

Growing up I was constantly surrounded by my two loving younger sisters, and so when the time came to be separated from them I knew I wanted to find a sorority that would help me have that sisterhood still throughout college. I sought out the one that made me feel the most comfortable and at home, and Tri Delta just so happened to be the place for me! It feels like yesterday that I was moving into my Freshman Year dorm saying goodbye to my parents and adjusting to making new friends with my hall mates. It turns out that one of the first girls I met on move-in day just so happened to be holding my hand running down the hill a week later to greet the remainder of our sorority for the very first time, and now one of my dearest friends.

This group of women has exposed me to more than I could have ever imagined. Thanks to the wonderful influences I have around me each and every day, I was able to expand my leadership abilities by traveling to two leadership conferences in beautiful cities, step out of my comfort zone by serving as a contestant in the Miss Clemson University Pageant, and find friends that will drop everything they are doing to accompany me to the doctor when I am feeling under the weather. Thanks to Tri Delta, I have found friends that I have had the opportunity to travel the world with, celebrate birthdays with, and hold each other’s hands through the challenges that college presents. I have been able to grow stronger in my relationships that will only continue to grow in the years to come.

I cannot wait to see what else Tri Delta has in store for me in this remaining year. This sorority has allowed me to develop memories I will cherish forever, strive to academic achievements, reached new heights in my confidence, and given me opportunities to laugh harder than I ever thought possible. I am so thankful for everything, and I cannot wait to see where this strong group of girls will continue to guide me next.

GO TRI DELTA!
