Harper McCabe (PC’16), our Vice President of Recruitment, tells us #WhyTriDelta made her feel different than any other sorority….

As an incoming freshman, I was beyond excited but also SO nervous for the recruitment process. I knew I was looking for that home away from home, a life long sisterhood. Throughout recruitment, I was blown away by all the amazing women in the Greek community. But as the process wound down, I was so confused on where I thought I should end up, but one feeling stuck out to me: I felt like I belonged.

Every time I went into Tri Delta I felt welcomed and appreciated. I was assured that I didn’t have to put up a front or be anyone other than myself. I felt as though I didn’t have to fit a mold, but instead I could be my most authentic self and be truly loved for who I am. As I talked to the women in Tri Delta, I knew that these were the people that would be there for me in my happiest, saddest, and even weirdest moments! While my decision to ultimately pick Tri Delta was a difficult one, looking back I know it was the best decision of my college career. Everyday spent with my Tri Delta sisters shows me how valued I am for being me. There is truly no one type of woman in Tri Delta, and because of that I am able to embody Tri Delta’s motto “Bring You” to the fullest. Because of this motto, I have grown into the most authentic version of myself. I am more confident in who I am and that flows over into all aspects of my life. I am so grateful for the incredible experience Tri Delta has given me and I can’t believe I have to leave these people and this community at the end of the school year, but I know because I am surrounded by such fun-loving, authentic women, my senior year will be the best one yet!

Having the opportunity to serve as Tri Delta’s VP of Membership has been so rewarding. Through it all, my hope is to help others find the same feeling of belonging that I found in Tri Delta. My bit of advice for potential new members going through recruitment is to remember to Bring You! The recruitment process is all about you and where you find you can be your best and brightest self. Although you may be nervous (I was too), do your best to enjoy the recruitment process, the conversations that you have and all the wonderful people you meet! Good luck with everything; you’re gonna kill it! Go Tigers, Go Greek, and most importantly -- Go Tri Delta!

DLAM,
