A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
What are the Deltas doing? It's been a busy first seven weeks of school, so we wanted to highlight what we've been up to. This season of life doesn't have to fit neatly into one category or follow a perfect plan. There is room for spontaneous fun, quiet moments, big plans and even the ordinary Tuesdays. We made cards for the kids at St. Jude to encourage them and love on them from Fayetteville. This is always one of our favorite ways to give back to the true Heartbeat of Tri

Officially Official!
Hellllo Deltas! This past weekend, our newest pledge class was initiated! There are now 175 officially official members of Delta Iota. This was such a sweet time for all of our members. There was a role for everyone to step into to be a part of this special ceremony. The older girls got to bond with the younger girls while they painted socks together. A tradition we have done here at Tri Delta for years, painting socks with your sponsor is something fun and silly we do during

Here We Go Again
This past Thursday, the Delta Iota chapter headed to City Park to kick off the new school year with our first function of the semester: Deltas & The Dynamos! Inspired by all things Mamma Mia, the night was filled with non-stop dancing, endless laughter, and enough sparkles to light up all of Fayetteville. Our sisters showed out in their best looks, covered in sequins, glitter, and every shade of Tri Delta blue you can imagine. From shimmering tops to platform boots, the outfi

Decades of Game Days the Delta Way
The first Razorback football game of the year is on Saturday and we wanted to take a little trip down memory lane to relive, reminisce, and swoon over game days that created the traditions we have now. Over the decades, Arkansas football has changed in many ways. We watched the Hogs trade the old Southwest Conference for the SEC, watched Razorback Stadium grow into a 76,000-seat stage, lived through shifting coaching eras, and new uniform designs. We’ve braved torrential dow

Distinguished Deltas: Sarah Ida Shaw
Happy Tuesday, Deltas! Today, we are shining a spotlight on the woman who started it all. Sarah Ida Shaw is nothing short of visionary. Her entire life was defined by a deep commitment to female empowerment, a brilliant intellect, and a pioneering spirit. Long before women were widely welcomed on college campuses or given a voice in society, she dared to imagine a sisterhood built on character, intellect, and unconditional acceptance, laying the foundation for everything Tri

It’s Go Time
Hellllooo Deltas! The halls of the Tri Delta house are officially buzzing again! After a long, restful summer spent recharging, all of our sisters have made their way back to Fayetteville, moved into their rooms, and fully settled into life on West Maple Street. There is truly no feeling quite like coming back home to Delta Iota, catching up on everyone's summer adventures, and feeling the energy rise as we kick off another incredible academic year at the University of Arkans

A Love Letter to Summer Break
Dear Summer, You always seem to arrive at just the right time. You greet us with slower mornings, golden sunsets, and permission to breathe a little deeper. You remind us that life isn’t only measured by calendars, deadlines, or the next thing on our to-do list, but by the people we love and the moments that make simple days feel unforgettable. Thank you for the memories we’ll carry long after we are rushed back into this new semester. Thank you for the lake days, road trips,

Missing Maple Street
It's the middle of summer, and while a break from tests and study sessions is nice, there seems to be a very distinct void that a day at the pool can't seem to fill. We miss our sisters, so we find ourselves reminiscing about this past year. Let's take a little trip down memory lane! August August always seems to rush by a little too fast. The month started by moving into our home at 920 West Maple Street. Getting to be roommates and neighbors with our best friends has never

It quickly becomes a home away from home because of its rich history and sweet traditions.

Distinguished Deltas: Fay Biles
Happy Tuesday, Deltas! Today, we wanted to look at another Distinguished Delta. Dr. Fay Biles was nothing short of accomplished. Her life was defined by leadership and service. She never backed down from a challenge and shattered the glass ceiling for women in sports. Born in 1927 in Reading, Pennsylvania, Biles always seemed to be a fierce leader.

The Heart of the House
I recently had the privilege of sitting down with our House Mom before she retires. Mom Jodi shared some of her favorite memories about Tri Delta. This room holds a lot of memories. Mom Jodi's door has always been open and she always gives the best advice. She's always ready to hear about what's new in our lives and supports us through every trial and triumph.
