Tools for success

The academic program at Kappa Chapter is geared to give every member the tools she needs to succeed throughout her college career. To assist our members in their academic pursuits, Tri Delta offers wireless internet throughout the house. This technology was installed during the summer of 2006 and enables new members and class groups to gather at Tri Delta to study.

The expanded Study Room features high speed internet connections at the four in-house computers. The Study Room and the Chapter Room hold 24 hour quiet hours to provide members a quiet refuge to study at all times. The chapter has fully stocked printers and a commercial grade copier to allow members to meet all of their academic needs in the safety of their own home.

Academic Program

The academic program at Kappa Chapter holds members to the highest academic standards. Formal study hours are conducted Sunday through Thursday and are proctored by members on the Dean’s List. Tri Delta members have a wide range of academic pursuits and our chapter accommodates these unique needs. Members are encouraged to study in the specialty labs located throughout campus. Study groups are held in the chapter dining room and at Love Library to best suit the member’s individual needs.

Motivation

Delta A’s is a new program created to encourage academic excellence in Tri Delta. Each week members bring one of their papers, quizzes, or tests with an A grade to the Chapter meeting. At that time members who have earned an A throughout the week are entered in to a monthly drawing for $50. This encourages members to keep up their academic efforts throughout the semester.

Tri Deltas earning 3.5 GPAs and above enjoy perks throughout the semester to reward them for their academic excellence. These treats include Blockbuster gift cards, Juice Stop smoothies, Jimmy John's sandwiches, and comfy yoga pants. These members can be seen wearing their "smarty pants" throughout the halls of Tri Delta.

Members attaining a 4.0 GPA are the pride of Tri Delta. These women serve as role models for their sisters. Their efforts are recognized by the 4.0 pearl that hangs from their badge.
