Refer-A-Delta Program

Do you know any Deltas that have recently relocated to the Dallas area? Sisters who are Dallas locals, but aren't yet involved with our alumnae chapter? We want to include all local Deltas in our alumnae community!

Members who Refer-A-Delta will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 NorthPark Gold Gift Card. Each referral is a separate entry. Drawing will take place at our fall Deltas Only event!

There are two ways to Refer-A-Delta:

Send an email to dallasdeltas.welcome@gmail.com with the name and contact info (if you have it) of the sister you are referring. Our welcoming committee will take it from there!

Reach out to the sister yourself! Just email us the name of the sister(s) you reached out to and we will include you in the drawing.

SMU UPDATE

The Theta Kappa house will welcome back the actives August 16-21. The house is in great shape due to the extensive summer maintenance completed by the Theta Kappa House Corporation. The updates to the front walkway/entrance in memory of Theta Kappa Mandy Heilers should be completed before recruitment starts in January. House Corp will meet on August 9 at 11:30AM at the chapter house to prepare for the fall semester.

Theta Kappa actives are excited to return to campus for the 2022 fall semester. Their activity calendar is still developing, but Parents Weekend will be September 23-25, and Homecoming is the weekend of October 21-23.

Calling All Deltas

We are looking for DDD-owned stores, restaurants and services for our programs for 2022-2023. Please email us if you are interested in hosting an event.
