Letter From the President

          We are so blessed to be a part of an organization that thrives on lifting each other up, and I am so grateful to be able to learn, grow, and lean on such incredible people. One of my favorite high school teachers said it best: “How lucky are we, you and I.” 

          Tri Delta has surrounded me with women who leave me filled with joy, and I owe that to the incredible women you all are. You all make my world, and many other people’s worlds, a better place. I think we can all agree that there are countless times that the world has felt impossible –starting college, navigating our early twenties, moving away from home, battling self-doubt, and simply learning what it means to be a woman in the world today.

          The reality is that life will not be uncomplicated, our worries will remain out of reach, and we will never feel in control of the chaos. However, over my past three years in Tri Delta, I have had the honor of learning that the only way forward is together: together with love, intention, and care. The path through life is only cleared when we are investing in those around us, accepting support from those who are offering, and uplifting every voice we encounter. What a gift that we have each other to lean on when life feels impossible. I challenge us all to continue to navigate through life with one promise- that we continue to show up for one another because that is the only thing we can control.

          That is the gift that Tri Delta has given us– a group of women to make the impossible possible, the complicated simple, and foster the genuine female friendship that will keep us moving forward. It is up to us to continue to cultivate these precious relationships that will carve our path ahead. We must remind each other of all the reasons we are important to one another, emphasize just how loved we all are, and celebrate the differences that let us learn from each other. It only feels right to end this with the same words I end every chapter meeting with: “Be Kind to yourself, be kind to one another, and you deserve the love so many people are willing to give.”
