On Sunday January 26, 2014 Fraternity and Sorority Life hosted the 25th Annual Excellence Awards! Congratulations to all chapters on an amazing year with so many accomplishments! This year the JMU greek community raised over $140,000 for deserving philanthropies and dedicated over 33,000 hours to service! This is a truly remarkable accomplishment that everyone in our community can be so proud of! Our Tri Delta sisters also received many wonderful awards at the ceremony and we are so proud of each of you!
Kara Nunnally
Sorority Woman of the Year
Chapter Best of the Best
Not only can I call this person my great friend, but I can truly, honestly say that she is my sister too. Her presence, professionalism, and bright personality make her such a remarkable young lady with so much talent. She is a sister that takes the time to listen to your worries, stories, funny jokes, and simple hello’s. I am beyond proud of her because she isn’t a typical leader that delegates or follows tradition, she is a sister that is willing to do anything to make everyone a better person and accept change. When I am with her, I become a better person. Everyday she is living our Tri Delta ritual and responsibilities. There hasn’t been a day in Tri Delta where she hasn’t tried to stop by and have a simple conversation with a person on and out of our sorority. Someone who makes an effort to make a mark on her sorority and in her community is someone that deserves this award. There isn’t anyone else I would consider that deserves this award more than she does.” -Lauren Joseph
Julia Ledwith
Outstanding Alumni
If anyone deserves to be recognized for her efforts as an alumni it should be this woman. After graduation most alumni still keep in touch and visit frequently but Julia is a unique case. Everyday she continues to love, breathe, and teach the values of Delta Delta Delta to sisters not only in our chapter but all over the nation” -Molly Hoffmaster
Charlotte Pitt

Throughout her time in Tri Delta, this woman has always displayed the qualities and values of our organization to the utmost of her ability.

In 2013, she was slated as Continuing Education Chairman. She always went the extra mile throughout the year to ensure that our chapter was continually educated about our values, principles, and significance.” -Chelsea Coffman
