Be Bold. Bring You. Tri Delta Welcomes Epsilon Tau Chapter at Quinnipiac
The women have been given the opportunity to “Be Bold. Bring You” as they start something exciting and new at Quinnipiac, laying the foundation for a lasting legacy for years to come. Collegiate Chapter President Molly Davis, Quinnipiac, (pictured top left) was initially drawn to Tri Delta because she felt it was authentic. “As a founding member of Epsilon Tau, as well as its first president, I am hoping for our legacy to be a true and genuine sorority, a home for women who may have never thought Greek life was for them — like I initially had been. I am very excited to be able to set the tone for Epsilon Tau that will live on at Quinnipiac.” Already, Tri Deltas can be found nearly everywhere on campus: they are orientation leaders, members of student government, on the dance team and in the campus’ service fraternity. “Tri Delta is unique at Quinnipiac because it is so real and genuine,” says Molly. “There is a mix of women from all walks of life who are not afraid to be themselves. The fact that we are a new chapter makes it even more exciting with the idea that we can mold this chapter into anything we want.” The members’ passion for involvement began with their sisterhood as they made connections, formed bonds and set goals for their chapter. Involvement didn’t end there as the members participated in multiple campus, community and Greek life events during the fall semester.

Epsilon Tau supported QU Panhellenic by volunteering for Kappa Delta’s Halloween event for the Girl Scouts and supported the men’s basketball team for Greek Night. Sisterhood events were full of Delta Love as sisters participated in the first Founders’ Day of Giving Chapter Challenge, made Halloween cards for the children at Yale New Haven Hospital and went to Skyzone Trampoline Park during Delta Week. At the chapter’s installation, the Tri Delta Foundation presented the Kathleen Davis Nye Scholarship, a $1,000 scholarship awarded to one new member of the chapter. The scholarship is made possible through an endowment established in honor of a past Fraternity President and Panhellenic leader, Kathleen Davis Nye, Iowa. The scholarship was presented to Epsilon Tau member Celina Carreiro, a junior pursuing a bachelor’s degree in nursing with double minors in biology and psychology. Celina is “passionate about helping others and upholds Tri Delta’s ideals in being kind alike to all,” quoted Audi Chastain Moore, Franklin, when presenting the scholarship award to Celina on behalf of the Foundation. The members of Epsilon Tau are brave, bold and kind as they live Tri Delta’s ideals, and lead in demonstrating kindness on Quinnipiac’s campus and community. “The beauty of this organization is beneath what is seen on the surface,” says Molly. “The focus on the inner beauty of women and kindness initially drew me to Tri Delta. What made me stay was the sense of family.”
