[edit] Coat of Arms

I replaced the previous coat of arms with the newer image due to the fact that the yellow doesn't look gray. I hope nobody has a problem with it. --ImmortalGoddezz 15:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mystic or Moronic ??

What is it with American's and Greek letters ?

In England I get people asking for jobs and throwing these letters at me - they don't mean anything outside of the US, and seem a bit creepy to us

[edit] letters after names?

Notable alumnae / For a full list of notable Delta Delta Delta alumnae please visit here. [1] / Donna Axum (Delta Iota)

What's the (Delta Iota) for? Is that some kind of subdivision? Maybe it's in the text somewhere but maybe one can repeat it at the top of the list.

The letters in brackets after their name are the chapter they were in. --ImmortalGoddezz 01:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tri Delta was founded in the same year that Geauga Lake Amusement Park, in Aurora, Ohio, was founded.

What is the significance of this piece of trivia? Lots of things happened in 1888. 152.83.174.93 02:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Betsy Boze

Please do not add this person again until sources that pass WP:V and WP:RS have been found. I've removed her twice, both times somebody claims that she can be found in the Delta Delta Delta citation (the link is here), that is not true. I cannot find any sources that back up the fact that she's in Delta Delta Delta, so until somebody adds a different citation that can pass both WP:RS and WP:V (which is not an individuals chapter notable page) please do not add her again. Thank you. --ImmortalGoddezz 22:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I hopt that these help.

Please see my comment above. Individual chapter websites are not reliable sources for content such as this. Since they do not have the reputation for verifying their information as independent newspapers do, and are used for recruitment purposes they cannot be used. I've removed the info once again. --ImmortalGoddezz (t/c) 12:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

So, maybe I'm a little slow, but ...

  • Dr. Boze says she was an SMU Tri-Delta / Theta Kappa, and
  • I know for a fact that she was, in fact, a third generation Tri-Delta, and
  • She was president of two (three, I think!) different Tri Delta Alumnae chapters

AND she was

  • State Reference Chairman (Alaska)
  • President of the local philanthrophy "Wish Upon a Star" (Shreveport, LA)
  • Panhellenic Advisor (LSU Shreveport)
  • Chapter Advisor (U of Arkansas)

AND

  • Two additional collegiate chapters recognize her as outstanding, distinguished, etc.

then, what, exactly is the problem?

Can you help me understand, here? Are you questioning that: a) She might not actually be a Tri Delta? Wow, that would be quite the ruse, wouldn't it? Or B) That she isn't notble or distinguished?

This isn't Tri Delta's web page, so need not reflect only those that national may (or may not) have selected. The titles used aren't even the same! —Preceding unsigned comment added by DeltaLove (talk • contribs) 22:42, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Once again see my comment above. Chapter pages are not reliable sources because they are self published and used for recruitment. If you wish to add her back in provide reliable and verifiable sources. An additional note: 'You said' 'she said' 'we said' 'they said' 'I know' 'they know' etc. are not reliable. Please read up on our guidelines here and here. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz (t/c) 22:50, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

So, would you like? Her badge number? Copies of the 1972, 1973 or 1974 SMU yearbooks? There is lot's of stuff out there, including national and chapter directories, even printouts from the national office. She is featured in several articles in the Tri Delta magazine, the Trident. These are, indeed reliable and varifiable (more so than, say references to God!) but they aren't online. I disagree that a collegiate web site is necessarily unreliable. They are carefully monitored by the national office for accuracy!

Seriously, though, I can send you a PDF of National Office's zip code roster for the area to your email address if you would like (I can't post it online because of confidentiality). Would that satisfy you? What email would you like it sent to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.185.71.233 (talk) 00:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
