St. Jude Children's Cancer Research Hospital
Delta Delta Delta officially adopted St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as its national philanthropic partner in November 1999, providing members the opportunity to unite in support of a children's cancer charity. Since that time, Tri Delta chapters across the country have raised money and awareness for the hospital in a variety of ways.
As members of Delta Delta Delta we are very committed to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We host two major philanthropy events and "St. Jude Week."
Pancake Breakfast
Pancake Breakfast is one of the largest and most fun events of the year! Pancake breakfast is held at the Tri Delta house and hosted by the sisters of Beta Xi! This event starts at 11pm on a fall Saturday night and goes all the way into Sunday afternoon! For five dollars a ticket, students, family, faculty members, and friends, can get all you can eat pancakes and bacon! It's a great time for all Greek and non-Greek organizations to come together to raise money to fight childhood cancer along with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! Last year the sisters of Beta Xi raised $11,518.89!
Triple Play
This event is an all day softball tournament held on a hot spring semester Saturday! People from all over the Nacogdoches area, as well as SFA students, come together and form teams to compete! This year we held our second annual dad's weekend in conjunction with Triple Play, meaning our dad's formed a team as well! We have a blast cooking out, listening to music, and cheering on our friends and family, all while raising money for the children of St. Jude! Last year, the sisters of Beta Xi raised $12,266 from the Triple Play Tournament!
