      <title>From Grief to Purpose—The Story Behind Mandi Paris Designs</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dedicated to Mary Elizabeth. </p>
<p>Amanda “Mandi” Posey Paris and Alix Flannigan Hunsucker, both <i>Georgia</i>, pledge sisters and best friends from Alpha Rho Chapter, have walked through the unthinkable together, facing Mandi’s daughter’s cancer battle, fear and loss. Today, as they build Mandi Paris Designs—their thriving brand of original art turned luxury fabric, wallpaper and fashion—Mary Elizabeth’s memory is woven into everything Mandi creates. Her strength, joy and fight live on in every pattern, risk and dream pursued. </p>
<p>In this episode, you’ll hear what their experience with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was really like, how Tri Delta continues to shape their lives and why advocating for cancer research is deeply personal. The conversation is heartbreaking, funny, deeply inspirational and by the end, you’ll fall in love with these two women. Most of all, you’ll witness what it looks like when two friends decide they will never walk alone. And you’ll believe that strength, love and purpose truly outlive loss.</p>

      <title>The Social Impact of Technology With HIV/AIDS Advocate and 2024 Woman of Achievement Brooke Wurst</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Brooke delved inro her work endeavors and how she supports organizations to “help them do the good they do better.” She dropped some serious wisdom about showing up authentically, finding and activating allies, and recognizing mutual opportunities for support. </p><p>Plus, she took us on a hilarious trip down memory lane as she recalls her time in the Bloomers, the first all-female comedy sketch group in the country. Between laughs, there was a more serious message about being a confident woman, engaging in tough conversations about what’s funny and understanding the essence of comedy—knowing your audience. </p><p>Finding balance was also a hot topic, and Brooke talked about embracing her introverted side. We explored how Tri Delta is the catalyst woven into every aspect of her life—career, passions and creative. We even got a sneak peek into her upcoming project (hint … it involves elephants).</p>

      <title>Changing the Tragic Narrative of Alzheimer’s</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Joanna Fix, <i>New Mexico</i>, was leading a flourishing career as a college psychology professor and a law enforcement contractor. She began to notice signs that her executive functioning began to wane. Fueling her car, unloading the dishwasher … these became daily challenges for her. Eventually these issues lead to an involuntary retirement from her teaching career. After four years of tests to determine her diagnosis, Joanna was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at age 48. She is one of the 5% of those diagnosed who are under the age of 65. Despite this life-changing diagnosis, Joanna has become an advocate to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s and dementia, using her platform to change the tragic narrative of the disease. She shares a glimpse into her day-to-day life and how a very special opportunity allowed her to provide a new face to those living with Alzheimer’s. Her story is one of inspiration and hope for all her Tri Delta sisters touched by the disease.  </p>

Despite this life-changing diagnosis, Joanna has become an advocate to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s and dementia, using her platform to change the tragic narrative of the disease. She shares a glimpse into her day-to-day life and how a very special opportunity allowed her to provide a new face to those living with Alzheimer’s. Her story is one of inspiration and hope for all her Tri Delta sisters touched by the disease.  </p>

      <title>Remembering Sarah Ida Shaw on Founders’ Day</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We open up the archives to learn about our Founder with the help of Fraternity Archivist Beth Applebaum, <i>Texas Christian</i>, and Chair of the Tri Delta Alliance Ginger Hicks Smith, <i>Emory</i>, a retired professional archivist. Beth and Ginger read excerpts from letters written by some of Tri Deltas greatest leaders like R. Louise Fitch, <i>Knox</i>, and Ernestine Block Grigsby, <i>Colorado</i>. These memories paint a portrait of who Sarah Ida Shaw (later Ida Shaw Martin) was, from those who knew her best. Their letters recall the founding, Sarah’s commitment to the broader fraternal movement, Tri Delta’s expansion west and so much more. They also discuss the touching moments of Sarah’s broadcast address to the Golden Anniversary Convention in 1938. This is an episode not to be missed … Happy Founders’ Day!</p><p>Be sure to visit more of our digital archives at <a href="https://tridelta.historyit.com/" target="_blank">tridelta.historyit.com!</a></p>

      <title>One Mission, One Goal, One Team: A Conversation With Vernice “FlyGirl” Armour</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Vernice “FlyGirl” Armour has worn many hats in her life: combat pilot, police office and entrepreneur, excelling in typically male-dominated fields. She knows that being the first also speaks to how representation matters. At Tri Delta’s Collegiate Leadership Conference she will speak with our new collegiate officers about elevating their leadership by making what she calls “the gutsy move.” This idea comes from knowing what’s right in your gut, but also having the guts to take the action. She notes that new leaders have the clean canvas to create their own visions into reality. Although there will be obstacles in leadership, obstacles are just opportunities in disguise. Leaders have the ability to stand up, step up and speak up to make real and lasting change.</p><p>Follow and connect with FlyGirl on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/verniceflygirlarmour/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a>!</p>

      <title>“Gentelligence” - What It Is and Why It Matters</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Fresh off her LEADDD Keynote for Tri Delta, we’re pleased to have Dr. Megan Gerhardt on our podcast! Megan is a professor of management and director of leadership development at the Farmer School of Business at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She began her work on “gentelligence” following her TEDx Talk “Why I Like Millennials and You Should Too.” This concept reframes how people think about generational differences in the workplace and personal relationships, and how to apply what we know about diversity in other realms to generations of people. She also discusses the opportunities for “mutual mentorship” and intergenerational learning in both directions, providing the ability to exchange ideas for everyone’s collective growth. Be sure to check out Megan’s TEDx Talk, book and other articles on her website, <a href="https://profgerhardt.com/" target="_blank">profgerhardt.com</a>!</p><p>Follow Megan on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/profgerhardt/" target="_blank">@profgerhardt</a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many of Tri Delta’s collegiate chapters are on the front lines leading the way on our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Melanie Velasquez, <i>San Francisco</i>, found a way to use her voice through Epsilon Rho’s DEI committee. Her work with the committee helps educate her chapter members and community about having uncomfortable conversations, and how that ultimately creates humanity. Melanie discusses how she defines allyship and why self-education is imperative to being an ally to any marginalized community. Epsilon Rho was the first Panhellenic chapter at USF to have a DEI committee and is now partnering with other chapters on campus to promote education within their communities. She reflects that her leadership and efforts in Tri Delta have shown her how to make positive change and use her voice in an effective manner. </p><p>Follow Epsilon Rho Chapter on Instagram!</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/usfcatridelta/" target="_blank">@usfcatridelta</a></p>

      <title>LEADDDing Through Change: Legacy Policy in Tri Delta</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode explores an important organizational policy change. Tri Delta’s Executive Board has unanimously voted to eliminate collegiate chapter legacy policies, effective July 31, 2021. For many of our sisters this comes as a welcome change, as chapter-level legacy policies have caused a great deal of confusion and have been a barrier to membership for some. And for many of our sisters, we understand that this decision may cause concern and disappointment as these are cherished relationships that we look forward to sharing with our family members.</p><p>Tri Delta acknowledges that this is more than just a policy change, but an organizational cultural shift to be more kind alike to all. Jenni Oaks, Stacey Cox and Karen White each share personal connections and stories about the legacies in their lives and how this change allows for a more equitable recruitment experience. They discuss how removing barriers to membership also opens doors to enable more diversity and opportunity in Tri Delta. </p><p>Following their conversation, we hear from Ainslee Harrison, collegiate chapter president of Theta Zeta Chapter at the University of Texas. Theta Zeta has recently removed preferential treatment of legacies from their policies and the chapter is leading the way with exciting initiatives on diversity, equity and inclusion on the UT campus. </p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As COVID-19 struck the midst of her senior year of college, Julia Sircar, <i>Southern California</i>, was given a rare opportunity in engineering to pitch solutions to the pandemic, including the creation of PPE and developing strategies in virtual learning. This opportunity gave her a positive attitude to move forward to make lasting societal changes in a new normal (3:00). She credits her time and leadership in Tri Delta giving her real-life skills like conflict management and strategic communications that have benefitted her in her professional role as a cyber risk analyst. Julia bravely is making waves in a male-dominated field and encourages women to ensure they have a seat at the table in order to lift each other up and succeed (9:10) This dynamic Delta is one to watch!</p><p>IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/julia_sircar/" target="_blank">Julia_Sircar</a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Elizabeth Curtis, <i>Butler</i>, was first introduced to <a href="https://www.stjude.org/" target="_blank">St. Jude Children's Research Hospital</a> and Tri Delta’s commitment to ending childhood cancer as an undergraduate member. First-hand, she saw the impact Tri Deltas had on the families and children of St. Jude. She then went on to intern twice at St. Jude, conducting research that has helped her on her career path, now a resident physician at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. There she is able to put into place the passions she learned from Tri Delta and St. Jude. She discusses how Tri Delta set her up to be an educator and learner, which she still practices today as a teaching physician. More so, she learned vital confidence and promotes that having ambition and humility don’t have to be at odds. </p><p>Be sure to connect with Elizabeth on social media:</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/egdavis" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/egcurtis/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjow5HWxIXuAhUJ1sAKHacJAzYYABAAGgJpbQ&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQeD2Ty9rtE2f3icJTAgzQGHhEuV8tii-nSd7vb91mH22UzgQxRC7xCOc-QHFHkLQ60FW7n0AWEhfIYN6RxTfvCMC&sig=AOD64_13vHz7oysjUQgW9JPCM8OBT3RVcg&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjKnIjWxIXuAhVIHqwKHS3lB1sQ0Qx6BAgaEAE" target="_blank">Doximity</a></p>

      <title>3 For You: Virtual Recruitment – Lessons Learned</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>As our worlds are becoming increasingly virtual and digital, Tri Deltas have been thriving in adapting to these now normals. The majority of our collegiate chapters experienced a partial or fully-virtual recruitment this fall. Dawson Pressel, <i>Oklahoma</i>, serves as collegiate chapter president and she joins us to share her “3 For You” on executing a great virtual recruitment – for both members and PNMs. She is talks about taking ideas and running with them, including having a technology team who worked behind the scenes to make the experience efficient. Theta Gamma Chapter also developed end of day wrap ups to bring them back to “their why” and focus on the positives. Finally, Dawson shares that this experience brought out more meaningful and authentic conversations with potential members thanks to strong conversation preparations. She hopes chapters take away great learning moments that can be incorporated into future recruitments. </p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/outridelta/" target="_blank">OU Tri Delta</a></p>

They developed the programs “Won’t You Be My Trainer,” “Won’t You Be My Manager” and “Won’t You Be My Volunteer.” Through those simple lessons learned from television as children, they encourage everyone to promote kindness to self and others by remembering to play at work, appreciating the silent moments and loving the work you do. They also emphasize Mr. Rogers’ most important lessons for success: be kind, be kind, be kind. </p><p><a href="https://wontyoube.com/" target="_blank">https://wontyoube.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/altosolutionsllc">https://www.facebook.com/altosolutionsllc</a></p>

      <title>LEADDD Now Conversation - Zakiya Young</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of our LEADDD Now conversations on racism, we are joined by alumna, actress and Broadway star Zakiya Young, <i>Pittsburgh</i>. Zakiya details how she landed into show business and where her career has taken her so far. She and Fraternity President Megan Shaw James, <i>Millsaps</i>, also discuss her experiences as a collegiate Tri Delta – and what it was like to be the only Black woman in a predominantly white chapter. This honest dialogue covers what it’s like to experience bias and microaggressions within a sisterhood, and also how to have the vocabulary, tools and resources to combat and respond. They discuss what allyship looks like today and how to use our voices as women to be heard and seen in society today. Zakiya participated in LEADDD Online and closed our FOCUS 2020 – first virtual Convention – by singing Alpha Theta Phi. She talks about her takeaways from those events and Tri Delta’s LEADDD Now plan to dismantle racism and create a more equitable and inclusive membership experience. </p><p>Read more about <a href="https://imis.tridelta.org/dddimis/Resources/LEADDD_NOW/Events/Resources/LEADDD%20NOW.aspx?hkey=065cc0df-b2e5-423a-b717-6be902fb180c?q=/news/take-action-against-racism/&" target="_blank">LEADDD Now.</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/officialzakiyayoung/" target="_blank">@officialzakiyayoung</a></p>

      <title>LEADDD Now Conversation -  Dr. Diane Petersen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>During LEADDD Online, Tri Delta introduced a series of conversations on racism called LEADDD Now. In this installment, Fraternity President Kimberlee Sullivan, <i>Pepperdine</i>, has a conversation with Dr. Diane Petersen, <i>Ohio Wesleyan</i>, Tri Delta’s first Black member. They discuss the challenges she faced in joining our organization, which wasn’t always kind alike to all. Diane attended college in the 1960s, during the civil rights movement, when not all colleges were integrated – or even open to women attending. She persevered through discrimination on both fronts. She understood the consequences of seeking sorority membership at the time, as it brought ramifications for her and her Delta Upsilon Chapter sisters. Though she and the chapter faced opposition from the national organization, Diane knew she and her sisters had clarity of purpose to stand up for what was right. Through the solidarity and strength of our sisterhood, she made history in Tri Delta. Diane and Kimberlee also discuss the LEADDD Now plan and Tri Delta’s upcoming work to dismantle systemic racism and promote diversity, equity and justice for all as an organization that is kind alike to all. Listen to her inspirational story, with hope for our future. </p>

      <title>Distinguished Deltas: Wendy Sullivan - #imkinderthanthat</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>As our sisterhood knows, kindness has been at the root of Tri Delta from her very beginning in 1888. Sarah Ida Shaw knew it all along, when she and Eleanor Dorcas Pond sought to found a society that should be “kind alike to all.” Tri Delta alumna Wendy Sullivan, California/Los Angeles, created a movement which all started by trying to get her nieces and nephews to be nice to each other.  By focusing on behavior and recognizing “i’m kinder than that,” she made this mantra her mission. Kindness makes you feel good and change your attitudes in more judgmental spaces. Her movement became a nonprofit where she’s been able to speak publicly and encourage others to share #imkinderthanthat. She offers great advice to Tri Deltas of all ages with her message on kindness, empathy and being true to yourself. </p><p><a href="http://www.imkinderthanthat.org/" target="_blank">Imkinderthanthat.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/imkinderthanthat/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/imkinderthanthat/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2203468729974698/" target="_blank">#imkinderthanthat Facebook Group</a></p>

Her movement became a nonprofit where she’s been able to speak publicly and encourage others to share #imkinderthanthat. She offers great advice to Tri Deltas of all ages with her message on kindness, empathy and being true to yourself. </p><p><a href="http://www.imkinderthanthat.org/" target="_blank">Imkinderthanthat.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/imkinderthanthat/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/imkinderthanthat/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2203468729974698/" target="_blank">#imkinderthanthat Facebook Group</a></p>
