In February of 1981, the Texas A&M Panhellenic
invited Tri Delta to establish a chapter in College Station. Together the
national officers and Bryan-College Station Alumnae began to prepare for the
Gamma Alpha chapter to be established.
On March 29, 1981, the Gamma Alpha chapter was born, consisting of 92 members.
By the end of April, Gamma Alpha had taken its first few steps toward becoming
a smoothly functioning chapter: officers were chosen, Delta Moms designated,
and true friendships formed.
After three long years of waiting, on August 26, 1984, just in time for the
last night of recruitment, the announcement was made that the Tri Delta house
had been completed and the Gamma Alpha chapter would be able to hold their
final party there!
Twenty-five years later, Gamma Alpha has continued to uphold Tri Delta’s national
reputation of excellence. Our chapter ranks high in grades, places high in inter-sorority
competitions, continues to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and
nurtures the bonds of sisterhood. Gamma Alpha has been and continues to be one of the
most distinguished sororities on the A&M campus. We pride ourselves in the wonderful
women from Texas A&M University that we attract to our chapter.
