III. Summary of Findings
A. Attitude and perception of Delta Delta Delta and today's Greek system
Delta Xi Chapter alumnae interviewed for the feasibility study were asked several
questions concerning their attitudes and perception of the chapter in particular, and
the Greek system as a whole. The answers to these questions are summarized in the
following paragraphs.
Nearly every interviewed alumna spoke to the lifelong friendships created at Tri
Delta, the community it provided while attending Mizzou, and the network after
graduation. A 1960s alumna said, "Because my husband is an engineer, we moved
frequently. Tri Delta offered a new set of friends wherever we relocated." A 1990s
alumna noted, "The biggest impacts Tri Delta had on me were the lifelong
friendships I made in the house and the bond of sisterhood that I get to share with
my biological sisters and now daughter and nieces."
As shown in Chart A, nearly all interviewed alumnae (95%) are either "Very
Interested" or "Interested" in the chapter. This is an above-average level of interest
compared to other feasibility studies completed by Pennington. The responses
suggest alumnae are still engaged with the sorority and want to see its continued
presence at the University of Missouri.
