ΔΔΔ Volunteer HELP KEEP TRI DELTA STRONG R ecent research from the Foundation for Fraternal Excellence, in partnership with the Healthy Minds Study, offers a compelling look into the state of mental health among sorority women nationwide. Drawing on responses from 33,825 women across 135 campuses— including 4,059 sorority members—this study reveals encouraging trends as well as areas for continued growth. e good news: sorority women report stronger mental health than their unaffiliated peers. ey are less likely to experience depression, anxiety, loneliness or suicidal thoughts, and they are more likely to feel a strong sense of belonging, purpose and optimism. ose living in chapter housing also benefit from lower loneliness and higher well-being. However, the research also highlights a need to improve mental health literacy. Sorority women are less likely to recognize signs of distress in themselves or others and are often unaware of available support resources. As alumnae, we have a meaningful role to play. Whether it's supporting mental health programming through donations, sharing resources with chapters, mentoring active members or simply encouraging open, stigma- free conversations—our continued involvement makes a difference. Together, we can help ensure every sister feels seen, supported and empowered. SUPPORTING OUR SISTERS A Look at the Mental Health of Sorority Women
