Tri Delta Living

A New Home for North Dakota State
“A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every aspect of the home is thoughtfully decorated, including the hallway that connects the foyer to the living rooms and dining room
n the case of Epsilon Omicron Chapter at North Dakota
State University, their house started out as a dream, became walls and beams and now, just four years after its founding, is a reality. It is also called “home” to the very first group of Tri Deltas to live there, moving into the house to start this school year in August 2022. We are so excited for this chapter to experience the sisterhood and belonging that comes with living in their very own house!
This 9,500 square-foot, fully accessible house is unique in design—veering away from the traditional sorority home to a modern farmhouse style—perfect for the Fargo neighborhood in which it stands.
When you enter the home, you’ll first notice a Tri Delta crest statement piece of art. The foyer is also graced by an antique table and mirror, generously donated by Theta Sigma Chapter and alumnae from Grand Forks, North Dakota. A pass-through fireplace is the heart of the house and Delta-shaped tile details and navy painted cabinets bring a fun pop of color to the farmhouse style.
The space is complete with a multipurpose room for dining, studying and chapter meetings, an oversized TV room, and a light and bright, stunning second floor living room that looks down onto the first floor. The house, which has the capacity to house 21 residents, also features residential bathroom space, a house director’s suite, a conference room that can be converted to a residential space with a fully accessible private bathroom, and onsite parking.
We look forward to watching Epsilon Omicron Chapter create lifelong memories at the home on University Drive! Want to take a virtual tour of the house? Scan this code:
Welcome home, Epsilon Upsilon!
Founded in spring 2018, Epsilon Upsilon Chapter at the University of Delaware embodies the story of no space to commercial space to the perfect space!
The chapter reached out to Tri Delta Housing in 2019. Working with the constraints of a university where oncampus Greek houses aren’t the norm, Tri Delta Housing got creative with outof-the-box thinking. With the help of a commercial real estate agent to find a space to lease close to campus, Tri Delta Housing found a commercial space on the first floor of a building with apartments above. The location was perfect—off Main Street in the heart of the town center.
The chapter’s future lodge was fully renovated and thoughtfully decorated. Goodbye, brown tile and dirty laminate floor. Hello, bright and modern! The revamped space has nooks where members can relax and socialize, a kitchenette and study room, two bathrooms and a controlled-access security system.
Chapter members dedicated themselves to the prospect of their new home, funding it faithfully for over a year through a capital improvement fee to seed this project. Senior members saw this as an investment that would enhance their chapter, as they knew they would be alumnae when the project was completed.
