A Moment With Megan

A Moment WithMegan
Over the last biennium we have gotten to know Fraternity President Megan Shaw James, Millsaps, as a dedicated volunteer, a talented university administrator and a devoted mother and wife. As we kick off the 2022-2024 biennium, we at The Trident wanted to get to know a little more about this amazing Tri Delta leader.
Favorite Tri Delta college memory:
It’s hard to pick just one favorite Tri Delta memory from my collegiate days! Bid Day was always an amazing day of sisterhood. From celebrating another successful recruitment with my class to welcoming our newest members, the day was always filled with excitement, joy and laughter.
Funniest moment on the Executive Board:
One fun fact about the Executive Board is that we LOVE catching up and telling stories when we are together in person! If you walk by my hotel room when we are together for a meeting or event, you’ll most likely hear us all laughing at one of Tycely’s tales.
Favorite Tri Delta symbol:
The pearl. My name, Megan, means “pearl” and my birthstone (June) is also a pearl. It was meant to be that I would join an organization that has the pearl as one of our beloved symbols! I love that the pearl grows from a tiny nucleus into a jewel of great value and strength.
Tri Delta Founder you most identify with:
Sarah Ida Shaw … after all, we both had the same maiden name (Shaw!). I have always been inspired by her creative, strategic visioning and by her steadfast dedication of creating “a society that would be kind alike to all.” Sarah wasn’t afraid of adversity and set forth lofty goals of self-sacrifice and service.
