Tri Delta sorority at Indiana University is being shut down.
According to the sorority’s president Kimberlee Di Fede Sullivan, the organization made the decision to withdraw Delta Omicron’s charter. The IU chapter of Tri Delta is located on the 800 block of E. 3rd Street.
Furthermore, Sullivan said an investigation found members had been involved in “activities that do not represent our high standards or align with Tri Delta’s Purpose – activities that also violated the chapter’s previous probation terms.”
This comes after the Delta Tau Delta fraternity was suspended in January for “multiple instances of hazing.” Similarly, another Indiana fraternity was shut down in 2015, and the school’s Alpha Tau Omega chapter had its charter revoked over a sexually explicit video.

“We are deeply disappointed in the choices made by members of our chapter at Indiana,” said Sullivan. “The decision to withdraw Delta Omicron’s charter was made by the Executive Board, in concert with chapter volunteers, and with heavy hearts for all involved. We will work closely with our collegiate members, and loyal alumnae and Indiana University through this challenging situation.”
Indiana University issued a statement regarding Tri Delta:
“Indiana University has been informed by the national leadership of Tri Delta that it has revoked the charter of the local chapter on the IU Bloomington campus and ordered the chapter to cease all activities and disband effective immediately.
The university supports the right of national organizations to hold chapters accountable to high standards and ethical behavior. There are no current university disciplinary actions against the sorority.”
Tri Delta, or Delta Delta Delta (ΔΔΔ), is an international sorority that was founded on November 27, 1888 at Boston University. It currently boasts more than 200,000 initiates and is one of the largest National Panhellenic Conference sororities in the country.
