Collegiate Chapter

The Omega Chapter at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA receives support from the Palo Alto and San Jose TriDelta alumnae chapters.

The Omega Chapter of Delta Delta Delta began as the Manteista Club on January 16, 1909. The first pledge class was composed of 26 honorable women. The Pi Chapter from Berkeley sent 13 women by train to assist with induction and to welcome their new sisters to Delta Delta Delta. Haus Mitte on Mayfield is the former Tri-Delta house.

In 1944, all nine panhellenic groups at Stanford ceased to exist as a result of an edict from the Stanford Board of Trustees which outlawed women's fraternities. In 1977, Stanford lifted its ban on sororities (provided they were unhoused). Then in 1984, a group of four women, Stacey Torres, Jill Nelson, Aleka Doumas, and Margo Wright saw a need for a new sorority on campus. They petitioned the Delta Delta Delta National Fraternity and were granted a charter. In December of 1984, 44 women were initiated with the help of local alumnae and women from the Pi Chapter. Ever since the re-instatement of the Omega chapter, the women of Tri Delta have reflected the ideals of sisterhood, achievement, and social awareness.

In 1998, the Omega Chapter of Delta Delta Delta won the privilege to have a chapter house.
