Since 1914, the Delta Mu Chapter of Delta Delta Delta sorority has been an important part of the University of Alabama. The unprecedented growth in the University’s enrollment over the past few years has increased the chapter’s roll to over 250 members. In response to this growth, the University embarked on a sorority fundraising initiative in which Tri-Delta chose to participate.
The House Corporation retained Treanor Architects from Lawrence, Kansas, and Ellis Architects of Tuscaloosa. The building committee and architects developed a plan that builds a home around the needs and opportunities of the chapter and modern building standards. The style and layout placed an emphasis on enhancing strong sisterhood, serving as an alumnae destination, providing an environment that benefits members’ academic pursuits, and strengthening Tri-Delta’s ties to the University and the community.
