Softball
So we didn’t win. That
doesn’t mean that our
girls didn’t put there all
into that game. Cathy
proved herself yet again
to be a fearful force in
softball. Every time either she or Cameryn
came up to bat you could
hear Gamma Phi Beta’s
coaches yelling at their
girls to back up- “She’s a
hitter ladies!”
Maureen made a catch
that made jaws drop;
GPhiB even ap-
plauded after-
ward.
All in all, we did
great. We have
room to im-
prove, but you
always do in sports. The spirit is there, both
on the field and off- seeing as the players had
quite a following of Deltas applauding them
on.

Delta Tri Until I Die
Basketball
AXO has some amazing basketball players,
but that didn’t stop Tri Delta from winning 45
to 31 this past Tuesday (May 11th).
Tri Delta should be proud of it’s players. Pass-
ing was impeccable, aside
from a few minor flying
jumps from AXO’s player
21, and shots you didn’t
think were possible glid-
ing effortlessly into the
basket. Personally, I must
say the highlight of the
game was Melissa losing her contact due to a
minor fall. Sad, yes,
but also inspiring
since she finished
the game, during
which she made
multiple free throw
shots.
We have a team of
champions for bas-
ketball this season.

Kasie Hipp
Roma, Italia
Major: International Studies
What made you decide to go: When I
left for college, I may not have
known my major, the clubs I would
join, or what friends I would make,
but I did know two things- that I
wanted to study abroad and that I
wanted to be an RA (…yes, I am
aware of how geeky I am lol)
Best Moment abroad:
Top three memories-
1) when Lily accidentally mocked
the airport official with her fake
Italian accent,
2) 2) enjoying delicious foods in
both Rome and Lyon with the
amazing Jordan Gomez, and
3) 3)Lily and I’s nightly run past the
Coliseum while listening to the
newest Glee songs.
Would you recommend studying
abroad? WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Are you excited to come home? I am
excited to have one last year to wrap
up my college experience before
moving back to Europe. Plus, I miss
my lil sis.
What did you learn from your adven-
ture abroad? To take life one step at
a time because there is only so much
you can control.
A message to Tri Delta : To be hon-
est, for the last three years I have
been extremely critical of the Greek
system. Before leaving to go abroad I
continuously sold the standard ex-
planation of why I love my chapter
and how the Greek community has
“changed my life for the better,”
blah blah blah. Everyone says it-but
how much is truth and how much is
simple repetition?
Sadly, it took me switching conti-
nents and throwing myself into a
completely different lifestyle to truly
appreciate the sisterhood I’ve always
heard (and talked) about- but at
least I found it. I now feel like one of
those die-hard girls you want to
punch during recruitment; Tri Delta
really has changed my life and I will
always share some of my fondest
memories with girls who I can
(cornily enough) call my sisters.

Senior Week: Leaving Behind a Legend
Diana Yu
Major: Criminology, Law and Soci-ety, Management Minor
Pledge Class: Beta Delta
After graduation: Working for 2-3 years then eventually going back to school
Favorite DDD Memories: Too many to name....just the overall love and support I have received from my sisters these past four years
Words of Wisdom: Get involve- what you put in is what you will get out.
Live in the house- it is a great way to become closer to your sisters and so much fun! Get to know everyone in the chapter- even if you are older, or younger, don't be scared to talk to people outside your pledge class or class level.
Final thoughts: I love Tri Delta and I am so sad to be leaving it. =(
Melissa Ann Tom
Major: Social Ecology Pledge Class: Beta Delta
What are you doing after gradua-tion? Currently working as a Behav-ior Technician for children with Au-tism; hoping to one day to go back to school for a graduate degree. One of your favorite DDD memo-
ries: I have made so many amazing memories over the last four years
that it is too difficult to choose just one, but I can say that living in the house is an experience I will never
forget. Words of Wisdom? The college
years go by like the blink of an eye, so never pass on any opportunities
and live up every moment. Final Thoughts? My college experi-
ence would not have been the same without Delta Delta Delta. I am so grateful for all the amazing young women I have met and the timeless memories I have made. I wish the best of luck to all my fel-
low graduating sisters; Congratula-tions Class of 2010!
Elizbeth McDuffee
Major: Art History and Interna-tional Studies
Pledge Class: Beta Zeta
After Graduation: Internship and traveling before grad school in fall 2011.
DDD memories: Crush party this winter - amazing!!!
Wisdom: Get to know all your sis-ters. There is a reason that all of us were picked to be Tri Deltas, and give your sisters a chance. These girls will become your closest friends, and you don't want to find that out the last few months of senior year. Get to know your sisters early on and
have a blast with them ALL of your years!

baby!!!!
What are you doing after
graduation? Traveling
through Europe, then sub-
stitute teach in LA
One of your favorite DDD
memories: Making pancakes
in the bathrooms the first
year we did DHOP! Haha
Words of Wisdom? Play/
cheer on as many Tri
Delta Sports as possible!
Final Thoughts? Spend as
much time with your
sisters as possible, be-

Kimsa Truong
Major: Art History
Pledge Class: Beta
Zeta
What are you doing
after graduation?
SPOP, LSAT Class
and finding a grown
up job (let me know if you of anyone
hiring).
One of your favorite DDD memories:
I don't know which one to choose.
Every moment I've had with my sis-
ters have always been my favorite.
Words of Wisdom? Don't forget Tri
Delta's purpose! It's lengthy and diffi-
cult to remember, but it's what a lot
of women aim for when they go to
college (a stronger more womanly
character not, democratic leadership
abilities, healthy friendships and a
broader and more intellectual and
moral life). We are on this campus
and top house for a reason and I
truly believe that it's because every-
thing we do is a reflection of our pur-
pose.
Final Thoughts? Try your best to
love everything and everyone to the
best of your ability. You may not be
able to fully understand someone or
something or walk in a persons
shoes, but the effort you put forth to
get to know someone and love them
with all your heart makes a huge
difference. Love is something you've
known since always, in your dreams.
Chloe Brown
Major: International Studies
Pledge Class: BETA ZETA
What are you doing after graduation? Working in Culver City at an art
gallery. Assistant to an art con-sultant and keeping showroom organized.
One of your favorite DDD memories: My favorite DDD memory was my first retreat in Palm Springs during fireside. It was a time when the chap-ter became very close and I felt like I really got to know my sisters. Per-sonal thoughts were shared and feel-ing safe to share anything is some-thing I cherish.
Words of Wisdom? I hope the rest of the girls make the most of their years at UCI. Time flies and making lasting memories are the best things to take
away from the college experience.
Final Thoughts? I am glad to have been apart of this chapter and grate-ful to have made many lifelong friends.
