The Stanford chapter of the Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta) sorority will no longer be housed at their current residence, 702 Bowdoin St., next year after failing to meet University minimum occupancy requirements, according to an email that members of the sorority received.
Members of the sorority met with Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) staff last Tuesday to discuss the change. Although Tri Delta tried to appeal the decision, their attempt was ultimately unsuccessful due to missing the deadline, said member Anna Klein ’28.
“We know this is not the decision you had hoped for; however, we remain committed to supporting your organization during this time of transition and into the future,” wrote Associate Vice Provost Samuel Santos and Fraternity and Sorority Life Director Amanda Rodriguez in the joint email, which The Daily reviewed.
Santos also wrote in an email to The Daily that members who previously planned to live in the house would be able to apply for non-Greek housing using the regular house and room assignment process. Additionally, the sorority will be able to reapply for housing during the 2025-2026 year for the 2026-2027 year.
“Delta Delta Delta is an important part of fraternity and sorority life and Stanford’s residential community,” Santos wrote.
The Daily has reached out to Tri Delta’s leadership for comment.
For Klein, the decision was disappointing. “The hardest part, though, will be attracting new members to the org next year during rush, since having the house is a big attraction,” she said. “There are several people who have already dropped from our pledge class because of the house.”
However, Klein remains optimistic. “Sisterhood is more than just a place, it’s the people,” she said.
