With over 200,000 living initiates at 141 chapters and over $450M assets under management, Tri Delta is one of the largest National Panhellenic Conference greek organizations, and partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in 1999 as the first noncorporation partner to be named the St. Jude partner of the year. The Tri Delta enterprise consists of three separate, not-for-profit entities: Tri Delta Fraternity, Tri Delta’s Foundation, and Tri Delta Housing, supported by Park Street Properties, a property management and employment subsidiary of the fraternity. Together these entities provide the business infrastructure for Tri Delta and its AUM. <--Used here, is AUM a typo for Alumnae?
