#IAmTriDelta Positive


Holly Hawkins is a sophomore, kinesiology major from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Holly currently serves as our Body Image Coordinator. On campus, she is involved in the Student Government Association, Eagle Connection, and GEWW crew.

Holly believes Phi Epsilon is unique because we encourage those around us to embrace who God has created us to be.
"Because of their steadfast love and encouragement, I have grown to be the woman and leader that God made me to be because of Phi Epsilon."

In her position as Body Image Coordinator, Holly believes that she has been able to encourage the chapter to see themselves as unique and individual.
"Society paints a picture of a stereotypical woman, it makes it hard for girls to love the way God made them. Through Tri Delta's Body Image campaign, I help to show women that they are more than just the mold society expects them to fit into. They are beautiful in their own, unique way."

#IAmTriDelta Serving


Leah Sandoz is a junior, nursing major from Long Beach, Mississippi. She currently serves as our Panhellenic Delegate and attends CPC meetings every week with our president, Caroline. On campus Leah is involved in the National Society of Leadership and Success and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.

Leah believes that joining a sorority is different than joining other organizations. She believes that its empowering to be surrounded by a group of young women.
"Joining a sorority and being surrounded by a group of women, helps you to shine as a woman."

Tri Delta is unique to Leah because we strive to live by the values we were founded on in 1888.
"We are still held to the high standards that we were founded on. We strive to uphold our core values. I have grown in Tri Delta because these women have pushed me to go outside of my comfort zone. They have encouraged me to take on leadership roles and become involved."

Leah is a piece of our Phi Epsilon puzzle with her giving heart. She is always willing to help any member with any task.
"I love serving these women because I get the opportunity to learn more about each member. I also know that any one of them would be there to assist me when I need it."

According to Madison, one way that unites all of Phi Epsilon is our philanthropy, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

"St. Jude's is our common love. We are all involved with different activities in and outside of Tri Delta, but we come together because of our passion for the work done at St. Jude's."

Madison's piece to the Phi Epsilon puzzle is her outgoing personality. She loves to connect with people in and outside of Tri Delta.
