"I am so excited and honored to now serve as the National President for Delta Zeta. We are entering an exciting chapter in our organization's history thanks to the many volunteers who have provided a solid foundation and visionary leadership for our Sorority. Our Founders have given us a precious gift of sorority and sisterhood - it is up to each of us, alumnae and collegians, to continue to live our lives based on the high standards Delta Zeta was founded on and to make sure that Delta Zeta continues to enrich the lives of our all of members," states Triplett.
