Meet Mallory Westmoreland!Hey! I’m Mallory Westmoreland, a rising senior from Pensacola Florida. I’m a political science major with an art minor. Also, I’m the Philanthropy Chairman for Tri Delta! This summer I’ve been living in Memphis working on campus at the library as the HelpDesk RSA, as well as babysitting three kids of a Rhodes Tri Delta Alum. Additionally, I am a CASA Volunteer-intern, which I trained for in the spring and now continue, so I am in and out of court hearings representing children in Memphis. Other than working I’m visiting San Francisco with my family as well as making trips back to Florida because I miss the beach!
As Philanthropy Chairman, I get to plan amazing events where we get to work closely with St. Jude since we are right here in Memphis. This past spring we had an all chapter tour of the facilities at St. Jude (including the floor that Tri Delta has donated!) so we could see firsthand what our fundraising has been attributed to. Also, we have had events with Target House (the St. Jude outpatient home facilities) where we have arts and crafts time and game nights with the kids and their families. Tri Deltas at Rhodes also participate in other philanthropies that affect the local community. We have weekly afterschool art with one of the local elementary schools for 4th and 5th graders where Tri Delts act as mentors as well as get to spend time with her sisters.
I just recently attended the St. Jude Collegiate Seminar where I interacted with representatives from Tri Delta Chapters all over the nation as well as come into contact with patients from St. Jude. I have learned so much from that experience and can’t wait to get started with this semester! Tri Delta has pledged 10 in 10 (to donate $10 million in ten years, beginning in 2006) but we have already reached 8 million so the updated goal is 10 BY 10 ($10 million by 2010)! I can’t wait to get the baby deltas on board to help out our chapter!!
