House News

The Cornell University Tri-Delta sorority house is located at 118 Triphammer Road in Ithaca, New York. According to the May 27, 1937 issues of the Cornell Alumni News, construction on Delta Delta Delta was started in 1937 after the demolition of the former house which was located on the property. The house was originally built for the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority. Many of the original architectural details still exist and effort has been made to match the architectural style of the building during modifications and repairs. The building is under the jurisdiction of the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission, requiring approval for any exterior modifications. You can see photos of the interior of the house below. As mentioned in our newsletters, with your help the House Corporation has completed many renovation projects over the years. Last summer we tackled the problem of  water leaking into the basement and chapter room. Future projects include renovating the living room and the kitchen and replacing windows around the house! Please get in touch with us if you are interested in serving on the Property Committee and helping with these projects. Thanks to your donations these renovations are possible!
