The University of Wyoming’s Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta) sorority will host its annual
24-hour pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, to 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 9,
at the Tri Delta house, located at 1616 Sorority Row.
The event, TriHop, is planned to raise funds for and awareness of St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital.
Tickets are $5 for a one-time entry and $20 for an all-night access ticket. Tickets
can be purchased at the door, from any Tri Delta member or at the pancake breakfast
table located in the Wyoming Union breezeway.
To contribute to the UW Homecoming celebration, there will be entertainment, such
as a live viewing of the football game; a meet-and-greet with Miss Wyoming Jordyn
Hall; karaoke; pancake eating contests; a silent auction and more.
“This event is a favorite for not only the women in our chapter, but for everyone,”
Tri Delta President Jordan Eischen says. “TriHop is a way for the entire UW and Laramie
communities to come together during Homecoming weekend and help out an amazing cause.”
Last year, the UW Tri Delta chapter raised more than $14,000; this year’s goal is
to raise $20,000.
“We take pride in the fact that we are the only Tri Delta chapter that hosts our pancake
breakfast for 24 hours,” Eischen says. “We are so proud to help raise funds to help
end childhood cancer.”
