HERstory
Our sixteen National Founding Mothers recognized the need for an organization to promote the advancement of South Asian women. These seventeen women from various backgrounds came together with the common goal of uniting women among the South Asian community. Our National Founding Mothers created the backbone of this sorority on the basis of the five pillars of Sisterhood, Respect, Loyalty, Honesty, and Friendship. They envisioned an organization that would highlight the diverse South Asian culture through participation in community and social service projects. Through determination and perseverance, this vision soon became a reality, and now Delta Phi Omega has become one of the most highly sought after organizations for South Asian women across the United States. With each passing year, Delta Phi Omega continues to grow and make its presence known not only within their respective universities but also within the community.
