Delta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. was established on December 6, 1998 at the University of Houston by seventeen South Asian women who recognized the need for an organization to promote the advancement and unification of women of all backgrounds. The Founding Mothers created the backbone of this sorority on the basis of the five pillars of Sisterhood, Respect, Loyalty, Honesty, and Friendship. Today, Delta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. is the largest, strongest, fastest-growing South Asian sorority in the nation and has expanded to include 11 chapters and 24 colonies from coast to coast.

Inspired by the vision and accomplishments of the organization, five Founding Mothers set forth to bring Delta Phi Omega to the Emory community. After two and a half years of dedication and perseverance, the Emory University Colony came to fruition in the fall of 2009, making history as Emory's first South Asian Greek Organization. The sisters of the Emory University Colony are now steadfastly working to build a strong foundation for their newly established colony.

PHILANTHROPY

Philanthropy

As a sorority, we believe that a quality education is the key to success, and therefore should not be taken from any child. For this reason we have chosen children's literacy and education as our philanthropy. By ensuring each child, regardless of race, religion, or creed, a quality education and the power to read, we give them the keys to a limitless future. Therefore, the sisters of Delta Phi Omega are doing their part to ensure that each child is given the awesome power to read and obtain a befitting education by educating the public on the epidemic of illiteracy, fundraising for our philanthropic partners, and volunteering in literacy and educational settings.

We also participate in other service events such as the Blood Drive, National Gandhi Day of Service, and volunteer regularly with Hands on Atlanta.

Delta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. is steadfast in its mission to transcend the traditional notions of a sorority by utilizing the power and passion of our sisterhood to create a positive social change on both our college campus and the surrounding communities. Through our commitment to service, the sisters of Delta Phi Omega reach beyond the box of university life, remaining connected to the world around them and proactive in efforts of human progress.

FAQs

Stereotypes

FAQs

1. What is the difference between a cultural Greek organization and one that is not?

At Emory, we have 4 council categories: The Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC), the Inter-Sorority Council (ISC), the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and Multicultural Greek Council (MGC). Emory's cultural Greek organizations are either part of the NPHC or the MGC. These organizations are catered towards a particular purpose, for example the historically African American interest organizations, the Asian interest organization(s), and South Asian interest organization(s). Many of the cultural interest organizations are part of a fairly recent nationwide movement of Greek life catered towards the upliftment of minority students by providing them with the opportunities to find their own niche. These organizations also tend to be quite smaller than the typical fraternity or sorority.

2. How expensive is it to join Delta Phi Omega?

Not expensive! While many sororities have dues of around $3000, DPO dues are far less than this. We aim to keep dues around $150 a semester. These dues cover the costs of national expenses, insurance and hosting events. We rely heavily on fundraising to cover other expenses and to raise funds for various charities.

3. Do I have to be South Asian to Join?

No. While Delta Phi Omega is a South Asian interest organization, it is open to women of all backgrounds. We have sisters of all races and ethnicities and encourage any woman looking for a place to learn about herself, where she can be part of a sisterhood and gain skills to succeed in her future to look into joining.

4. What is the difference between joining Delta Phi Omega and any other cultural organization on campus?

Delta Phi Omega can provide you with all of the opportunities from the other organizations through one central venue. As a social, cultural and community service based sorority, the organization touches base with each aspect of university life. Additionally, DPO has countless opportunities for growth and leadership and builds relationships for LIFE. Membership with Delta Phi Omega does not end when one graduates, we strongly believe that sisterhood is a journey beyond college.

5. How do I join?

We will be having informational sessions on January 26, 2012 & February 2nd, 2012 . Try to attend these to learn more about how to become a member of DPO. If you cannot attend, please get in touch with our Recruitment Chairs, and we will personally share more about our organization. At the beginning of each semester, we will have a recruitment week followed by interviews. If all goes well you will begin the new member education process.

6. What happens during pledging?

Delta Phi Omega's intake (or pledging) is referred to as the new member education process. During this time women interested in joining will learn the history and foundation of the organization, about herself and how to be a sister of this sorority.

7. Why do you have special names and numbers?

Each woman who undergoes the new member education process is given a number and name for internal purposes. Each member has a number, sister name and collective line name. The collective line name is the same for the group of ladies who goes through the process during the same time period. These unique names reflect the identity of each member within the sorority.

8. Is it worth joining DPO as an upperclass student?

Yes! Joining DPO in any stage of your college career can benefit you in many ways. We recognize that post-Baccalaureate programs and employers are searching for graduates who are well-rounded and knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects and issues. Involvement and leadership within the organization will help you develop these skills to use in the real world, and as mentioned before, our sisterhood does not end once a sister graduated.

Myth 1: Sorority Girls = Party Girls

The perception that women in sororities are party girls is outdated and incorrect. Yes, we do like to have a good time but we do so in a manner that separates our personal enjoyment from our professional affiliation with DPO. Delta Phi Omega is a non-profit organization dedicated toward providing its members the skills, experience and networks they need to succeed in their lives. Our activities are conducted in a professional setting with a strong focus on service projects, cultural awareness, and fundraising for our philanthropic cause of children's education and literacy.

Myth 2: Sorority members lack individuality

Another misconception about sororities is that our sisters are "clones" of each other, that we lack individuality. This could not be further from the truth. Sisters of Delta Phi Omega come from a variety of backgrounds and join for a variety of reasons. Just as with other organizations, our sisters share common goals for service, cultural understanding, leadership or all three.

Myth 3: Girls in sororities lack self-esteem

Of all the stereotypes sororities face, the most offensive is the accusation that we are just a group of promiscuous girls with low self-esteem looking for an identity and group to conform to. We are a group of ambitious, well-adjusted women looking for a way to contribute to our community, acquire useful experiences, and gain personal growth -- all while building lasting, beneficial relationships with women who truly want to see you achieve your best.
