The purpose of Delta Phi Omega shall be to foster unity among South Asian women, build community awareness, and gain a greater understanding of oneself and others.

The Sisters of Delta Phi Omega strongly believe that a quality education is the key to success, and therefore, should not be taken from any child. Because of this, we have chosen children's literacy and education as our philanthropy. We will focus on promoting education in various ways to help children build a strong foundation for a solid future. We hope to influence not only the OU community, but several communities around the globe as well. Our desire will be reached through participation in reading programs, tutoring, mentoring, and several fundraising events. The sisters of Delta Phi Omega promise that no child will be deprived of this, regardless of race, color, creed, ethnicity, or financial, social, and religious standing.

CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

Nine women created the Theta Chapter of Delta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. Because of them and their hard work and determination, we are proud to finally be a part of such an extraordinary organization that promotes sisterhood, honesty, respect, loyalty, and friendship. The nine founding mothers of Theta Chapter have created a bond of true sisterhood. In such a short period of time, each and every one of us has taken advantage of the opportunity to get to know the other inside and out. We know of every triumph and defeat, of every happy and sad moment.
In the summer of 2002, those nine South Asian women came together in hopes of bringing Delta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. to the University of Oklahoma.

Although the process was challenging and even frustrating at times, it gives us great pleasure to finally say that we are a part of this great sisterhood. The relationships we have formed and will continue to form hold a special place in our hearts. We have been warmly welcomed to the Delta Phi Omega family and to the Greek community at OU. We thank you all for your support, and we promise to uphold the five pillars set by our national founders.
