Delta Phi Lambda

Delta Phi Lambda was founded on December 5, 1998 at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia,[9][1][10] by seven students:

• Anh Ngoc Nguyen
• Theresa Sung
• Sarah Chong Mi Cho
• Carmela de Guzman

The organization was established to advocate for awareness of Asian students, promote camaraderie among Asians, and educate other students about Asian culture.[9][11] In addition to increasing Asian awareness, the organization’s mission statement says that Delta Phi Lambda “empowers women leaders through its value-based programs, and forges everlasting sisterhood through shared experiences.”[9] The organization’s virtues are loyalty, honesty, respect, dedication, integrity, discipline, and academic excellence.[12]

In 2010, the Delta Phi Lambda Foundation was founded. The foundation is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Delta Phi Lambda sorority. It provides scholarships and funding for Delta Phi Lambda members.[13] In the same year, the Delta Phi Lambda charter at the University of West Florida became the first MGC-affiliated organization on campus.[14]

In 2020, The University of Tennessee's Delta Phi Lambda chapter became the university's first Asian-interest sorority and the first national Asian interest group on any campus in the state of Tennessee.[15][16][17]

One of Delta Phi Lambda's focus areas is osteoporosis awareness and prevention.[18] The organization is partnered with American Bone Health.[19][20] Delta Phi Lambda has also held seminars to increase awareness of sex trafficking.[21]

In 2008, Delta Phi Lambda sponsored a lecture by television journalist Lisa Ling at the University of Cincinnati.[22]

Delta Phi Lambda also was one of the organizations that volunteered for the 2017 Chicago Marathon.[23]
