Our Philanthropy:
Children's Education and Literacy.
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. This mission is put to action in every colony and chapter across the United States, creating a collective force of positive social change on both the college campus and surrounding communities. Through our commitment to service, the sisters of Delta Phi Omega reach beyond the spectrum of university life, and actively remain connected to the world around them through proactive efforts of human progress. While the sisters remain active in a range of philanthropic services, the sorority’s paramount objective is to bring awareness and continual support to an often overlooked cause: children’s education and literacy. The children of today are tomorrow’s leaders, but without the skills to unlock their potential, the door to a successful future remains shut. By ensuring each child – regardless of race, religion, or creed – receives a quality education and the power to read, we give them the keys to a limitless future.

Literacy Through Unity Week
Every year, we hold an annual “Literacy Through Unity” Week, which is a series of events dedicated to raise awareness about children’s education and literacy. It also aims to raise donations and funds to give to local charitable organizations affiliated with each corresponding chapter or colony, as well as to one of our national beneficiaries which we choose every year. Sisters nationwide help put together Literacy Through Unity Week at their respective chapter or colony to bring communities as well as students together. Events include seminars, donation drives, days of community service, benefit nights at businesses, bake sales, and more. Over the past years, we have been able to cumulatively raise over $83,000 nationwide.
Be The Change
Be The Change is a national annual day of service coordinated to inspire and foster civic engagement and stronger communities through volunteerism and community service. This event was nationally coordinated by SAALT (South Asian Americans Leading Together) until 2016, and has continued to be a part of Delta Phi Omega’s philanthropic efforts. Be The Change has been an opportunity for South Asian Americans and their allies to engage in collective public service activities that lead to deeper civic engagement, collaboration and unity in localized and national spaces. The event presents an opportunity to be connected, be engaged, and be inspired.
