We encourage interested women to get to know us through our year-round educational programs, philanthropic activities and social events.

Formal recruitment periods start at the beginning of each semester (January for spring semester, August for fall semester). The recruitment period lasts 2-3 weeks, as it varies per chapter.

Nothing! All recruitment events are FREE for interested women. Sisters will arrange and provide rides, supplies, and food.

Do I have to be Asian to be a member of Delta Phi Lambda?

Absolutely not! As an Asian-interest sorority, we are looking for passionate, dedicated, and spirited young women who will advocate for the minority experience and can bring a unique perspective to the organization. As such, we do not discriminate membership on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status or disability. Undergraduate females from any and all backgrounds who share our values in promoting Asian awareness and female leadership are highly encouraged to participate in recruitment or start a chapter on their campus.

Do I have a chance to receive a bid if I am a junior, senior, international or a non-traditional aged student?

Of course! We do not discriminate on your class standing or age. We have had many sisters initiate into the sorority as a junior, senior, international and non-traditional aged student. They have the same opportunities as lower classmen to receive a bid and to create a memorable sorority experience. Plus, this is an Everlasting Sisterhood. We give many opportunities after graduation to continue giving back to the sorority.
