Our sixteen National Founding Mothers recognized the need for an organization to promote the advancement of South Asian women. These sixteen women from various backgrounds came together with the common goal of uniting women among the South Asian community. On December 6, 1998 the efforts of these determined women finally resulted in Delta Phi Omega Sorority, Incorporated being established on the University of Houston campus in Houston, Texas.

​​

They envisioned an organization that would highlight the diverse South Asian culture through participation in community and social service projects. Through determination and perseverance, this vision soon became a reality, and now Delta Phi Omega has become one of the most highly sought after organizations for South Asian women across the United States. With each passing year, Delta Phi Omega continues to grow and make its presence known not only within their respective universities but also within the community.

DPO FORMAL

Our Honorable National Founding Mothers started this one of a kind sorority over 20 years ago, and with over 2,500+ Sisters Nationwide! Our National Founding Mothers created the backbone of this sorority on the basis of the five pillars of Sisterhood, Respect, Loyalty, Honesty, and Friendship. As a service, social, and academic based organization, Delta Phi Omega touches base with each aspect of university life. Delta Phi Omega is not just any organization on our campus; it is an elite organization that turns girls into strong independent women that are academically driven and service-oriented.

 

The Sorority is unlike any other…we are truly a family and provide a home away from home. Delta Phi Omega exceeds the typical notions of a sorority by creating women of culture, compassion, dignity, and fortitude.
