Historical Origin
Delta Phi Omega
Sorority, Inc. was established on December 6, 1998 at the University of Houston
by seventeen South Asian women who recognized the need for an organization to
promote the advancement of South Asian women. Seventeen women from various backgrounds
came together with the common goal of uniting women among the South Asian community.
The Founders created the backbone of this sorority on the basis of the five
pillars of Sisterhood, Respect, Loyalty, Honesty, and Friendship. They envisioned
an organization that would highlight the diverse Indian culture through participation
in community and social service projects

Through determination and perseverance, this vision evolved into a reality and
as a result has become a highly sought after organization 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.
Delta Phi Omega
has expanded to include 23 chapters and colonies, including the newest addition
to the sisterhood, Texas A&M University. The women of Delta Phi
Omega understand that only through hard work, optimism, and a pure vision
will the notion of sisterhood among South Asians prevail.
