Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to be of South Asian descent to join Delta Phi Omega?
A: No! While Delta Phi Omega is a South Asian interest organization, it is open to women of all backgrounds. We have sisters of all races and ethnicities and encourage any woman looking for a place to learn about herself, where she can be part of a sisterhood and gain skills to succeed in her future, to look into joining.
Q: Is there a minimum GPA requirement?
A: Many sororities follow the guidelines set by their national organizations when deciding to offer invitations and bids. It is also important to note that very few grade exceptions are made by each chapter or colony. For the Zeta Chapter, we wish for all girls interested in joining to have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA. All girls must also be enrolled as full-timed students and must have completed a minimum of 12 credits. First year students must wait until their second semester to join. If you have any further questions or do not meet this requirement, please contact the Recruitment Chair and they will discuss this in further detail to ensure you fully consider all options. ​
Q: What happens during pledging?
A: Delta Phi Omega's intake (or pledging) is referred to as the new member education process. During this time women interested in joining will learn the history and foundation of the organization, about herself and how to be a sister of this sorority.
Q: What is the difference between joining Delta Phi Omega and any other cultural organization?
A: Delta Phi Omega can provide you with all of the opportunities from the other organizations through one central venue. As a social, cultural and community service based sorority, the organization touches base with each aspect of university life. Additionally, DPO has countless opportunities for growth and leadership and builds relationships for LIFE. Membership with Delta Phi Omega does not end when one graduates, we strongly believe that sisterhood is a journey beyond college.
