On October 10, 2000 our 11 founding mothers began their journey to bring their vision of "divine cultural ladies" to the University of Arizona. Last year, marked our 10 year anniversary! In those 10 years the ladies of Delta Chi Lambda have surpassed the dreams of our founding mothers and brought our sisterhood, leadership and academic excellence to the regional level opening chapters at Arizona State University (ASU) and Northern Arizona University (NAU). In 2012, we hope to continue to strengthen our sisterhood and are excited for the experiences our new members will have in the upcoming months.

Some have asked me... "Why should I join Delta Chi Lambda?" And I always have pride in telling them that we are a diverse organization full of motivated and classy ladies who support one another and are proud of what they achieve. As a member and previous president of Alpha Chapter, I have been able to see the rapid growth of the organization and know the current and future sisters will bring Delta Chi Lambda to levels I could never have imagined. Delta Chi Lambda is no ordinary sisterhood and will provide you with experiences that college alone could not give you.

Benefits for joining:

-Lifelong sisterhood

-Our chapters have been recognized for academic excellence. ASU was recently awarded the highest overall GPA in their Greek council.

- A home away from home with many sisters to build friendships with and support you throughout your academic career.

- Large network of professional sisters with degrees ranging everywhere from business to nursing.

-We are actively involved in philanthropic events and hold annual Basketball and Football tournaments to benefit local organizations.

-Sisters learn time management and leadership skills through active involvement in various chapter positions.

-Involvement in the University and local community.

-We are the only Asian-interest organization to have chapters in all three Arizona Universities

Congratulations everyone for all that you have achieved! As for our future members, you will not regret choosing Delta Chi Lambda and will truely have a once in a lifetime experience.
