Is it expensive to be in Delta Phi Omega?
While other sororities can have dues that are upwards of $1000, Delta Phi Omega's do not. Our dues are generally about $180 per semester and will cover the costs of national expenses, insurance, and events. We heavily rely on fundraising for remaining costs. We emphasize that finances should never be a reason why a potential sister may not be able to join so for any financial concerns, anyone is more than welcome to reach out to our treasurer!
How will being in Delta Phi Omega affect my grades?
Only in a positive manner! Academia is first and foremost the priority in college, and Delta Phi Omega ensures that a high standard of grades is held. There are mandatory study hours in place, and each sister and new member is required to spend adequate amounts of time studying. Our sorority also provides a huge network of alumna and other active members that can frequently pass down helpful study material, mentorship, and tips for ensuring success.
What is the difference between traditional Panhellenic Sororities and Multicultural Sororities?
The main difference is the focus on culture and diversity. As a multicultural organization, Delta Phi Omega believes in the celebration of different cultures--racial, ethnic, or religious. We are part of the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) on campus. Another difference is the size of our organizations. Multicultural organizations tend to have smaller chapters/charters compared to Panhellenic organizations. Delta Phi Omega believes that sisterhood bonds are stronger and shared with everyone as a result of the size of the sisterhood. Our charters/chapters range from 5 – 45 members at any given time. Lastly, our dues are much less since, majorly speaking, multicultural organizations do not carry the financial burden of maintaining privately owned sorority houses and other large expenses that come with large membership numbers.
