Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. is an Asian inclusive, not Asian exclusive, sorority that advocates for Asian awareness, empowers women leaders, and forges Everlasting Sisterhood.

Message from the Chapter President

Hello! My name is Olivia and I am the President of the Rho Chapter of Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. here at UConn! As an out of state student, college represented a fresh start for me. While I spent a lot of my freshman year keeping to myself, I knew I wanted to push my boundaries and get more involved during my sophomore year. I was immediately drawn to the sorority’s welcoming environment and its commitment to promoting Asian awareness and celebrating the diverse cultures across Asia. Coming from a smaller Asian community back home, I knew I wanted to be part of something that not only represented my heritage but also fostered a sense of unity and empowerment. DPhiL has introduced me to a vibrant and supportive community, both within and beyond our chapter. Through my involvement, I’ve gained invaluable leadership and interpersonal skills that will for sure benefit me long after college, and I’ve found confidence in myself with the support of my sisters. I love being able to work alongside such driven and compassionate women as we strive toward shared goals and grow together throughout college!

President: Olivia Conte
