Message from the Chapter President

Hello! My name is Aemun, and I am the President of the Radiant Rho Chapter of Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. here at UConn! Coming to UConn as a first generation college student was definitely challenging and scary at first, but during my first week in the fall of 2024, I was immediately drawn to Delta Phi Lambda’s welcoming environment and commitment to promoting Asian awareness and celebrating the diverse cultures across Asia. Growing up in a town with a very small Asian population, I never really had the opportunity to fully showcase, explore, or embrace my culture and Asian heritage. Joining Delta Phi Lambda completely changed that. For the first time, I felt comfortable in my own skin and was surrounded by incredible women who shared similar experiences and stories. Through DPhiL, I have not only found a strong sense of community, but also developed valuable leadership skills that have helped me grow into the person and leader I am today. With the support and encouragement of my sisters, I was able to work my way up to becoming President, and I am incredibly grateful for their constant love and support. Most importantly, I love being surrounded by such amazing women who inspire me every day and have made Delta Phi Lambda feel like a true home away from home.

President: Aemun Burhan
