Message from the Chapter President
 |
Hi! My name is Sherry Weng, Chapter President of the Rho Chapter of Delta Phi Lambda and I am currently a senior double majoring in Statistics and Sociology. I learned about DPhiL in my first year at UConn through a good friend who was an active sister. I had never imagined that I would join a sorority but after the sisters had welcomed me with open arms during recruitment, I found myself wanting to be surrounded by these amazing women.I grew up in Milford, MA where it was predominately white with a handful of Asians, and felt that there was no one to relate to in terms of my background and culture. The sisters of DPhiL were so welcoming and I instantly felt a connection. Not only did I create strong, everlasting bonds, I learned to embrace my Asian culture and be proud of it. I became a member in the spring semester of my freshman year and since then I have learned how to become a better leader, advocate, and overall well-rounded person. |
