The Radiant Rho Chapter of Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. was charted at the University of Connecticut on April 10, 2016.

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. We have over 2,000 Initiated Members, 27 Collegiate Chapters, and 6 Alumnae Chapters across the nation.

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
