We study together and offer mentoring opportunities to ensure that our sisters have the strongest academic performance possible. We take pride in the fact that many of our sisters have pursued post-baccalaureate degrees and earned national recognition in their fields of study. Furthermore, many of our sisters in professional fields offer internship, employment, and professional development to our undergraduate sisters.

Q. Your organization is smaller than traditional Greek organizations?..Why Delta Xi Phi?
A. Our organization is small compared to some older, more traditional organizations but that is one of the things that makes us unique. Each of our chapters are small close knit groups of women who become our family away from home. Your daughter may not only gain a new friend but a true sister. We are proud of the fact that our size and diversity brings together women who might never have met and who come to be lifelong friends. We are friends by chance, sisters by choice!

Q. How much does membership cost and where does the money go?
A. The cost of dues for sisters and associate members of Delta Xi Phi are nominal in comparison with other national sororities. None of our chapters have houses which reduces the cost to each sister per semester. The monies from dues support the local chapters and the national organization. These funds provide for our sorority initiatives and programs that we sponsor which include Aids Walk, Take Back the Night, and holiday programs for disadvantaged children. Every sister has the right to request financial records from her chapter and the National Executive Board at anytime. Your daughter will see first hand how her dues are used and the impact they have on the organizations and people we serve.

Q. What about hazing?
A. Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. has a strict zero tolerance policy in regards to hazing. We have adopted a National Policy that details our position and the ramifications for violating the policy. Each sister and associate member has a copy of the policy which is reviewed at least once a year. Our organization also adheres to the guidelines set forth by the Fraternal Information & Programming Group, www.fipg.com. In the event that your daughter has a concern or question you may address those issues with her New Member Educator or the National Membership Coordinator.

Also, we have recently obtained Liability Insurance that protects all of the members of chapters and colonies. The National Board is dedicated to the safety and welfare of our sisters.
