User:Mynewname123/Delta Chi Lambda

Delta Chi Lambda is an Asian Interest Sorority that originated at The University of Arizona. Since the college experience can be overwhelming, the organization wanted to create a "home away from home" for its members. They wanted their sisters to beable to enjoy the "Greek" experience without having to conform or change themselves to "fit in." Delta Chi Lambda allowed them to be proud of their Asian culture and have a voice in Panhellenic along with the other 14 sororities on campus. They welcome all women pursuing an education and feel that they have worthwhile assets to contribute to DChiL as well as the community and the campus itself. They take pride in their honesty, loyalty, and friendship while supporting one another in leadership, academic excellence, and success.

Mission Statement
Delta Chi Lambda seeks to bring positive Asian American awareness to the University and local community. We strongly emphasize leadership roles among Asian Americans by striving to become leaders and mature young women through our activities. We provide our sisters with a lifetime of sisterhood and loyalty that will endure for years after they leave the university.

History
It started out as a vision that eleven friends had at the University of Arizona. They wanted to bring an organization that promoted not only positive Asian American awareness, but emphasized exceptional leadership development at the University of Arizona. Since the college experience can be overwhelming, they also wanted to create a sisterhood that was like a family away from home for their sisters. On October 12, 2000, the eleven Founding Mothers came together and began their journey. After many months of sisterhood, research and dedication Delta Chi Lambda was born. With the help of their advisor Wellington Chu, the proper steps were taken to build the backbone of what is now DChiL. Official recognition at the University of Arizona under Panhellenic took place in June 2002. As the sisterhood flourished, Delta Chi Lambda saw the need for Expansion and the National Board was established in May 2009
