The mission of Delta Psi Sigma Sorority is to unite college women from various campuses to encourage & motivate academic achievement & cultural diversity, promote sisterhood, guidance, love and friendship amongst our sisters & to provide service to our community.
History
Delta Psi Sigma emerged as a vision of sisterhood in the summer of 2000. Delta Psi Sigma’s founding sisters have established a sisterhood to unite sisters from different cultural backgrounds. The founding sisters, Ms. Kate Chen, Ms. Danna Chang, Ms. Melissa D’Souza, Ms. Annie Park and Ms. Michelle Tang share a common vision of true unity, mutual trust & everlasting friendship through a network of sisters who originate from different schools & different countries. The founding class originates from four different schools: Buffalo University, Hofstra University, Manhattan College, and New York University. Delta Psi Sigma is the sole social, and service sorority to have such a diversified founding class. Delta Psi Sigma will be the first sorority to have a founding class from different schools and welcomes any girl who is ambitious and determined to join us in our special vision of sisterhood.
