​Scholarship
DSU sorority women take great pride in our level of scholastic achievement. Both the new member and the all-Panhellenic grade point averages exceed the university all-women’s average. Sororities place great emphasis on encouraging, developing, and maintaining academic progress. Tutors, study programs, and other incentives provided by each chapter are indicative of this goal. Additionally, time management skills of sorority women improve as they work to attain desired scholastic goals while meeting chapter responsibilities.

​Leadership
Sorority membership offers women a variety of positions to sharpen skills as leaders. Sorority women can be found in the Student Government Association, academic and leadership honors, and also representing DSU as Student Ambassadors. Sorority women don’t just belong to these organizations; many hold the highest leadership positions. Sorority membership catapults women into these positions through experience shared by older members. Involvement and active participation in activities enable sorority women to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the fast paced job market of today.

​Social
The DSU sorority system provides a diverse selection of events to expose members to a wide variety of social programs. Formals, Homecoming, Greek Week, and chapter retreats all support the goal of bringing women together to develop the bonds of friendship. Development of values, traditions, and honor contribute to the Panhellenic Commitment of social programs enabling personal development. All sororities maintain a responsible social policy promoting Panhellenic standards for careful planning of safe social activities.

Philanthropy
DSU Panhellenic chapters support a strong tradition of service to our campus and community. Each year sorority women donate thousands of dollars and, more importantly, thousands of hours to various charities. Each sorority focuses on national philanthropies, but all donate services to several local agencies. Because of strength in numbers and organizational qualities found in sororities, these women achieve great success in efforts to aid in community. The Panhellenic system has adopted several projects in which all sorority women assist with their talents. Last year’s service and fundraising projects included a Halloween Trunk-or-Treat for Faculty, Staff, and Alumnae children, donations to the local homeless shelter, Walk It Out and Relay For Life.
