History[edit]

Delta Psi Sigma was established in New York, New York on January 14, 2001. There were five founding sisters: Danna Chang, Kate Chen, Melissa D’Souza, Annie Park, and Michelle Tang. These five founding sisters originated from Buffalo University, Hofstra University, Manhattan College, and New York University, and had a goal to establish a sisterhood to unite sisters from different cultural backgrounds.

Philanthropy[edit]

Delta Psi Sigma's national philanthropies are March of Dimes and Convoy of Hope.

Since the founding of the sorority, Delta Psi Sigma Sorority’s national philanthropy has been March of Dimes. Since the chartering of Delta Psi Sigma’s Boston Chapter, community services have been provided with the purpose to advance March of Dimes’ ‘March for Babies Walk’ every year.

Convoy of Hope has been Delta Psi Sigma Sorority’s national philanthropy since 2017. Across all chapters, the sorority holds events and fundraisers to show its strong support for Convoy of Hope.
