Delta Phi Mu was founded on August 28, 1991 at the West Lafayette Campus of Purdue University in Indiana. Our Founding Sisters saw the need to form an organization that would provide women with the motivation necessary to enhance their academic careers and develop the essential skills necessary for any woman to succeed in the professional world. As the years went on our Latina oriented sorority continued to grow and as our family continued to expand the Distinguished Ladies of Delta Phi Mu realized their moral obligation to all women and communities. By incorporating into their founding principles intercultural exchange, the membership of Delta Phi Mu has been multicultural ever since. Representing many ethnicities and cultures the women of Delta Phi Mu adopted and believed in our second motto: Different Worlds, One Sisterhood!            

Delta Phi Mu is a public service organization governed by our principles of Scholarship, Service and Sisterhood while promoting intercultural exchange. We are founded upon many goals and aspirations that can all be summarized in our motto: La Esperanza Del Futuro Esta En Las Manos De La Mujer!
