[edit] Mission Statement
Delta Lambda Chi aspires to bond dignified individuals who are dedicated to the values of moral excellence and everlasting sisterhood. As we strive to elicit the highest quality in service, leadership, and academic aptitude, we also commit ourselves to experiences that enhance our character and enrich our minds. The memories we share mark an indelible journey through our college years that is symbolic of loyalty, perseverance, and personal achievement.
[edit] History
Delta Lambda Chi was established on February 9, 2002 at the University of California, Irvine by the following nine founding sisters:
- Christine M. Lee (Founder)
- Anne Wynne
- Brooke Armour
- Hailin Koo
- Jennifer Chun-Yi Ouyang
- J. Dien
- R. Flores
- R. Koo
- T. Hu.
The organization was established with the intention of fostering meaningful development in its members by encouraging unity, integrity, and mental acuity. By creating a diverse environment, Delta Lambda Chi intends to prepare its members for challenges outside the organization by developing necessary skills and traits that transcend the bonds of sisterhood. With its promising purpose and five years of development, DLC is now beginning to expand to other college campuses.
With its motto being "Reach for the Stars, but Remain Down to Earth," DLC ultimately aims to develop well-rounded women by creating a solid network of distinguished females that strive for success. As a sisterhood, these women create an environment that ideally lends to one another's aspirations by offering continual support and understanding towards each sister.
[edit] Philanthropy
Delta Lambda Chi not only aims to promote personal/social growth, but as an organization, it aims to promote awareness by being involved with the community. DLC has actively participated in the following philanthropic/community service events:
- AIDS Walk
- Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
- Buddy Walk by The Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles
- Heal the Bay Beach Cleanups
- Revlon Run/Walk for Women

Along with participating in community events, DLC recently adopted the Make-A-Wish Foundation as its All-Chapter Benefit Charity. The organization donates to the cause annually and desires to soon host events to benefit the foundation.
