National Philanthropy
PROMOTING OSTEOPOROSIS AWARENESS
With a long tradition of contributing to philanthropic service efforts, we provide a platform for sisters to contribute to society through educational awareness programs, community service projects, and fundraising activities.
Our national philanthropic partnership is with American Bone Health to raise awareness for osteoporosis, a disease that disproportionately affects people of Asian descent. In addition, sisters are encouraged to participate in volunteering activities, such as helping out at soup kitchens, community cleanups, free tutoring, and other events directed towards the betterment of their local and regional communities.
By giving their personal time and talents back to the community, our members are rewarded through a sense of purpose and perspective, and it reinforces a lifelong commitment to helping others.
NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY PARTNER
AMERICAN BONE HEALTH (ABH)
We are proud to partner with American Bone Health for our National Philanthropy - Osteoporosis Awareness.
Our collaboration with American Bone Health will raise much-needed funds, engage new audiences, provide opportunities to support American Bone Health in the long term, and help alert others about risk factors and preventative measures. We take our philanthropic responsibility seriously. Rather than simply writing a check, we want to build an ongoing partnership that will continue to deliver tangible benefits to communities across the nation.
​
Our sisters are trained peer educators conducting a number of outreach programs from screenings to workshops for local communities to advocate for living a healthy lifestyle, staying active, and eating more foods with calcium and vitamin D. By doing these preventative measures, individuals may reduce the chance of developing osteoporosis as they grow older - a common disease women, particularly Asian women, have higher risks of developing.

Founders Day Words of Hope
On Founders Day 2020, our members came together virtually to create holiday cards which we sent locally to senior nursing homes as well as children’s hospitals. We wanted to send some holiday cheer to especially those who may have been especially lonely during this holiday season. We also used the opportunity of getting together on Founders Day to chat about memorable DPhiL moments and share our different experiences in the sorority.Â
In addition, we donated $100 worth of non-perishable food items to the Smithtown Emergency Food Pantry and Feeding America.
