BETA DELTA PHI SORORITY
Locally Founded: 1964
Colors: Blue and Gold
Flower: Yellow Rose
Beta Delta Phi Sorority, founded in 1964, is the oldest active organization at Sacred Heart University. The purpose of Beta Delta Phi is to assist Sacred Heart academically, socially, and religiously, although, sisterhood and togetherness are their main goals. These goals are not only attained by community-based projects, but also through social events.
Each year, the sisters of Beta Delta Phi raise money for the Y-Me National Breast Cancer Organization and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The sisters are dedicated to their cause in raising awareness for breast cancer. One of the sorority's major fund-raisers includes the Pink Ribbon Project in which the entire SHU community shows their support.
The sisters of Beta Delta Phi Sorority can always be seen taking part in many of Sacred Heart University's events. The sisters enjoy their annual Christmas party as well as their spring banquet. The spring banquet is Beta's most beloved tradition. Not only is it a time when the new officers are inducted, but it is also a time for sister superlatives: recognizing the Best Sister and Best New Sister of the Year.
When you consider rushing a sorority, think about the traditions that you will be a part of, and all of the memories you will share with your sisters. Remember once you graduate from SHU, you will still be remembered. Beta Delta Phi's alumni advisor helps the sorority keep in touch with their 400+ alumni.
