Rho Delta Chi (ΡΔΧ), also known as "Rhos," is an Asian-interest sorority founded at the University of California, Riverside.[1]

History

Rho Delta Chi was established on January 17, 1991 as the first Asian American sorority at the University of California, Riverside. The sorority was formed by 14 women in order to unite females of different backgrounds through the bonds of sisterhood and to provide services in the best interests of the community as well as the University.

Rho Delta Chi focuses on four pillars: Sisterhood, Service, Scholastics, and Social.

Letters

Our Founding Mothers chose the letters ΡΔΧ (which means PEACE in Latin) in hopes of bringing harmony among all ethnicities.

Rho Chant

Sorority chants are used at meetings, social events, public events, and especially at step shows. Different sororities and fraternities create chants as a response to their organizations being called in a roll call of attending sororities and fraternities. The national Rho Chant is as follows:

Who are we?

Rho D.

D. What?

Delta Chi

One-Nine

Nine-One

Rise Together
 Rhos Forever.

This sorority chant was drafted at the 2012 National Convention held in San Francisco through the collaboration of Alpha, Beta, and Delta chapters along with Epsilon colony. Although the national Rho Chant is used by every chapter, shorter variations exist among individual chapters:

Philanthropy

Beta Chapter
Rho Delta Chi's Beta Chapter at Texas A&M's official philanthropy is Agape Home . Located in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the Agape Home for babies with HIV/AIDS opened in May 1996 as a response to the plight of children impacted by the spread of HIV/AIDS across Thailand. All of the children who come to the Agape Home to live are, or are at risk of being, HIV positive. Many of them have already lost their parents to AIDS, and there are no other options for their care. Rho Delta Chi helps to raise money annually to support the efforts of Agape Home.[2]

Delta Chapter
St. Mary's Interfaith Council is a community center located in Stockton, CA opened in 1955 by Friar Alan McCoy to aid the needs of poor men, women, and children through nurturing self-reliance for a hopeful future by offering food, clothing, medical and dental care, educational programs, and general assistance. In the dining room, Delta Chapter serves its Stockton community directly by aiding the food preparation and distribution for all those that pass through. The University of the Pacific Rhos also fundraise on behalf of St. Mary's in hopes that one day the Stockton community will be able to thrive as it once did.
