Delta Phi Alpha - Lambda Psi Chapter

Congratulations!  The Lambda Psi Chapter was awarded a Chapter grant to sponsor a German dinner at the upcoming IWU German Research Conference!!!

Delta Phi Alpha, a national collegiate German honorary society, seeks to recognize excellence in the study of German and to provide an incentive for higher scholarship. The society aims to promote the study of the German language, literature and civilization and endeavors to emphasize those aspects of German life and culture which are of universal value and which contribute to man's eternal search for peace and truth. Our local chapter of Delta Phi Alpha is the Lambda Psi Chapter.
