National Philanthropy
The philanthropy programs of Delta Phi Lambda focus on helping the community on national and local levels. We support programs that promote the well-being of our community because they represent the future of our society.
Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention is Delta Phi Lambda’s national philanthropy. Our philanthropy is unique to the Greek community because of its preventative stance. We advocate living a healthy lifestyle and educating our youth to take preventive measures now so that they may reduce the chance of developing problems as they grow older. We strive to raise awareness on this subject, host events and conduct projects to raise money for different organizations focusing on Osteoporosis, but most importantly our partnership with American Bone Health. Women are at a substantially higher risk of suffering from low bone density. In addition, due to their smaller frames and diet, Asian women are at a higher risk of brittle bones and preventative measures should be taken now in our early adulthood.

Chapter Philanthropy
The sisters of the University at Albany, Mu Chapter of Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. regards sexual assault as a major issue affecting both men and women especially on college campuses. As our chapter's philanthropy, sisters strive to raise awareness and stand with the victims and survivors of sexual assault through programming and exhibiting.
As dedicated female leaders, sisters encourage others to speak up, in addition to making sure they know they're not alone. During off campus events sisters make sure to be empowered bystanders not only to people they know but anyone who needs help out of a potentially dangerous situation. Given each situation is different, sisters forward anyone affected by any form of sexual violence (one being sexual assault) to a variety of resources on and off campus where they can confidentially confide the event to an advocate, take legal action if they chose to do so, or utilize any other resources such as academic or residential accommodations. Change doesn't happen overnight, but raising awareness and supporting victims and survivors of sexual assault brings us all a step closer to having a larger impact on our community and eventually the world.
