I am a strong woman with respect for life.
My convictions are unshakable. All who truly know me know this about me. I have chosen to share my life with similar women. Although we are different, in this we are the same. Our unity is our strength. Without it, we can never accomplish anything to the best of our ability. I believe in service. I have dedicated my energy to helping those in need, Whether I know them or not. I strive to be a beacon of hope, in a world where hope is scarce. I want to leave the world in a better place than the way we found it. I hold dearest to my heart, the value of respect. Respect for all accomplishments and downfalls, Similarities and differences, between myself and others. I have taken up the task of working together, to strive for our mutual goals with the aid of teamwork and friendship. I promise to let this task teach me what it can. I have chosen you, you have chosen me. We are strong women with respect for life. Our convictions are unshakable. All who truly know us know this about us. We are the Sisters of Delta Psi Delta.
State the philosophy.
