Rho Delta Chi (ΡΔΧ) (also known as "Rhos"), is an Asian-interest, but not Asian exclusive, sorority founded at the University of California, Riverside on January 17, 1991. This multicultural sorority that has chartered seven chapters in California and Texas.[1][2]

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 fourteen women called Founding Mothers.

Its Founding Mothers are:

  • Rose An
  • Kathy Bak
  • Janet Fukuhara
  • Kim Hirano
  • Christine Ige Shimane
  • Sue Lee
  • Jackie Phaphui
  • Christine Sato Yamazaki
  • Jina Song
  • Mina Song
  • Stephanie Tanaka Chang
  • Stephanie Uchida Lee
  • Lana Wong
  • Min Yi Kim

Symbols

The founding mothers of the Alpha chapter chose the Greek letters ΡΔΧ in hopes of bringing harmony among all ethnicities. These letters were also chosen to symbolically infer the Latin word "Pax", which means "peace" in English. The sorority's mascot is the white dove. Its colors are dusty rose and teal green. Its flower is a white rose with red trim.

The sorority's pillars are Sisterhood, Scholastics, Service, and Social. Its motto is "Together as One, Striving for Excellence".

Rho Chant

This sorority chant was drafted at the 2012 Rho Delta Chi National Convention through the collaboration of the Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Epsilon chapters. Although the national Rho Chant is used in every chapter, shorter variations may exist among individual chapters. The national Rho Chant is as follows:

Who are we?

Rho D.

D. What?

Delta Chi

One-Nine

Nine-One

Rise Together
Rhos Forever.

Philanthropy

In 2016, Rho Delta Chi established a national philanthropy. Rho Delta Chi's national philanthropy is partnered with the American Lung Association (ALA).
