Delta Phi Alpha 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.

To be elected to membership in Delta Phi Alpha, a student must have taken a
minimum of two years of college or university German or their equivalent with the

including the Lambda Eta Chaper at Sweet Briar, established in 2001.
