In December 2007, the notion was set forth of starting a new South Asian sisterhood at the University of Georgia. After a year of dedication, perseverance, and patience, the interest group was established at the University of Georgia. The Fortitude Founding Mothers established a foundation to voice South Asian concerns and become actively involved with the Greek community. They not only felt compelled to aid their community, but also to self explore and initiate the start of an everlasting sisterhood. How little these women knew that they would pave the way of a new era and legacy.

The five founding mothers of the Omicron Chapter were warmly welcomed into the Delta Phi Omega family on July 14th, 2009. With the hard work and Greek support on campus, they became recognized by the Multicultural Greek Council at the University of Georgia on October 5th, 2010. Today, the Omicron Chapter stands 26 lines and 146 members strong, each sister embodying the ideals of leadership, service, academics, and sisterhood. The chapter demonstrates and continues the national legacy of being the strongest, largest, and fastest-growing sorority of its kind.
