Psi Lambda Xi
Psi Lambda Xi Sorority was founded by 10 DePauw students in March of 2007 to encourage sisterhood and to promote positive self concepts in each other, in the University and in the community through local philanthropic efforts. Psi Lambda Xi is DePauw’s local sorority. Additionally, Psi Lambda Xi is a non-residential sorority, not part of a governing council or any national organization. Those local philanthropic efforts include their annual support for Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.
