Service
One of the Sorority’s governing principles is a fundamental commitment to empowering and uplifting the larger community, as well as marked political involvement in order to initiate and promote political change. The Sorority's commitment to the goals stems from the belief that, through personal initiative, the members may, collectively, accomplish great advances at all levels within their communities.
The Lambda Psi Delta Service Program is aimed at encouraging and promoting service and contributions that pertain toits Five Tenets in two (2) key ways:
- Public Service, which refers to our engagement and support of public service initiatives that benefit and uplift women, children and our communities; and
- Political Service, which refers to our active involvement in current political issues that benefit and uplift the larger community.
A key aspect of the Sorority’s National Public and Political Service Program is the initiation and implementation of the Sorority’s own unique service programs in which its Sorors and Chapters engage in as part of its commitment to the community. Such commitment to original programming is evidenced by such programs as: the LPsiD College Resource Center; Unity Day; and the Sorority’s unique and proprietary Educational Campaigns, which address current societal concerns.
The Sorority's National Public and Political Service Program is designed around its Focus Initiatives, which address timely public and political service concerns within our communities. Our Current Focus Initiatives include: and Multiple Sclerosis Research and Development, and STEP UP – SPEAK OUT! Bullying Awareness and Prevention Campaign – a partnership initiative with Omega Phi Chi Sorority, Inc.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.”
—Peregrine, Sir Worsthorne (b. 1923)
“The masochist: “I send my tormentor hurrying hither and thither in the service of my suffering and desire.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
