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:
“In the service of Caesar, everything is legitimate.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You had to face your ends when young
‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
But never made a poorer song
That you might have a heavier purse,
Nor gave loud service to a cause
That you might have a troop of friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
