Delta Phi Nu, is an all women Canadian Fraternity. Delta Phi Nu fraternity was founded on May 14, 2008 in Peterborough Ontario Canada. The founding mothers of Delta Phi Nu are Samantha Price-Rodrigues and Rebecca Caldwell. The fraternity was established during their summer studies at Fleming College in order to encourage women to develop and practice leadership skills, loyalty, and to build self-esteem among many other attributes. Samantha and Rebecca wanted to found an organization that was open to any women of good character regardless of race, religious or cultural background or financial status. Sisters sworn into the sisterhood of Delta Phi Nu agree to abide by the fraternity constitution and to uphold their oaths. They are to strive to be loyal, to obtain knowledge and to persevere where others may not. It is the goal of the Delta Phi Nu fraternity to give opportunity so that women may fulfill these oaths. In doing this, lifelong bonds can develop and personal growth may occur. We are not a fraternity that breaks down women to make them great, we are a fraternity that takes great women and makes them amazing.

She continues to head the fraternity with the help of the national council and its alumna members. Rebecca Caldwell Rebecca currently works, changing lives, as a Registered Nurse.
