American South Asian co ed fratnerity

Delta Phi Beta (ΔΦΒ), is an American co ed South Asian fraternity. It was established at the University of California, Berkeley in 1992.

Delta Phi Beta was established on June 15, 1992, at the University of California, Berkeley by South Asian and Asian American students. The fraternity was established as "a reaction against the growing schism forming within the South Asian Community" with hopes that "South Asian people, regardless of religion or country, could communicate their different beliefs". It was the first South Asian (Indian) fraternity in the United States.

Delta Phi Beta's colors are blue and silver. Its symbol is the elephant. Its pillars are community involvement, cultural awareness, academic excellence, and social enhancement.

The fraternity hosts a variety of social events. It also held a Festival of India in 2006 that featured the Indian American performers, including comedian Rasika Mathur and rapper Karmacy. In 2001, the proceeds from Sahayaki went to the India Development and Relief Fund. In 2003, proceeds supported ASHA LA.

Delta Phi Beta is co ed.
