Delta Phi Alpha

The Tau Lambda chapter of Delta Phi Alpha (DPA), the National German Honor Society, was established at Oberlin College in 2014 to recognize excellence in the study of German and to provide an incentive for higher scholarship. DPA inductees are typically rising juniors, who have taken two years of college German or their equivalent; who maintain a minimum GPA of B+ in German courses and a minimum cumulative GPA of B-; and who indicate continued interest in the study of German language, literature, and culture. DPA members are eligible to apply for competitive study abroad scholarships, as well as scholarships to support the pursuit of graduate studies and teaching certification in German.
