Student Organizations and Events
German Studies Calendar Campus Events
Thanks to the generous support provided by the German Embassy, the Black German Heritage & Research Association and our German Studies Department, we have been able to hold various events throughout the academic year for students and the community to engage with German culture, news and happenings. Learn more about our recent events.
Delta Phi Alpha
The German Studies Department maintains a chapter of Delta Phi Alpha.
Delta Phi Alpha is a nationally organized honor society that recognizes achievement in German and seeks to promote greater understanding of German life, culture, and language. As the constitution states: "The spirit of German classicism forms a special bond between us. The tolerance of Lessing, the folk-sympathy of Herder, the idealism of Schiller, and the noble humanity of Goethe we treasure among the great constructive forces in the history of mankind."
Awarded a charter in 1930, Davidson College is the fifth oldest chapter in the country.
