The society aims to promote the study of the German language, literature, and civilization, and endeavors to emphasize those aspects of German life and culture which are of universal value and which contribute to humankind's eternal search for peace and truth. Delta Phi Alpha was founded in 1929 at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where the Alpha Chapter still resides. Currently chapters are active on over 270 college campuses in the United States.

Le daf ou def, duff, deff, defi, defli ou dap est un grand tambour sur cadre de la tradition persane utilisé (comme le zarb) pour accompagner la musique iranienne, mais qui est aussi répandu (sans ses anneaux) du Moyen-Orient notamment en Turquie, en Arménie et en Azerbaïdjan jusqu'à la Sibérie en passant par l'Asie centrale. Il est sans doute à l'origine du tar arabo-andalou répandu au Maghreb et qui a atteint l'Europe médiévale. Il survit encore au Portugal et en Espagne (ainsi qu'au Brésil et au Guatémala) sous le nom d'adufe, mais aussi de pandero ou pandeiro.
