From our International Governing Board
I have been asked by our International Governing Board to post this statement. While I am in agreement with the statement, it does not come from me personally. If you have questions or concerns, you may contact the sorority through dphie.org.
"Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority, founded in 1917 at New York University Law School, continues to embrace the principles set forth by five groundbreaking Founders of Justice, Sisterhood, and Love.
Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority is a non-sectarian organization made up of a wide variety of chapters, none belonging to or limited by restrictions of race, creed, culture, or religion. Defined by the very women who are members of each chapter and guided by our
founding principles, our chapters range in size and identity.
The Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority and its International Governing Board strive to provide an environment in which our chapters are comprised of women that live and cherish our motto: Esse Quam Videri: “ to be rather than to seem to be.” This allows us to have chapters of bright, beautiful women who create their own identity, just as our founding sisters did so many years ago.
Through a values-based recruitment program, Delta Phi Epsilon chapters recruit women that are like-minded and share a common vision to set the standard for sisterhood in an ever-changing world. Our Standards of Excellence, PEARL Program, and ritual guide all sisters, collegian and
alumnae alike, towards this vision, along with achievement and growth in their community, their campus, and the world.
The Delta Phi Epsilon International Governing Board is proud that each chapter has and maintains an individual identity within our organization, whether it be as campus scholars, athletes, or those of specific cultures. As an organization, Delta Phi Epsilon does and will not tolerate discrimination in any way, and welcomes women to share in positive sorority experiences. With an unbending dedication to all of our founding principles, we continue to strive to set the standard for sisterhood in an ever-changing world."
