"To promote good fellowship among the women students among the various colleges in the country...to create a secret society composed of these women based upon their good moral character, regardless of nationality or creed..."
On March 17, 1917, these five bold women attending New York University School of Law could not find a membership accepting of all backgrounds. So they formed Delta Phi Epsilon with the purpose of accepting all races and religions–one of the first non-sectarian, social sororities to do so.
Today, Delta Phi Epsilon heads into our Centennial year. Since our founding nearly 100 years ago, we have grown into a thriving organization with over 67,000 initiated members and chapters located across the United States and Canada. Sisters find more than a home or friendship in DPhiE.
We find empowerment to live authentic and purposeful lives.
The Delta Iota chapter has always prided itself on our diversity. We love having sisters from different religions and nationalities. We also have the highest GPA of any Greek organization on our campus at Queens College. We've even in the past had an alumni win scholarship money from the Delta Phi Epsilon Education Foundation. Although we are a smaller chapter, we make up for it in big personalities and lots of laughs. We truly are a family!
