Delta Phi Epsilon, also commonly referred to as DPhiE, is one of the 26 sororities that make up the National Panhellenic Conference. Members of Delta Phi Epsilon are commonly known for their trailblazing, courageous, and bright individuals. DPhiE values justice and making their voices heard no matter the situation. Members uplift one another and are bound by their love for each other and their communities.
Delta Phi Epsilon's History
DPhiE was founded on March 17, 1917 at New York University School of Law! The women who founded the sorority did so because there was no inclusive organization for them. These women include: Dorothy Cohen Schwartzman, Minna Goldsmith Mahler, Sylvia Steierman Cohn, Ida Bienstock Landau and Eve Effron Robin.
What is Delta Phi Epsilon's Philanthropy?
Delta Phi Epsilon supports The National Association for Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD). DPhiE committed to ANAD in 1985 and is the first chapter to do so. They believed what mattered was who a person was, not what they looked like, and felt as though this was best reflected in ANAD. Members of DPhiE advocate for healthy attitudes towards bodies and behaviors on their campuses each day.
Delta Phi Epsilon is also committed to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). In 1957 a DPhiE member, Phyllis Kossoff, shared her experience with Cystic Fibrosis, and since then members have supported CFF. DPhiE has donated over $1 million to research with hopes of finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis!
