ABOUT US

The mission of Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority is to develop in women a social consciousness and a commitment to think and act for the greater good. We assure continuous development and achievement for women through individual attention and smart strategic growth. 

On March 17, 1917, five women at New York University Law School took a pledge of sisterhood and loyalty and so founded the Alpha Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon, one of the first non-sectarian, social sororities and the only one founded at a professional school. Five years later on March 17, 1922, Delta Phi Epsilon was formally incorporated under laws of the State of New York.

As for the Gamma Epsilon Chapter, an interest group was formed in the fall of 2005 with the determination of expanding Greek Life at the University of New Haven. There were three potential sororities that these wonderful women were presented with, however there was only one sorority that stood out, and that sorority was Delta Phi Epsilon.

An idea of Greek expansion among three girls quickly grew to a colony of twenty-five amazing women, and has flourished into a chapter of strong and independent women.

Delta Phi Epsilon was officially colonized as Colony Xi at the University of New Haven on March 3, 2007.

Once Colonized, we progressed through a long and fulfilling process to the charter here at the university. We officially became the Gamma Epsilon Chapter on May 12, 2007.

Twenty-five goal-oriented, studious, caring women formed the sisterhood of Delta Phi Epsilon here at the University of New Haven and instantly raised the standards of Greek life, community relations, and sisterhood.
