DELTA PHI EPSILON

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.

On May 15th, 1995, the 26 Royal Ladies became the Founding Sisters of the Beta Upsilon Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon, located in Rochester, New York as apart of Rochester Institute of Technology. For almost 30 years the Beta Upsilon has raised sisters of strong character, bringing the ideals of Sisterhood, Justice, and Love to RIT’s campus and fostering a sisterhood of over 500 members and alumnae.
