University of Pittsburgh- Eta Chapter

As an organization, we strive to build an environment where our goals and purposes can be nurtured and fulfilled in a positive manner. In order for our girls to fulfill their own personal goals as members of Delta Phi Epsilon and to contribute to their personal growth and development, Delta Phi Epsilon provides a membership development program for all collegiate members called the PEARL Program (Personal Enrichment Activities for Responsible Living). The PEARL Program is the foundation of all chapter programming.

In order for the sorority to function as a family and have an environment that fosters positive personal and group development, the chapter itself must be strong. Individual sisters must have the skills to manage the affairs of the chapter and lead their fellow sisters. All members must have knowledge of how the sorority operates and what are the expectations are of the members. Sisters must also have an understanding of the Greek system, the benefits of being in a sorority, and the policies relating to Greek life. A strong sorority experience involves mutual friendship, support between members, and activities that increase the bonds of sisterhood.

In today’s world a woman can be so many things. You can be a friend, be a mother, be a teacher, or even be the president for example. Delta Phi Epsilon encourages each sister to above all else, be true to who you are.

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.

Delta Phi Epsilon was formed “for the purpose of promoting good fellowship among sorority women... to help... in acquiring knowledge, appreciation, discriminating judgment, and a true feeling of sisterly love through the interaction of sympathetic and friendly natures.”
