Stockton University is bringing a new sorority to campus next semester, Delta Phi Epsilon, which is also known as DPhiE. On Tuesday, I went to an interest meeting about being a founding member of this sorority at Stockton.

The opportunity to be a founder of a sorority is amazing. As a founder, you would get to decide how you want the sorority to be seen here on campus. You would be able to create a lasting impression about what it means to be a sister of this sorority on the Stockton campus. Founders get to choose things such the annual events of the sorority and how the process recruitment will be done each year.

Even more amazing than being the founder of a sorority is the opportunity to be a sister of DPhiE. The sorority’s motto is “Esse Quam Videri” which means, “To be rather than seem to be”. DPhiE sisters aim to be the best possible versions of themselves. They do not want people to change in order to fit into some kind of “sorority girl mold”. They know that every person is wonderful in their own way and they strive to bring out the best in everyone.

DPhiE works with two philanthropies: The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD). Both of these philanthropies are dear to the hearts of the DPhiE sisters as they personally relate to alumni of the sorority. When raising money for ANAD, DPhiE sisters host events that are all about loving yourself. The huge emphasis that they put on being comfortable in your own skin really makes DPhiE stand out. This idea draws people to the sorority who otherwise would have never even considered being involved in Greek life.

On top of that, their mascot is the unicorn.

DPhiE will start recruitment events in search for founding members at the beginning of the Fall 2015 semester.
