The Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation is a key partner with the sorority, working to ensure that women have access to exceptional opportunities to learn and contribute to their communities. We are focused on fundraising to provide scholarships to bright young women and grants to the sorority, our alumnae and our philanthropic partners.  Our foundation mission is to encourage the personal and professional advancement of women by supporting educational and philanthropic programs that are responsive to the needs of our communities.

 

Those are lofty goals that we can only achieve with financial resources from sisters like you.

To encourage the personal and professional advancement of women by supporting educational and philanthropic programs that are responsive to the needs of our communities.

 

A Message from the Educational Foundation President
It is an exciting time to be involved with the Educational Foundation, and this is my special invitation to you to get involved today.

 

Since 1967, the Educational Foundation has provided scholarship opportunities for young women—some sisters and some legacies—to pursue higher education at all levels. Each year the number of applications exceeds the funds available, causing us to turn away deserving recipients in need of financial support to achieve education. Some of these young women may not know where the next tuition payment will come from without your support.

 

Now the foundation is pursuing bigger aspirations. We want to provide more funding for sorority and alumnae programs, growing the sorority's impact on the world. By providing grants for educational programming and other needs, the Educational Foundation partners with the sorority to ensure the strength of our sisterhood in the years leading up to our centennial celebration and beyond.

 

With your help, women will achieve their dreams!

 

No matter the level, every gift to the Educational Foundation is important to our future as a sisterhood. I hope that I can count on your participation and encouragement as we strive to meet the needs of the sorority, our sisters and our community. Please make a gift today.

 

The foundation's web presence offers a wealth of information about the women we support and ways to give. Please take the opportunity to give online by following the link to our secure giving form. We will also be delighted to accept your gift via check to the Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation at Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation, 251 S. Camac Street, Philadelphia PA 19107.

 

Together, we can make a difference.

 

Yours in true sisterhood,

 

Heather Locke Green, Beta Chi Chapter, Educational Foundation President

Since 1917, Delta Phi Epsilon sisters have been providing a sense of belonging for women.  

We have inspired our women to believe in our motto—Esse Quam Videri.    

We have encouraged women to be their best selves.    

And in 1967, the Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation was founded to help women advance their personal and professional achievements through scholarships and donations. 


IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL...   


DIMES 4 DPhiE is a fundraising initiative held during the month of March to commemorate our Founders, the DIMES; Dorothy, Ida, Minna, Eve and Sylvia.    


Last year was our first ever campaign and with the help of hundreds of donors (more than 600) we were able to raise nearly $35,000 for educational programming and scholarships to advance leadership in our members.   


Let your involvement in DIMES for DPhiE be the way you honor your membership this year. Hold campus fundraisers, request friends and family donate to the foundation in your honor—a $19.17 donation (or more!) will help DPhiE become even better and stronger.    


This year, we have set our sights high! In order to meet our aggressive goal of raising $50,000 and at least 10 collegiate chapters participating at 100%, we need the support of our chapters and alumnae. Chapters can achieve 100% participation by having each member donate at least $19.17 to support the foundation. In return, members will receive a custom designed Comfort Colors tank top. There are prizes for the chapter and sisters who raise the most.  Alumnae donations will also count for collegiate chapter totals. And individuals who contribute $75 or more receive the tank top, too!     


For more information, please call the International Headquarters at 215-732-5901 or visit the website to donate at https://dphie2013.thedonortree.com/donate.

Leadership Development

Conferences & Conventions
Forward-thinking programming and innovative leadership training are hallmarks of the Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority. Our programming prepares sisters for the challenges of leadership, and encourages the development of strong skills for life. Current leadership development programming offered by the sorority includes Convention, District Leadership Conferences, online resources, and volunteer training.

 

The sorority also aspires to offer a Leadership Academy focused on helping young women fulfill their potential, but this will only be possible with your support.

 

Your gifts will enhance our programs, by attracting superior speakers and program presenters; allowing us to better use technology to create professional, interactive programs; and making attendance at our conferences more affordable for our collegiate chapters. To discover how you can get involved, please review our list of Sponsorship Opportunities.

 

UIFI and Other Student Development Programs
The foundation intends to regularly offer scholarships to collegiate sisters to attend the Undergraduate Inter Fraternity Institute (UIFI), LeaderShape and programs offered by the National Panhellenic Conference, North American Interfraternity Conference and other student development organizations. Make a gift today!

 

 

Harriette Hirsch Sisterhood Fund
The Harriette Hirsch Sisterhood Fund provides support and hope for our sisters in need. Recent gifts have ensured young sisters were able to stay in school during a time of family crisis and provided critical support after personal tragedy.

 

Sisters requesting emergency grants from the Harriette Hirsch Sisterhood Fund and other emergency funds should submit a letter to the Foundation President that details the circumstances that have led to requesting a grant and the amount needed, as well as one letter from a personal reference. Letters are accepted at anytime throughout the year and information will be held in strict confidence.
