About Us
On March 17, 1917, five women at New York University Law School took a pledge of sisterhood and loyalty and founded Delta Phi Epsilon. Minna Goldsmith Mahler, Eva Effron Robin, Ida Bienstock Landau, Sylvia Steierman Cohn and Dorothy Cohen Schwartzman built a society to "Promote good fellowship among the women students among the various colleges in the country...to create a secret society composed of these women based upon their good moral character, regardless of nationality or creed...to have distinct chapters at various colleges..." with the motto Esse Quam Videri: to be rather than to seem to be.
About Us: About Us
On April 17, 2011, a group of bright, determined and like-minded individuals set out to establish the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon. Their courage to start a new chapter speaks volumes about who they were, and we are honored to follow in their footsteps. Our sorority represents a group of diverse people who always strive for the highest level of excellence, as our founders intended. Shared goals and interests in areas of service, academics and building solid relationships hold our chapter together and define who are we.
