Delta Phi Epsilon (ΔΦΕ or DPhiE) is an international sorority founded on March 17, 1917 at New York University Law School in Manhattan.〔 It is one of 26 social sororities that form the National Panhellenic Conference.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.npcwomen.org/about/member-organizations.aspx )〕 It has 106 active chapters, one of which is located in Canada at Concordia University, making the sorority international. == History == On March 17, 1917, at the New York University School of Law, Dorothy Cohen Schwartzman, Ida Bienstock Landau, Minna Goldsmith Mahler, Eva Effron Robin, and Sylvia Steierman Cohn made a pledge to each other to build a women's organization that would stand out from the rest. These five women founded the Alpha chapter of the Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority 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".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dphie.org/aboutdphie )〕 Delta Phi Epsilon was the first non-sectarian social sorority founded at a professional school.〔 Five years later, in 1922, Delta Phi Epsilon was officially incorporated under the state laws of New York and became an international sorority by creating a chapter of the organization at McGill University in Canada. Currently there are more than 55,000 members of Delta Phi Epsilon.〔 The current international president of Delta Phi Epsilon is Tricia Carlin of the Delta Sigma chapter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dphie.org/aboutdphie/ourleadership )〕 Chapters, both undergraduate and alumnae, enjoy a distinguished reputation for scholarship, service, and leadership. Over three quarters of a century after Delta Phi Epsilon began, women still embrace the beliefs of the organization's founders by sharing sisterhood in their hearts and lives.〔 With a continuing philosophy of faith in the inherent good judgment of the undergraduate membership, Delta Phi Epsilon has remained steadfast throughout its history; forward to the continued growth of a sisterhood which keeps pace with the ever changing nature of the collegiate world.〔 Delta Phi Epsilon's flower is the Lovely Purple Iris, and its international mascot is the Unicorn. The sisterhood badge is an equilateral triangle in gold surrounded by 21 pearls, the jewel of the sorority. DPhiE's open motto is "''Esse Quam Videri''" (in Latin: "''To be rather than to seem to be''").〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Delta Phi Epsilon (social)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
