November 23rd marked the end of an 11 week educational period and the beginning of life long friendships and unconditional sisterhood for the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority: Indi vidual personalities, distinct characteristics, and unique ways of thinking are just a few of the things these 18 women faced after they made the decision to rush in the fall and be come the 'Zeta class' of D Phi E. Sunday these 18 women officially became sisters; their new member period finally came to an end. All the hard work, dedication, and enormous effort of the past 11 weeks paid off. .. Sunday was a day and night to remember. Nervous, positive energy filled the room as 18 new members prepared to b~come full-fledged .sisters. ' It is over...... but it is only the beginning!!

On behalf of the sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon, I would like to congratulate the Zeta Class for all the hard work that each of you contributed to your new member period. I know it ended up taking a little longer than you thought, but you did a great job. We are all looking forward to the memories we will make to add on to the ones we have already begun to build! You all hold amazing qualities ... "that is you" ... which make up Delta Phi - Epsilon sorority. Without those distinct qualities, we would. not be able to flourish and function as we have in the past and will in the future. These letters, DFE, are what bring us together as one unity.... we put our pride in it...and are now proud that each of you are a part of the unity we possess. - WE LOVE YOU!! AT&T YI.TS. It's all within your reach·. ~ The Sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon © 1997 AT&T I
