11 Signs You're A Delta Phi Epsilon

A sisterhood like no other.

11 Signs You're A Delta Phi Epsilon
Kayla Watson

I found my home away from home with Delta Phi Epsilon and I could not be happier. I have found forever friends and sisters in girls that were once strangers to me. I have found my comfort zone and my people.

We share our deepest secrets and our strongest insecurities. I hold DPhiE close to me because I share these things with my sisters as they share them with me. I have bridesmaids for my eventual wedding. I have rides to chapter when I don't want to drive (or have the gas to drive). I have roommates. I have a second, third and 93rd wardrobe. I have sisters to go shopping with. I have a family away from my own. I have sisters.


There are few things that make DPhiE what it is and a few things that only Deephers know the meaning behind and hold dear to their heart.

1. Unicorns.

Our awesome mascot.

2. Justice, Sisterhood, Love.

Values we hold dear.

3. Royal purple and pure gold.

Our lovely colors that are held so very dear to our hearts.

4. Philanthropy.

ANAD (Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders), Delta Phi Epsilon Education Foundation, and the Cystic Fibrosis foundation

5. DIMES

Our amazing founders.

6. The lovely purple iris

Our lovely flower.

7. Star Sisters

Our own personal built-in study buddy.

8. Pearls (physical and hypothetical)

Making ourselves better, and our beloved jewel.

9. The five S's

Scholarship, Sisterhood, Self, Service, and Social.

10. Esse Quam Videri

Our motto translated to mean "To be rather than to seem to be"

11. Family.

You find your family. Not your blood, just your sisters. Your big, your little, your twin, etc. they're all amazing and you don't know what you would do without them.

My sisterhood means the world to me. We are so unique and different in our own way. We are accepted. My sisters have opened more doors than I could ever imagine. They love me for who I am, and who I want to be. They are my support and my confidence. I love them and accept them for who they are and who they want to be. They encourage me to be better. I can always improve who I am.

I may not always stand strong, but with my sisters beside me, I will never have to stand alone. We are not a second rate sorority. We are honest, true, and loyal members of Delta Phi Epsilon.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
