Well said TPA! You can't compare a group who has 150,000 initiates with one that has only 50,000. Groups that are older have had more time to establish their roots and grow. Delta Phi Epsilon is only 84 years young. We continue to grow and flourish with three new colonies starting this year. We may not be elite in the eyes of all of the world, but it's not the point to me. Without D Phi E, I wouldn't have made it through college...wouldn't have made the lifelong friendship I have with my sisters, even though I graduated 5 years ago. I wouldn't have gotten to volunteer on a national level and meet all of the wonderful sisters I have from all over the country and in Canada (GO SIOB
). Say what you will about all of the sororities. The most elite in my heart will of course be D Phi E, but I believe we all can learn from EVERY sorority. So if you're a Kappa or a Theta or a TPA or a D Phi E, let's learn from each other, support each other, and live the Panhellenic way in boosting our sorority system. When that happens, we will all be called elite, no matter what letters we have!
