Founding Member(s) Still Alive?

[Peaches-n-Cream]

Delta Phi Epsilon was founded on March 17, 1917. Over seventy years later when I pledged, three of the five founders were still alive. While I was in college, one of them died. We wore black ribbons around our badges to honor her. When I told one of my friends in Alpha Phi what the ribbon meant, she was surprised and said that her founders had died over fifty years earlier.
