OUR PHILANTHROPIES
Delta Phi Epsilon supports three national philanthropies. Throughout our history, we have partnered with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders), and the Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation. We hold each of these three philanthropies close to our hearts and work extremely hard every year to raise money and awareness for these causes.
The Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation raises, manages and awards funds to provide undergraduate and graduate scholarships to our sisters. It also provides grants to support our innovative educational and leadership programs.
Every year, our chapter participates in 'Dimes for DPhiE' to contribute to this cause.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. It was virtually unknown to the general population until 1955. when a group of parents formed the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). It's mission is to be driving force in finding a cure. Sisters from every chapter have supported the CFF mission.
Delta Phi Epsilon has donated more than $1 million to research in the pursuit of curing cystic fibrosis. Every year our chapter holds a 65 Roses Gala to raise money for CFF, as well as a "Deepher Dude" Competition, where we raise money and men from campus compete to become a DPhiE sweetheart.
Delta Phi Epsilon has always placed great importance for individuality and valuing someone for who they are, not what they look like. Sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon educate, advocate and raise funds for ANAD. We are ambassadors for healthy attitudes, bodies and behaviors on campus and within the community.
Every year, our chapter holds "ANAD Week" at Capital University to focus on fundraising and promoting positive body images across campus.
