Welcome to the Phi Epsilon chapter of Delta Delta Delta here at the University of Southern Mississippi! I am so excited that you have chosen to learn more about our organization and the diverse group of girls that make Tri Delta so special. In 1888, our founders came together to form an organization in which girls could invest themselves in long-lasting relationships, built upon truth, self-sacrifice, and friendship. Their ultimate goal was to focus on each individual member’s inner character, rather than her outward appearance—to appreciate each member for who they are and what makes them unique. Phi Epsilon chapter was founded in 1951 at The University of Southern Mississippi and has developed an admired reputation both on campus and in the community through sisterhood, academics, and philanthropy. However, the most rewarding aspect of being a part of Tri Delta is gaining the perpetual bond of friendship within our members and alumnae, as well as, developing a strong bond with the fraternity. For me personally, Tri Delta has encouraged a strong sense of accountability, a continuous desire to lead, and the support to grow confidently in my personal morals and values. I hope that you have been able to get a glimpse of why Phi Epsilon is such a remarkable chapter and the reasons why this chapter will always hold a special place in each member’s heart.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Drivon
President
