Dear Delta Phi Epsilon

Thank you. I thought about rushing during my sophomore year of college and it was the best decision I could of made. The Alpha Pi chapter took me and I have never felt more at home. I rushed DPhiE because although I had a solid group of friends at college I still felt like I was missing something. I continued to go back and forth on whether or not I wanted to rush because I was afraid I would not fit in or I wouldn't be accepted. My roommate at the time who is now also my sister finally convinced me to go and I am forever grateful to her. After talking to a bunch of that sisters I knew that this was where I belonged.

One of the main reasons I joined DPhiE was because of our philanthropies. Our philanthropies include ANAD, Anorexia Nervosa And Associated Disorders, and CFF, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The summer before I rushed I was diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder and when I found out that one of Delta Phi Epsilons philanthropies was ANAD I knew immediately that this was a place that I would be supported through what I was going through, and I couldn't of been more right. My chapter has supported me through my greatest struggles but also my greatest milestones. If I was having a bad day they would be the ones to pick me back up, if I ever needed to talk to someone there was always someone there to listen. They were there to hold me after I went public about my eating disorder at our ANAD Vigil, and they were the ones to cheer me on when I went public on social media.

Delta Phi Epsilon gave me lifelong best friends, my future bridesmaids, my future maid of honor, and a second family I know I can always rely on. They gave me and amazing little that I am forever grateful for because she changed me for the better and I don't know what I would do without her. So thank you Delta Phi Epsilon for being the best thing that has ever happened to me.
