One of the goals of Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority is to provide members with positive experiences that promote personal growth, develop a caring and supportive environment, and encourage service to the community. By enhancing their talents, strengths, and skills, members of Delta Phi Epsilon will be prepared to contribute not only as a member of our sisterhood, but to their local communities and on a global level.

The Delta Phi Epsilon PEARL Program presents opportunities for members of all ages to contribute to their personal as well as professional development, the sorority, and the surrounding community. All members are expected to participate in PEARL events in the five areas of Self, Scholarship, Sisterhood, Social, and Service in order to gain a Personal Development Pearl (PDP). 

Team Excellence is an organizational structure that invites all members to participate in chapter operations. The strategy of this team-based structure is to better distribute responsibility throughout the chapter and subsequently increase skills, sisterhood connections, individual member ownership and engagement, and overall chapter support.

The DPHIE Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging chapter certificate program is an opportunity for DPHIE chapters to move from education to action. The program contains a set of 4 courses designed to specifically teach chapters how to actively make DEIB part of their everyday individual and collective operations and interactions. Each course will provide chapters with the action steps they need to implement inclusive practices and ensure that their chapter is a place where members feel they belong, thus increasing both the recruitment potential of the chapter and retention of current members. Chapters can choose their own level of investment in the program by selecting 1 or more courses in which to participate. Upon completion of each course, they will earn a chapter certificate in that specific course topic. If a chapter completes the full 4 course program, they will be deemed a DPHIE Chapter of Inclusive Excellence. 

Delta Phi Epsilon’s New Member Orientation program was completely redesigned in Fall 2022. The New Member Orientation Program is intentionally designed to ensure that all new members, regardless of chapter, are provided the same foundational knowledge and experience. The program is also designed to be simple to facilitate by Vice Presidents of Membership Development (VPMDs) and New Member Educators (NMEs). The New Member Orientation (NMO) Program consists of two different parts, both equally important and required by all new members:

An online new member orientation course on DPHIE Learning designed to introduce essential DPHIE knowledge to all new members.

Once weekly new member orientation meetings, facilitated by chapter leaders, designed to create meaningful connections between new members and the chapter.

Overall, the New Member Orientation program strives to create a sense of belonging for all new members while teaching them the essential information they will need to know to be a positively contributing member of DPHIE, their chapter and their local community.

Every two years, the members of Delta Phi Epsilon come together to learn and grow as individuals.  Through keynote and breakout sessions on topics that are relevant to today’s world, the membership expands their horizons. Through opportunities to connect during meals and sessions, bonds with other members from across the country that will last a lifetime are solidified.  The programs are fully focused on personal and professional growth of our membership as women, leaders, professionals and friends and are carried out by industry leaders.
