This article is about the professional fraternity and sorority.
Delta Phi Epsilon (ΔΦΕ) is the name given to several college fraternities and sororities. It is the only national professional foreign service fraternity and sorority. Founded at Georgetown University on January 25, 1920, the fraternity's mission is to promote good fellowship among persons studying or engaged in foreign service. The Alpha chapter went on to colonize at many other universities throughout the country in the first half of the twentieth century. Many chapters have since become inactive due to the fraternity being identified with "The Establishment" during the Vietnam War era, as well as a subsequent decline in interest in foreign service. The fraternity has notable members in a variety of fields.
As of 2008, there are four active chapters and one active colony. Active chapters are Georgetown's Alpha chapter, New York University's Beta Chapter, George Washington University's Eta Chapter, University of California, Berkeley's Epsilon Chapter and University of Pacific's Psi Colony. Other chapters are currently in the process of being chartered and re-chartered.
The current president of Delta Phi Epsilon's national board is James-Michael von Stroebel and the current president of Alpha Chapter is Justin W. Charity. The Alpha, Beta, and Eta chapters do not admit women, but in 1973 the Alpha Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority was founded at Georgetown University. Since its creation, the sorority has grown to include chapters at several additional universities, such as Eta chapter in 2006, and has inducted notable national sisters including former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
History
The four founders of the fraternity are Alfred O. Arsenau, Wesley O. Ash, Samuel C. Bartlett, and T.J. Patrick O'Connell. The first three, undergraduates in Georgetown University's then new School of Foreign Service, at first held in common only their experience in overseas military service and their interest in foreign service careers. Later they were drawn together by their common vision for a professional foreign service fraternity for future graduates of the School of Foreign Service and others in the field. The fourth founder had developed a similar vision independently, which he discussed with Arsenau.
Later these men joined with seven interested undergraduates (future brothers Sandager, Butts, Ash, MacKenzie, Brooks, Sullivan Scott, and Bates) and signed the Articles of Agreement. After choosing a name and nominating officers, Delta Phi Epsilon Foreign Service Fraternity was founded at the Catholic Community House on E Street on January 25, 1920.
