Delta Phi Epsilon at Webster University

The Gamma Zeta chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon here at Webster University strictly condemns hazing in all forms. Hazing is defined as an action taken or situation created that humiliates, ridicules, or abuses in order to maintain affiliation with an organization or community. Our core values of justice, sisterhood, and love are completely opposed to any sort of harm against our sisters and our larger community, which includes the practice of hazing. We are committed to uplifting and supporting our sisters at every turn and keeping our sorority as a safe place for everyone from all backgrounds and walks of life to find and embrace a loving, supportive sisterhood.

As the school year comes to an end, we want to pause and reflect on the memories we’ve created, the laughter we’ve shared, and the ways we’ve grown alongside one another. From philanthropy and social events to sisterhood gatherings, and our biggest event being retreat! We’ve experienced it all together. Through each of these moments, we’ve grown stronger, more resilient, and more compassionate as sisters. We are deeply grateful for our bond, the late night conversations, the inside jokes, and the unwavering support we have for each other. Here’s to another amazing year and to many more adventures ahead together 💜

DEEPHERS ON 🔝

Recently, our sisters have been working super hard to close out the semester!!!

Earlier this month, Adina won the Cheerleader of the Year award at the Webster Cheer Club Banquet! We are so proud of her for all the work she’s put into cheer while here, and we can’t think of someone more deserving.

At the Research Across Disciplines Conference, we had five sisters present their research on a variety of different topics! Hailey presented on wrongful convictions and systemic flaws that lead to the incarceration of innocent individuals. Raylea presented her senior thesis about adult perceptions of trust in law enforcement, specifically ICE, and Raylea will be conducting a study on this topic in the fall! Ella presented on a paper she worked on earlier this semester titled ‘Her Pages of Revelation: Women, Religion, and The Visions of Julian of Norwich’. Lexie presented on her research about the treatment course for PTSD after sexual abuse and institutional betrayal. Finally, Marianthe presented her research on overcrowded prisons and how to change them! Each sister who presented did a terrific job!

On top of that, Evie also received the George Herbert Walker Award in Leadership! This is a testament to the incredible hard work, dedication, and talent that she has shown in her time here at Webster and will continue to bring to her work in the future.

We are so proud of the work our sisters put in both academically and in their extracurricular programs. Go Deephers!!!

ELLISA PALACIOS ✨

Today’s senior spotlight is Ellie! Ellie is a member of our most recent class, and we are so glad to have met her! She is one of the sweetest women we know, and her energy has lit up our sisterhood. We can’t wait to see where she goes next!
