Alpha Epsilon Phi was nationally founded by seven women at Barnard College in New York City on October 24th, 1909. They founded Alpha Epsilon Phi out of a longing for companionship and a mututal understanding of each other. Their dreams of a sorority free from religious prejuidices and void of pettiness where women could be themselveshas grown beyond what any of them could have ever expected. Since its creation A E Phi has grown to comprise over 60 chapters worldwide.
The name Alpha Epsilon Phi was derived from the greek phrase
AEI ESTO PHILIO- which means, " May friendship be everlasting."
The Delta Chapter was Founded at Adelphi on April 30th 1916 and is currently the oldest standing chapter in A E Phi National. To date, we are one of the largest sororities on campus and still growing.
Passage from A E Phi National:
AEΦ was founded by seven Jewish women; Helen Phillips, Ida Beck, Rose Gerstein, Augustina "Tina" Hess, Lee Reiss, Rose Salmowitz and Stella Strauss; at Barnard College in New York on October 24, 1909. This sorority would endeavor to foster lifelong friendship and sisterhood, academics, social involvement and community service, all the while providing a home away from home for its members. "It was her [Helen Phillips'] idea and her persistence more than anything else that brought Alpha Epsilon Phi into existence," one founder wrote. "I sometimes think that some of those ties were more necessary to Helen than to the others in this group because Helen had no mother and no sisters or brothers, and to her a group of adopted sisters was more of a need and had more significance."
The dream that was born in a dorm room at Barnard College in 1909 continues to succeed, prosper and thrive on over 50 college and university campuses nationwide. AEΦ welcomes with open arms hundreds of new members each year and seeks not only to live up to the ideals and goals of its original founders, but also to exceed them.
