Scoops for Troops In September, we served scoops of ice cream to raise awareness for soldiers who have become visually impaired while serving in the military.

Desserts with DG In October, our chapter raised over $1000 for the Foundation by offering unlimited desserts to those who bought a ticket to the event.

Members of E-Phi sell scoops of ice cream to students and faculty in the Peace Quad in front of the Monroe Library.

The Loyola community enjoyed various desserts made by our chapter at Desserts with DG.

Friends and Alumnae of Epsilon Phi,

This semester has been such a busy and exciting time for E Phi, and we hope that you too have had a fun fall. I am happy to share with you some of the accomplishments from our semester.

We started off the year with another successful recruitment followed by many great opportunities to get to know the new members. We were happy to initiate twenty-two new sisters into Delta Gamma this November. I am confident that these women will continue to hold the high ideals we share. Our Greek families continued to grow at big/little reveal at Audubon Park, and the fun did not stop as we continued to Carousel Gardens Amusement Park in City Park for fall retreat.

One of the two fundraising events for Service for Sight this semester that we hosted was new for our chapter, so we were thrilled when it was such a big success. Desserts with DG raised over $1000 for the Foundation by offering unlimited desserts to those who bought a ticket. Thank you to anyone who helped to make our event a success, and we hope to see you again next year!

I look forward to the great things the spring semester and newly elected chapter management team will bring to our chapter. I hope to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Epsilon Phi with you in March!

ITB, Andrea’ Dantin
