The first conceptualized vision of Delta Epsilon Psi Fraternity, Inc. was conceived twelve years ago at The University of Texas at Austin. Eighteen motivated, South Asian young men developed this vision into existence. These men are now considered the founding fathers of the nation wide organization, Delta Epsilon Psi Fraternity, Inc. They first set out with the goal of establishing a legitimate South Asian presence around campus at The University of Texas. They strived to do this by utilizing the three pillars of Brotherhood, Discipline, and Commitment. This idea became a reality when the founding class of Delta Epsilon Psi was officially recognized on October 1, 1998. At that moment Delta Epsilon Psi became the very first South Asian Fraternity in the entire South.

Once past the infancy stage, Delta Epsilon Psi began a phase of nationwide expansion. It began with other southern schools like Baylor University and University of South Florida. Then followed a movement North towards schools in New Jersey and other Northern states. This expansion has continued to this year, which marked the recognition of the 25th addition to our fraternity when the Alpha Beta colony of Delta Epsilon Psi was established at Wayne State University in Warren County, Michigan. This rapid expansion marks the success of our fraternity by being so well supported that the small idea of eighteen young men has now developed into a nationwide operation to bring together South Asian students under the same fundamental ideas and philosophies.

While Delta Epsilon Psi has grown to boast an impressive national presence, the Founding Chapter in Austin holds to the roots it was established upon twelve years ago. This commitment has allowed us to maintain our position as one of Delta Epsilon Psi’s elite chapters.

Notable accomplishments of our chapter include:

• Establishing Project Come Together as the largest service event on campus in the history of The University of Texas.
• 2006-2007 ‘Best Social Organization’ at University of Texas two years in a row
