Epsilon Eta Phi

Epsilon Eta Phi was founded on May 3, 1927, at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Its founders were Melba Pinckney Allen, Ruth Novak Berger, Evelyn Scheer Carlson, Ruth Erickson Funk, Iona Bloomer Radsch, and Florence Cockerham Turzak.^[2] It was incorporated on October 14, 1930, in the state of Illinois.

The fraternity became a member of Professional Panhellenic Association on or before 1953,^[3] and was still a member of PPA in 1968.^[4] Epsilon had five active chapters and two inactive chapters by 1967.^[1] Of the active chapters, it maintained two chapters at Duquesne University, one serving daytime students and the other, for evening students.^[1] Its national headquarters were in Chicago, Illinois.^[5]

It merged with Phi Chi Theta, a professional fraternity in business administration and economics on July 27, 1973, adopting the larger fraternity's symbolism and markings.^[2] One new chapter at Duquesne emerged from the two Epsilon Eta Phi predecessors that same year. The groups at Northwestern combined.

The Epsilon Eta Phi motto was "To be rather than to seem".^[1] The colors of Epsilon Eta Phi were steel gray and old rose.^[1] Its flower was rose-colored sweet pea.^[1] Its publication was the Epsilon Eta Phi Magazine.^[5]
