Beta Chapter

The Beta Chapter was chartered at the University of Texas at Dallas in 2000 to become the third chapter of Delta Epsilon Psi. During their tenure they have strived for excellence in academics, service, and philanthropy and received countless recognition from the University, the Greek community, and the community for their outstanding efforts in Juvenile Diabetes awareness efforts as well as their passion for service to their community, logging over 5000 hours in the Chapter’s history.

Delta Epsilon Psi 

Delta Epsilon Psi was a result of similar thoughts, ideals, and values between eighteen young South Asian men at the University of Texas at Austin. Although they came from different backgrounds and viewpoints, they shared the dream of the ideal South Asian fraternity as a means to promote South Asian culture and give it a unified voice. These men went on to become our Founding Fathers with an unyieidng passion to make Delta Epsilon Psi a success. Starting from scratch, with no template or working model to guide them, the Founding Fathers embarked on a journey they hoped would unite and strengthen their community.  Instilling brotherhood, discipline, and commitment into their future brothers was their vision.

On October 1st, 1998, Delta Epsilon Psi was founded by those 18 individuals determined to mold their fraternity into a prominent organization not only in their campus, but also throughout the nation. Their ideals and principles would allow Delta Epsilon Psi to expand beyond the confinements of a stereotypical fraternity. Since there was no paradigm to steer them in the proper direction, they alienated the concept of conventional Greek life and implemented a new sense of giving back to the community.

The beginning was a difficult obstacle course, mainly because there was no true template set for the success of young South Asian men on a University Campus. Brushing off all doubters, cynics and skeptics, the Brothers of Delta Epsilon Psi showed that South Asian people can make a valuable and lasting impact on the community.  Since the idea of fraternities held a negative connotation to the majority of college students, Delta Epsilon Psi made it their mission to change that perspective.

During its first year of existence, Delta Epsilon Psi developed many of its principles and traditions which have been carried on to the present. These traditions and principles have inspired others to take up the call and develop chapters of their own at different colleges and universities throughout the nation. The fact that expansion has resulted in chapters across the nation proves that there are individuals present everywhere that are willing to hold and pass on the ideals that symbolizes Delta Epsilon Psi.

We believe our fraternity is like a family. Together we are driven to instill the virtues of brotherhood, discipline, and commitment within our members through various service and social activities. The brotherhood that is built  as a member of Delta Epsilon Psi signifies how we work together as one unit rather than individuals. The discipline that is instilled in each brother is exemplified by our attitudes, deeds, and actions. Commitment is apparent in each brother in their pride in our organization and continuing belief its ideals values, and principles.
