Philanthropy
Delta Epsilon Psi prides itself as an organization that puts service first with its rich tradition of outstanding philanthropic efforts. Delta Epsilon Psi has established research towards finding a cure for Juvenile Diabetes (Type 1 Diabetes) and supporting the National Marrow Donor Program as its primary National Philanthropies. Its efforts are geared towards the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and the Be The Match Foundation to promote its goals. Delta Epsilon Psi encourages its brothers to actively engage the community and promote the awareness and education of Type 1 Diabetes. Through these efforts, chapters of Delta Epsilon Psi from around the nation have been able to create various events, such as the “Sugar Free Bowl,” Dodging Diabetes,” “Dash for Diabetes,” and many more, to promote awareness of the disease, as well as raise thousands in funds for JDRF annually. Due to these outstanding efforts, the fraternity became official partners with JDRF, being the first fraternity to have this partnership with JDRF.

Famous quotes containing the word philanthropy:
“I shall not be forward to think him mistaken in his method who quickest succeeds to liberate the slave. I speak for the slave when I say that I prefer the philanthropy of Captain Brown to that philanthropy which neither shoots me nor liberates me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Almost every man we meet requires some civility,—requires to be humored; he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... the hey-day of a woman’s life is on the shady side of fifty, when the vital forces heretofore expended in other ways are garnered in the brain, when their thoughts and sentiments flow out in broader channels, when philanthropy takes the place of family selfishness, and when from the depths of poverty and suffering the wail of humanity grows as pathetic to their ears as once was the cry of their own children.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
