Mu Phi Epsilon - Chapters and Administration

Chapters and Administration

Collegiate chapters continued taking their names from the original Alpha Chapter, progressing through the Greek alphabet and then used the prefixes Mu, Phi, Epsilon, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta. As of 2005, the prefix Zeta is used for new chapters. International chapters have been Alpha Tau (Philippine Women’s University 1962), Beta Xi (University of the Philippines 1967) and Delta Iota (University of Western Ontario, Canada 1990).

Since 1903, 201 chapters of Mu Phi Epsilon have been installed on college campuses. After graduation or leaving school the collegiate members are encouraged to affiliate with a nearby alumni chapter or with the International Fraternity as an Allied Member.

The administration of Mu Phi Epsilon is made up of three main bodies: The executive board, the foundation, and the district directors. The executive board is made up of eight people, including the President (currently Dr. Frances Irwin), five vice presidents, the executive secretary-treasurer, and the editor of the Triangle. The Foundation is established for the benefit of philanthropic projects suitable to commemorate the aims and purposes of the Fraternity. Finally, the district directors are appointed to oversee the Fraternity Chapters in geographical divisions of the United States. They meet personally with the collegiates and alumni, answer questions, give support and help them work through problems. Currently the collegiate and alumni chapters are divided into twelve Provinces and thirty-three Districts within those Provinces.
