As an initiated member of Delta Phi Epsilon, you appreciate the significance of the name and symbols of Delta Phi Epsilon, such as our crest, letters, and sisterhood badge. To protect the integrity of our name, Delta Phi Epsilon registers our marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. These marks include the name Delta Phi Epsilon, the Greek letters "Delta Phi Epsilon", our sisterhood badge, and our crest.

Protecting our name is our right and our responsibility. It is a right and responsibility recognized by the courts. In April 2000, a District Court ruled that fraternities and sororities have the right to enforce and protect their registered marks. For years, companies selling merchandise bearing the logo or symbols of a University, professional sports team or organization had to have permission to use those logos or symbols because they were recognized as the "trigger mechanism for sale of the product." In the early 1980s, some courts refused to recognize that fraternities should have the same right to protect their marks.

Delta Phi Epsilon is using the fuel from the court's decision to join many Greek organizations in trademark protection. We formed an alliance with Affinity Marketing Consultants, Inc., experts in administering comprehensive licensing programs for Greek organizations. Their goal is to license only companies who provide diverse quality licensed Delta Phi Epsilon products at reasonable prices with exceptional service. To date, we have agreements with approximately 40 vendors, offering products and services ranging from jewelry and stationary to travel and insurance.

Below, you can locate the complete list of our licensed vendors, search for specific products, access links to licensed vendors, browse through those vendors' online catalogs, and purchase items directly through a secure e-commerce server. The site will be updated frequently, as our roster of licensed vendor will continue to grow and the variety of quality products available to you will increase.

You associate great memories with Delta Phi Epsilon and its symbols-your initiation, a sisterhood retreat, or an alumnae event. To preserve those memories, and stop companies who misuse Delta Phi Epsilon's symbols for personal profit because they are not familiar with the true meaning of Delta Phi Epsilon's vision, mission, and purpose, we must take a stand. By refusing to purchase products that do not carry the Greek Licensed Product seal, we can make sure "Delta Phi Epsilon" always stands for quality. If you have questions about licensing, or want more information on how to get your local vendor and campus bookstore licensed, please contact Jill Welch, Communications & Collegiate Development Director, at jwelch@dphie.org or by phone at 314.275.2626 ext. 22.
