Welcome to the Epsilon Chi Chapter website, proudly representing the Mighty EAST!

 

The National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Incorporated, is a not‑for‑profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to uplifting our three foundational pillars: Youth. Education. Service. (Y.E.S.) As the 137th link of this illustrious sisterhood, the Epsilon Chi Chapter of Rockland/Orange County was chartered on November 19, 2005. We remain deeply honored to continue the work envisioned by our Founders in 1923: “The Highest Ideals of the Teaching Profession, in the Pursuit of Excellence.”

 

This year marks a historic milestone for our chapter as we prepare a significant contribution to the National Archives—a record of our dedication to advancing National and Regional initiatives through impactful local Y.E.S. programming. For two decades, the Epsilon Chi Chapter has been a beacon of empowerment, uplifting educators, inspiring students, and supporting families. As we commemorate our 20th year, we honor the dedication and resilience that embody the ideals of our sorority. 

 

We invite you to explore our website and stay connected with the meaningful work Epsilon Chi Chapter is engaged in each month. It is our hope that you gain a full appreciation of what Epsilon Chi Chapter in “The East” proudly offers our community through Y.E.S. 

As we reflect with gratitude, we extend heartfelt thanks to every member, parent, and community partner who contributes to making this informational resource possible.
