Epsilon Tau President

Greetings from
EPSILON TAU CHAPTER

Our mission is to attract and retain quality motivated women in our area who are committed to sisterhood, civic and social engagement, networking, professionalism and education. Our vision statement is one word, EXCELLENCE. We know that it is easier to reach for the low hanging fruit to obtain a quick win.

However, our chapter has committed to quality over quantity in every opportunity we are faced with. We believe in healthy growth and the overall wholeness of each and every event, affair, volunteer effort, connections, network and membership opportunity.

We stand on and believe that every challenge is an opportunity to learn, to adapt, and to rise above. A setback is not a failure, it is a chance to recalibrate, to gather our resilience, and to come back stronger than before. We have the power within us to conquer any obstacle. When doubt creeps in, we remind ourselves of your past triumphs, and the battles we've already fought and won.

On March 17, 2024, Epsilon Tau proudly became the 13th Chartered Chapter, the Pearl Chapter of the South Atlantic Region, marking a milestone in its mission to connect and uplift women across the area. Being the 13th Chartered Chapter is very dear and momentous for us as there were 13 Original Pearls of Gamma Phi Delta Sorority Incorporated. The beautiful ceremony was held in Columbus, Georgia where our beloved Regional Director was presented with a key to the city.

Epsilon Tau is the chapter emerging as a beacon of empowerment, sisterhood, and community engagement. The founding members envisioned a supportive network for women that would not only foster personal growth but also promote academic excellence and social responsibility.

We are maintaining the desires of the founders to create a space where women could uplift one another and make a meaningful impact in their communities. The founders of Gamma Phi Delta Sorority Incorporated outlined the mission, values, and goals, emphasizing the importance of diversity, leadership, and service. Our name "Epsilon Tau" reflects the principles of empowerment and unity, with each Greek letter symbolizing strength and resilience.

We look forward to creating partnerships with local organizations, focusing on initiatives that address educational disparities and support women's health. Through various fundraising events and volunteer opportunities, Epsilon Tau hopes to become recognized for its commitment to social change in Columbus and surrounding areas.

As we continue to grow, it remains committed to fostering an inclusive environment where members can thrive personally and professionally. The sorority’s legacy is built on the bonds of sisterhood and a collective mission to make and inspire a positive difference. With the foundation laid, as we move forward, Epsilon Tau hopes to stand as a testament to the power of women coming together to support one another in all aspects of life,inspire change and look forward to a bright future in the South Atlantic Region.
