S
oror Griena Knight and I worked together at Miles
College and she asked me if I was interested in helping
her bring a new sorority to Miles College. She shared the
information that she received with me and I thought what
an amazing opportunity for our campus. I can tell you,
the application process wasn’t easy, and our Three Founders are VERY thorough in their process. We shared the
information with young women on our campus. When
it came to our intake wekeend, we had 4 undergraduate
women from Miles, Griena, myself, and one woman from
Atlanta, Mary. We had no idea what to expect that weekendand we truly bonded. We were without the benefit of
the wonderful cooking—there was a lot of fast food, casual dining, and grocery store runs that weekend in between
sessions for providing sustenance. When it came to our
“gift”, we made a midnight run to get a block of concrete.
We thought that the concrete would symbolize our solid
beginning as a new sorority. Little did we know that we
would go down as the first line for Delta Psi Epsilon and
that we were making history for our group. I wish we had
taken more pictures that weekend and captured more of
who we were I’ve watched the growth of the sorority over
the last 9 years and I truly see God’s blessing on this organization. Keep looking for the women of God and they
will find us. |

One of my greatest Delta Psi Epsilon memories is during
my membership intake program (MIP). It was towards
the end of the process, I thought I was going to give up, I
didn’t think I was going to make, I felt I had spread myself too thin. I was working full time, taking a marketing
class for my MBA, recovering from fibroid surgery, active
in church ministries, active in community organizations,
and learning ALL of this info for Delta Psi Epsilon. I
remember studying material all day on Saturday, going to
early service on Sunday, and then still trying to retain info
for a session that afternoon. My head was pounding and I
was tired but I had to press on. I took the time to pray...”God, let your will be done...maybe this is not the time for
me to join DPsiE.” A peace came over me. So, I figured
that meant my journey towards the sorority was coming
to an end. I took a nap with the intention of contacting my DP when I woke up to tell her I was done...But
GOD!!!!! I woke up from my nap and ALL the material
just flowed from my lips!!! I was not taking the time to
allow HIM to order my steps and HE provided me with
some much needed rest. HE knew that I truly believed in
everything I was doing but I wasn’t leaving time for me.
Personally, I can say that the MIP truly brought me closer
Soror Cherese Gregory (center) and her line sisters, Soror
Coffey and Soror Redmond
to GOD and allowed me to learn a lot more about Him
but also a lot more about myself . God and I had numerous daily conversations. |
