Bored and looking for adventure beyond our typical University city environment, we ventured to a center city for an elegant dinner party to celebrate two of our sisters' birthdays. Looking chic and fabulous, 20 sisters ventured to La Fontana to celebrate Angela and Emilie's twentieth birthday. While there, we toasted to the birthday girls and enjoyed delicious pasta dishes. With all the laughter and high spirits present, La Fontana can expect us back again.

Deepher Dude 2011
This year our annual philanthropy for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was the most successful in Delta Epsilon history. The participants this year were 12 outstanding gentleman from ΣΦΕ, ΑΕΠ, ΑΧΡ, ΘΧ, ΛΧΑ, ΠΚΦ, ΠΚΨ, ΤΚΕ, ΠΚΑ, ΣΒΡ, ΣΑΜ, and a former ΣΑΕ. From our first meeting with them back in November, it was evident that every single guy was “in it to win it”. The wannabe Deepher Dudes put together fundraisers such as bake sales in front of the DPhiE house, or hot dag sales in their chapter room during “weekend festivities”. The day of the show, it was announced the top fundraiser was Tyrus McCartney from Pi Kappa Phi, who individually donated over $2200!
The theme for the show was The Search for Drexel’s FINEST Man. The acronym FINEST determined the acts for the contestants to compete in for the crown. For F, the guys had 30 seconds to prove just how funny they were; I- a sudden death trivia competition to prove their intelligence, N-limbo to show off how nimble they are; E-enthusiastic (it was announced how much money each contestant raised); S-the gentleman and their Delta Phi Epsilon escorts danced to show off their suaveness; and finally T- the guys worked hard to prepare their 2-minute talents.
The event, held in Drexel’s Main Auditorium, had approximately 600 people in attendance! This year, we encouraged all chapters to come out and support the event with the incentive of a Wii to both the chapter who had the greatest number of members in attendance (Delta Zeta) and the chapter with the greatest percentage of active members (Lambda Chi Alpha). This year’s Deepher Dude Coordinator, Emma Breitkreutz (Kappa) definitely proved her event-planning abilities by organizing one of the biggest events on Drexel’s Campus.

DEEPHER DUDE 2010!
Deepher Dude 2010!
Deepher Dude is a huge event. When they introduced it to the Xi class, we all pictured it kind of as talent show mixed with Miss (Mister?)
America 2010. It was so much more.
The show took an incredible amount of effort; I watched the committee girls work their tails off for months in advance to plan fundraisers, coordinate decorations, find sponsors, and recruit and select the dudes.
Walking into the auditorium on the night of the event was exciting, and our entire class was anxious to sit with all the wonderful sisters and to be a part of the show as the boys rapped their hearts out to us (thank you Dustin and Luke), and their brothers (Boomer and Tim, of course), and show off their talents (props to Harshi and Olivia Newton John, and Tom). Our emcees Pam and Elise entertained us all night and laughed with us at the contestants (really, have you ever seen somebody smash fruit in front of 300 people?).
The entire night was a blast, but the most touching part was easily the film shown of John Hollin, a man who ha
s battled cystic fibrosis for many years. The Xi class knew that what we were helping to fundraise for was an amazing cause, we’ve helped CFF help others, but this night created a whole new appreciation for our philanthropy and for our hard-working sisters, who donated so many hours of their time to make this event as amazing as it was.
Deepher Dude 2010 was a huge success, and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it. Even more so, I’m curious to see how long it takes Deepher Dude 2010 Joey D to stop fist pumping…
