It’s Meet a Deepher Monday!

We’re kicking it off this year with our Team Leader of Programming Schaenatia Kins! We affectionately call her Schay 💜💛

Schay joined DPhiE in Fall 2016 because of the amazing sisterhood bonds she found. Some of her favourite memories from being an active are Sisterhood Retreats and Greek Weekend. She adores red, the summer, Hip-Hop, Afrobeats and Kompa music, and the Princess Diaries movies. She loves to create and one thing she would do if she could do anything without obstacle or failure is to be a dancer.

We also want to take a moment to shout out her business the O’Schay Collection! Take a moment to check out their insta for all your hair extension needs 💕

Black History Month is a time to celebrate and learn from the Black communities around us. Here’s a little info about the history of this month and this year’s Black History Month in Canada.

Sisterhood is for life and this past year has shown us the strength of those bonds in countless ways. We are so grateful to have shared this journey together, and we are beyond proud to have chartered the first Canadian Alumnae Association.

Sisters always.

Congratulations to our newest Alumnae Association and FIRST in Canada - DPhiE Montreal Alumnae Association 🎉🎉🎉

They celebrated their chartering this past weekend on July 24! As a chartered association, they will make their debut at ILF in July 2022 where they will have a vote in grand chapter.

This past year taught us that connections are more important than ever, and this group made the most of that! Congratulations 💜

Officially chartered and it feels so good 💜💛

We had a blast yesterday celebrating with some of our founding sisters, and officially being installed. Thanks for being supportive through this process and just as excited as we were! And especially thank you to for everything you did for us during this adventure.

TW: Residential Schools

The Delta Phi Epsilon Montreal Alumnae Association recognizes our occupation on unceded lands and calls on the government of Canada to implement the 94 recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Report published in June of 2015. We call on them to recognize the continued colonial state and genocide of Indigenous communities through the child welfare system, lack of access to clean drinking water, overrepresentation in the incarcerated population and the many other ways Indigenous communities and people are treated.

Residential Schools operated for over 100 years in Canada, from around 1883 to 1996. The Indigenous Communities have known and spoken about the atrocities committed in the residential schools for decades. Only now, 24 years after the last school stopped operating, have the mass graves come to light. They always knew they were there. The brutality of our colonial state was never a secret to them and it is far from being history. Call to action No. 71 states the records of the children’s deaths and the residential schools’ operations be turned over to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. The Canadian government, several provincial governments, and the involved churches have failed to do so. Just as they have failed to make any progress on all but 8 of the calls to action.

Canada’s continued policies of aggression, including their continued court challenges over compensation for the residential school survivors, are shameful and are not the way forward. We demand a better government, a better society and above all, to implement the 94 calls to action.
