From strangers to sisters
Malica Hot, Dharma Mowatt, Katie Lutner, Amanda Brogan,
and Bella La Fata
Hoping to find a sense of
community, even online, Katie
Lutner decided to rush a sorority her
freshman year. She learned about the
different chapters and met sisters
from multiple organizations online.
When she got her bid to Delta Phi
Epsilon, she was thrilled. "With them,
I felt I could really be true to myself,"
she says. Even better: many of the
women she was rushing with —
Amanda, Bella, Dharma, and Malica —
became DPhiEs with her and have
since become like family. "I had people
who would be there for me," says
Katie. "They shaped who I am today."
