Delta Epsilon Phi's mission is to recognize outstanding students of the German language and foster an increased interest in the study of German. Warwick has sponsored the Pennsylvania Epsilon Eta Chapter since the 2004-2005 school year. Since then, the group has been involved with the Warwick community, charitable organizations, tutoring, German activities, and fundraising.
“My favorite part of induction is the candle-lighting ceremony, where we recognize each individual student for their achievements. This year we were fortunate to have perfect weather for it! Our dinner and time of fellowship with family and friends after the ceremony is also something I look forward to each fall.” - Mrs. Cassidee Esbenshade, Advisor.
Congratulations to the new inductees!
