On March 17, 1917, five young female students at Washington Square College Law, a Division of New York University, founded Delta Phi Epsilon. There were only about two dozen women enrolled in the college. The DIMES, as they are referred to, are Dorothy Cohen Schwartzman, Ida Bienstock Landau, Minna Goldsmith Mahler, Eva Effron Robin, and Sylvia Steierman Cohn. Delta Phi Epsilon was formally incorporated under New York State law on March 17, 1922.
