HI! My name is Danielle Kappler, and I am honored to serve as Delta Phi Epsilon's President for Fall 2023. I am a senior double majoring in Political Economy and Sociology, and pledged DPE in Fall 2020 (wow, I'm old!). I focus on socioeconomic inequalities and their connection to sociological structures perpetuated by social institutions, particularly in the U.S. but also across the world and their comparisons to the U.S.. Outside of school, I love to read, hike, go to Trader Joes, explore the Bay Area (and get lost too), and try all the different coffee shops I find along the way!
Hey! My name is Calvin and I'm a history major here at Cal. My concentration is constitutional history, particularly Iranian constitutionalism and the Iranian people's relationship and use of their civil code. I pledged in Spring 2021, focusing on nationalism and its' contribution to the potential downfall in the European Union. Since then, my focus has switched almost entirely to both Iranian and Palestinian constitutionalism. Outside of my job and working to find amazing speakers for this fraternity, I like to cook, explore the Bay, hike Mt. Tamalpais, and thrift for new flannels or jeans.
My name is Sofia Kirfchen and I am a sophomore studying Global Studies and Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, with a concentration in Peace and Conflict Studies and Arabic. I pledged Delta Phi Epsilon in Fall 2022, and now am thrilled to serve as the Internal Vice President of DPhiE for the fall semester! A fun fact about me is that I love soccer and have become an avid runner since the pandemic! My main IR and research interests involve democratic development, counterterrorism and national security, and human rights, specifically pertaining to women's education in the Middle East. I spent this past summer as a part of the Armenian National Committee's 2023 Leo Sarkisian Internship program, and look forward to bringing the valuable foreign policy/government knowledge that I gained on Capitol Hill back to Berkeley and DPhiE!

I'm so excited to guide new members and make new memories this semester!"

"Madison Torres is a third-year global studies student at the University of California, Berkeley. She embarked on her college journey at Sacramento City College, where she earned an associate's degree in global studies before transferring to the University of Berkeley. Global studies became her chosen major due to her deep passion for expanding her knowledge about the world and understanding the challenges faced by various cultures and nations. She has plans to purse a minor in Public Policy, but is still debating. Madison joined DPHIE in spring semester of 2023. She has a passion for emergency management, and an interests in think tanks, and is wondering where the next few years will take her. As far as fun facts, she has gone skydiving this past year and hopes to continue, so who wants to join her?"
