Our History
Mu Phi Epsilon is an International Professional Music Fraternity founded on November 13, 1903, at the Metropolitan College of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio, by Dr Winthrop S. Sterling and Elizabeth Mathias Fuqua. There are currently 144 collegiate chapters with charters, 82 active chapters, and 74 active alumni chapters. It awards a number of scholarships and grants and promotes music among professional musicians, students, and the community.

Our chapter
The Dallas Alumni Chapter celebrates 85 years this year. We meet 6-7 times a year and sponsor a series of free, weekly concerts in spring and fall in partnership with the Dallas Public Library; give scholarships, present musical programs, and perform other services to the community.

Our Creed
I believe in MUSIC, the noblest of all arts; A source of much that is good, just, and beautiful; In FRIENDSHIP, marked by love, kindness, and sincerity; And in HARMONY, the essence of a true and happy life. I believe in the sacred bonds of our Fraternity - loyal, generous, and self-sacrificing, and its strength shall ever guide me in the path that leads upwards to the stars.
By Ruth Jane Kirby - Omega Chapter
