The Delta Epsilon chapter at the University of New Orleans was founded in 1958 as the local sorority Delta Epsilon Beta. Early in 1962, the group petitioned Alpha Xi Delta for a charter.

At the time, the next Alpha Xi Delta chapter was to be Delta Delta, but Delta Epsilon Beta wanted to become the Delta Epsilon chapter, to retain part of their original name. The group was pledged as the Delta Epsilon chapter on March 3, 1962 and installed May 12. The Delta Epsilon chapter has since initiated over 550 members.
