Examples of our events include monthly Birthday Night, dinner socials, bingo, ice cream socials, and picnics at a local park. I also hold holiday themed social such as our Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Dinner. I really enjoy being the Social Chair of the Epsilon Alpha Chapter.

We also hold informational events such as the hot chocolate table, where interested students may find out more about our fraternity while drinking free hot chocolate.

We are also working on new ways to keep in contant with the Alumni and to try and get them more involved. One idea we are working on is starting an Alumni Pen-Pal. This way Alumni can still feel connected to the chapter and get to know new Brothers.
