Chapter History
Founding
Epsilon Nu was founded on April 15th, 2008.The Chapter was founded by 24 members with the help of David Rosengrant (Chapter Advisor), and Tabatha Haney at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia. After a successful colonization, with the help of Beta Zeta and Epsilon Theta, the Epsilon Nu Chapter was up and running. They welcomed the Alpha class at the end of the Fall 2008 semester, and Beta in the Spring 2009 semester. Today they are working to build not only the Chapter, but also to establish themselves in the Kennesaw community.

- Speed Dating- This was an innovative night that let the initiates get to know the brothers on a deeper level and helped get interviews done!!
- Bros, Balls, and BOOs!! Thanks to Jessica, Epsilon Nu was able to hold our first ICR Event. Members from FSU, Georgia Tech, UGA, and KSU all came together for a weekend of fun! Friday night started with the arrival of the FSU and Ga Tech brothers and dinner at The Varsity. This was quickly followed by the Corn Maize in Hickory Flat, Georgia. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, it started raining cats and dogs while many of the brothers were still in the maze! This only added a bit of adrenaline into our systems,and pushed us to find our way out faster. Due to rain, kickball plans for Saturday were changed to pool playing. Who knew PSP Brothers could be such table sharks?! Luckily we were able to get some playing time in with kickball before the nights festivities kicked off. After a farewell breakfast on Sunday, the visiting brothers headed home, leaving us with the fulfillment of an entertaining weekend. Great job Jessica, you did a wonderful job planning the weekend!!
- Milkshake Masquerade- The initiate class of Fall 2009 planned and put-on a masked dinner at Steak and Shake as part of their Social Committee project!
