Chapter History
Founding
Epsilon Sigma Chapter was founded on November 16 2008. Early in the race Epsilon Sigma has had it's ups and it's down as many starting chapters have.
It Is Only The Beginning
"One Year In"
In one year, Epsilon Sigma has come a long way in building Brotherly bonds within itself and other Chapters in the Central Region.
Five Years Strong
Epsilon Sigma has now been on campus for 5 years. We were awarded the Clarence O. Williams Most Improved New Chapter by National Council during the 2013 National Convention and our chapter couldn't be happier. We have had our fair share or struggles, but are overall making great strides towards becoming an important part of the Iowa City Community and a cohesive chapter with a strong sense of Brotherhood. We hosted the Regional Conference this year for the Upper Midwest Region with a Great Gatsby and Roaring 20's Theme. It was a hit! We were able to send two delegates to National Convention, while also raising money for ToGather Together, a local organization that donates free school supplies to students through the area schools. We had a continuous school supply drive during both spring and fall semester and asked all of the chapters in our region to bring supplies to our Regional Conference. It was a great success and plan to continue our partnership with ToGather Together. We donated multiple packages of pencils and pens, backpacks, notebooks, folders, markers, and other supplies. We hope to put together a 5K and "Fun Fair" that will benefit ToGather Together within the next year or two. We are all looking forward to what the future has in store for this chapter.
Membership
Our current membership consists of about 50 members with initiate classes ranging from 8-15 members per semester. We have seen a significant growth in interest during our rush week events and interview nights. Approximately 60+ qualified students attend our interview nights and we continue see growth from semester to semester. The turnouts for these events are allowing us to select stronger Brothers who have helped our chapter grow a great deal. We are extremely encouraged by the interest and recognition we have received both on campus and at a national level! We are also very proud of Brother Jenna Guy; she transferred to the University of Northern Iowa last year and recently received permission from them to start a chapter. We look forward to her chapter joining our region soon.
