Chapter History

Founding

Under the leadership of colony chairman Jarrod Reeves, and the direction from Alumni Advisor, Brian Thompson, the East Tennessee State University Colony held interest meetings in February of 2008. There were approximately 40 initiates pinned. Over the course of the Colonization period, the colony experienced some struggles with retention. By the end of the initiation program, the colony had 20 members inducted. Epsilon Xi Chapter was officially founded on April 21, 2008.
