Connection," were initiated into the chapter along with eleven bodacious, electrifying Angels! What a year! The neophyte Brothers are Brian Abbington, Vincent Cook, David Eaton, David Epps, Kenneth Jones, Keith Kiles, Marvin Morris, Michael Myles, Clarence Oliver, and Donald White. These Brothers have added not only more spirit to Epsilon, but also more distinctiveness. With their initiation, our total membership is close to thirty active members. Our officers for 1977-78 are: Burner Hunter, President; Donald White, Wee President; Dennis Story, Secretary; David Epps, Treasurer; Kenneth Jones, Corresponding Secretary; and Micah McCreary, Dean of Pledges. Under the leadership of our President, Epsilon refused to become inactive over the summer. Because of this, fraternity meetings were held regularly over the summer months and activities within the chapter, as well as picnics and affiliations with other fraternities and sororities, were held. Through these activities, bonds of friendship were strengthened, but the bond of Alpha Phi Alpha is still the strongest bond of unity in the world! Epsilon is also proud to report the sending of three delegates to the National Convention in Atlanta plus seven other Brothers. These Brothers returned with rekindled spirits. This school year promises to be an even greater year. Epsilon is striving to move away from the idea of a "partying frat." Our goals will focus on projects to strengthen the Black family. Such projects will include a "Tribute to Black Women," seminars, workshops, blood drives, and numerous other events. Epsilon is also initiating the first Black Greek Council on this predominantly white university campus. Yes, the spirit of Epsilon lives on and on, but is only one flickering flame in the vast fire of Alpha Phi Alpha. May we challenge all other College Brothers to rekindle their Fraternal flames this year and continue to hold in high esteem the light of Alpha by acknowledging Him who is the Author and Finisher of all things.
