norfolk state u E Pi leads at NSU To all Alphadom, the Epsilon Pi Chapter, Norfolk State University, wishes a Happy New Year. It is our hope that all fraternal endeavors are successful. We, the brothers of (Notorious) E Pi, are hard at work upholding the aims or our dear fraternity. The Fall '85 semester was very productive for us here in the city by the Elizabeth River. Since our chartering in 1962 we have been an important asset to the NSU Family and surrounding communities. Among our very notable accomplishments we have the distinction of placing three brothers in the 1986 Edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. These distinguished brothers are Steve Butler, Greg 36
Davis, Greg Willis. The tutorial program, at Bowling Park Recreation Center, we conduct is going into its 10th year of existence. A Christmas Party was held for the children of this very vital community project. The chapter has the privilege of having two of NSU's class presidents— Brothers Vince Mohr, Junior Class President, and Greg Davis, Senior Class President. Brother Davis has been class president four consecutive years, a first at the university. In celebration of Norfolk State's Golden Anniversary, we sponsored a "50 Years of Progress" Dance with a percentage of the profits going to the scholarship fund. Prior to the Thanksgiving break we held a Lip Sync Contest for the student body, where the kids from our tutorial program as well as some of the bothers participated as exhibition contestants. Also a food basket was given to a family in the nearby community for Thanksgiving. Epsilon Pi has three Brothers who play an important role in the staff of campus radio station WNSB-FM Jazz 91. The program director of Norfolk State Broadcasting and former Student Government A s s o c i a t i o n P r e s i d e n t , Brother Winthrop Maduro, is assisted by chapter president Brother Greg Willis. The sports director is Brother Traven Jones, who gives play-byplay broadcast of NSU Basketball. We are also the sponsor of a Reggae Show on the station, which airs weekly. In an effort to maintain the unity and closeness the Alpha Family enjoys, our sisters of AKA hosted an informal spaghetti dinner where such games as charades and Trivial Pursuit were played. We ended the semester with a tri-chapter dinner in honor of the trailblazers of Alpha — the Seven Jewels. The participating chapters for this annual Founder's Day Celebration were Gamma Iota and Nu Theta, Hampton and Old Dominion universities respectively. The speaker for this grand occasion was Brother Louis Paris, an anchorman with local station WTKR-TV. The elected officials of Epsilon Pi chapter for 1985-86 are as follows: Brothers Gregory W. Willis, President; John C. Smalls, Vice-President; William C. White, Treasurer; Steve Butler, Recording Secretary; Pernall

B a n k s , Community Projects Director; Mark Bartlett, Sweetheart Court Advisor; and Kenneth Sutton, Graduate Advisor. E Pi welcomes correspondence from all other chapters with regard to your functions. We will continue to be the traveling chapter we are, spreading the Light of Alpha where ever we may go.
