The Epsilon Delta Chapter continues to grow with a chapter size of 83, following two successful new member classes! In addition, the brothers held a successful 31st annual alumni weekend this fall and are working toward acquiring letters on our main house. On Veterans Day, we hosted our third-annual "Beta Bow Tie" philanthropy, a fine Italian evening served by our brothers in classy pink bow ties.

ΕΓ | Mount Pleasant, Mich. | Est. 1985 Thomas Wagner ’18 wagne1tf@cmich.edu

The chapter house we live in was built in 1918, so we're excited to celebrate the 100th anniversary the next calendar year. We are currently the largest we've ever been with 87 total members (73 actives and 14 pledges). We also had the highest GPA among all fraternities, ending spring 2017 with a 3.08.

CENTRE

Ε | Danville, Ky. | Est. 1848 Michael Greathouse ’18 mgreat123@gmail.com

Our brothers were excited to once again report the highest GPA on campus last academic year. When we aren’t hitting the books, brothers can be found raising more than $3,000 for our local childhood development center or volunteering our time at a local wildlife refuge. We recently completed a brotherhood retreat, and are looking forward to welcoming a new pledge class in February.

CINCINNATI

ΒΝ | Cincinnati, Ohio | Est. 1840 Dean Hayes ’18 hayesdp@mail.uc.edu

The Beta Nu Chapter had another successful recruitment season. The chapter was highly selective and brought in 25 new members who represent the best the University of Cincinnati has to offer. We also successfully completed our second annual Clifton Cup philanthropic soccer tournament that partnered with professional soccer team FC Cincinnati.

CLEMSON

ΔΝ | Clemson, S.C. | Est. 1970 Jordan Byrne ’18 jabyrne@clemson.edu

The state of Delta Nu is strong. This semester, we recruited a 26-man pledge class, brought two new advisors on board, maintained the second-highest GPA in the IFC, raised more than $10,000 for the B+ Foundation through "Beta Lei," participated in two community service projects and finished second in the university's homecoming float competition. We look forward to the future and what's in store.

CHAPTER REPORTS

The men of the Epsilon Upsilon Chapter are excited for the future after pinning 11 new pledges this semester and celebrating 26 years at Carleton University. Additionally, we are honoured to host the annual “Hot Chocolate For Heroes” fundraiser to support wounded Canadian military veterans and their families. The future is bright for EY!

CENTRAL MICHIGAN

37 CASE WESTERN RESERVE

A smaller spring 2017 pledge class made us look deep into our recruitment process, and we're proud to have doubled our numbers this fall by inducting eight new members to our band. After many changes in both our advisory team and our executive committee, our chapter is proud that we continue to develop stronger men of principle each and every day.

CENTRAL FLORIDA

ΖΨ | Orlando, Fla. | Est. 2004 Justin Fucci ’18 justinfucci@knights.ucf.edu

During fall 2017, our chapter has grown exponentially through a great season of recruiting. We have inducted 23 bright minds into pledgeship and can see an exciting future for all of them in the chapter. This recruitment season has been our largest since our fall 2014 class. We look forward to the continued growth of our chapter.

HΘ | Orange, Calif. | Est. 2015 Wyatt Giampa ’18 giamp101@mail.chapman.edu

After a great recruitment season, we're flying through school and having a blast with our brothers. Hopefully this fall can be the semester we push our GPA to the top spot on campus! Eta Theta is excited for the new initiates, and we're pumped for year two of our philanthropy event, “Beta Theta Paws,” in the spring!

COLGATE

BΘ | Hamilton, N.Y. | Est. 1880 Matthew Cutcliffe ’18 mcutcliffe@colgate.edu

It has been a great year for the Beta Theta Chapter! In the spring 2017 semester, we recorded our highest GPA on recent record: 3.36. This fall, we have initiated 17 new Betas with a 100 percent pledge retention rate. Each and every one of them is an outstanding young man of principle and I personally am excited to see where they take this chapter in the years to come.

PUMPING IRON Refounding Father Ben Poore, Butler ’20, spent his fall break in the gym. Performing the squat, bench press and deadlift, the 19-year-old, 180-pound sophomore lifted a total of 1,484 pounds in the USA Powerlifting National Championships – enough to place first in his division.
