Chapter Sweet Chapter

Epsilon Psi (North Carolina-Asheville)

Epsilon Psi Chapter was installed at the University of North Carolina-Asheville (UNC Asheville) on November 21, 1992. On November 12, 2022, just a day after Founders Day, Epsilon Psi members hosted a 30th anniversary celebration for their beloved chapter. Collegians, alumnae and even some charter members attended the event. And for sisters who couldn’t celebrate in person, a virtual get-together on Zoom took place.

The day was full of fun activities that fostered sisterhood and connection. Some of the chapter’s leaders delivered heartfelt speeches about Epsilon Psi’s members and successes over the past three decades, including former Chapter President Kate Maser. Kate mentioned how much she loves her chapter’s commitment to belonging, equity, diversity and inclusion (BEDI) work and resiliency. Last year, members had to be exceptionally resilient when faced with a strong Abolish Greek Life Movement on campus, which they were and overcame.

“We relied on each other for support and strategized ways to move forward, like educating our members about our values and commitment to BEDI work within and outside our chapter,” Kate said.

Kate also mentioned how much she admires her small but mighty chapter, as she added, “Our members give so much to this chapter. Because we are a smaller group, we have members upholding multiple positions. I marvel at that level of dedication.”

Here’s to 30 years of Epsilon Psi Chapter and 30 more!
