Alpha Epsilon Re-founding Update

Dear Brothers in Chi Psi,

On behalf of the Epsilon Trustee Corporation, we wanted to provide you an update on the ongoing efforts to re-establish Alpha Epsilon of Chi Psi at the University of Michigan. You may recall the update we provided last June when we announced the kick-off of that process.

Extension Specialists Adler Rosenberger, ΦΔ ’19 and Aidin Montefisher, PΔ ’20, have worked closely with Alpha Epsilon Alumni to recruit eight exceptional young men to form a re-founding group over the last eight months. Representatives of that group recently took the next step by formally petitioning the Chi Psi Executive Council of Chi Psi for status as a Colony on April 24 at the Central Office in Nashville.

As the long-awaited process of restoring Alpha Epsilon to active status proceeds this year, I am writing to ask you to reaffirm your commitment to the Lodge so that we as alumni can show our support for a successful re-founding.

It is essential that the re-birth of Alpha Epsilon is led by an active and purposeful alumni Brotherhood. Your participation matters. Here are three important ways that you can be involved:

1. A strategic plan is in motion to rebuild our scholarship programs and make necessary physical improvements and updates to the Lodge. A committee is actively working on this effort, which will ensure that 620 S. State Street serves as a lifelong home to our undergraduates and alumni for another 100 years. This campaign will also fulfill our promise to make the Chi Psi experience available through scholarships to Brothers for whom it is financially out of reach. Provide your input on this critical plan by taking a short survey at bit.ly/Alpha-Epsilon-Survey.
2. Our new alumni website alphaepsilonofchipsi.com will keep you closely connected to Alpha Epsilon. Log on using the credentials we emailed you to use the searchable directory feature. Make sure your contact information is current or connect with a Brother! You can also contribute content to the site by uploading photos to the gallery.
3. Your support for our ongoing operation of the Lodge during this period is not only greatly appreciated, but also integral to the success of our re-founding. Please consider making a gift now by visiting our DONATE page.

With our re-founding upon us, it’s time to work together to re-establish Alpha Epsilon for a new era, and in so doing restore the Lodge to its rightful place as Michigan’s first and finest fraternity.

Yours in the Bonds,
The Epsilon Trustee Corporation

P.S. Sincere thanks to the Brothers listed below who have contributed to the Alpha in the past few years. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
