Theta Chi - Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Epsilon Echo THE NEWSLETTER FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF EPSILON CHAPTER OF THETA CHI AT WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE WINTER 2018 110th Anniversary Celebration! Dear Fellow Alumni, Epsilon Chapter of eta Chi was founded back in March of 1909 and has operated continuously for the past 110 years. Let's celebrate our founding! To that end, we've reserved the Great Hall in Union Station in Worcester for our 110th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, March 16, 2019. is is the same location we had our very successful 105th anniversary event with over 200 Brothers and guests who attended from across generations of eta Chi alumni and undergraduates. Let's do it again! e central focus of this anniversary event is YOU! As such, there will be no formal dinner, no speeches from National or WPI, and NO COME- DIAN! is is a night where you can spend quality time just catching up with old friends and sharing some colorful stories about your time as an under- graduate or alumnus. It's a great time to reminisce about your part in our illustrious chapter history. With 1,300 active alumni, we have plenty of history and futures to share. Bring your pictures, your sig- nificant other, your best friends in the fraternity, and most of all, bring your Epsilon spirit. Registration for the event includes the space rental, hors d'oeuvres, and a cash bar. We are also planning a slide show of era pictures in which you might very well appear. Perhaps most importantly to enthusiasts, there will be two foosball tables set up as social vehicles and to continue some old scores. Any remaining proceeds at the end of the night will be donated to the fraternity charity, the United Service Organizations (USO) to support the troops. When you register, you will also have an opportunity to make a separate donation to the USO or the Epsilon Building Association property management fund. Event registration and more details will be provided via email and Facebook soon. Mark the date on your calendar now and start making plans. Talk to Brothers you're still in touch with and set up a road trip to meet up at the event. Book a hotel room and rental car if needed. You don't want to be that guy that everyone's talking about ("Whatever happened to him?"). Join us for the festivities and help celebrate 110 years of Epsilon!
