Around 200 brothers and guests were able to attend the event ranging from the class of 1959 all the way up to the class of 2022. All attendees had the chance to catch up and share some good old memories from back in the day. ere was a cash bar for those who were 21 or older and a wide variety of hors d'oeuvres, which included sandwiches, meats, seafood, and vegetarian options that everyone enjoyed. During the event, there were two slideshows filled with many pictures from the different eras of eta Chi. Brothers were able to see glimpses of the sweet memories of college that eta Chi was able to provide for them. It was amazing to see how strong the brotherhood has been over 110 years. For some entertainment, there were two foosball tables that attracted the attention of several alumni and actives, who are starting to give the alumni some new competition. ere were also several other exhibits, including an officer history spreadsheet, room resident history, and an interactive map of all Epsilon alumni around the world. In the middle of all these events, the current president of the Epsilon Building Association (EBA) and of the house gave a great speech thanking everyone who was able to join us at the celebration, especially Chris Lacey '85, who won the Man Mile Award for coming all the way from Indio, Cali.
