Gamma Epsilon
Chapter of
Beta Theta Pi
G
amma Epsilon is excited to announce
our new alumni relations program! Since
our founding in 1914, Gamma Epsilon
has influenced over 2,000 young men through our
brotherhood. With more than 1,300 active alumni,
we needed to incorporate a stronger communications
program to connect brothers of all generations. I think
that most of us would agree that Beta Theta Pi has
had a significant impact on our lives, both during and
after our time at K-State.
Our new program will include both print and digital
communication along with a more comprehensive set
of biographical updates for database management.
Long term, this will be a great asset for keeping
brothers connected. Our alumni relations team will
provide updates on programming and events through
seasonal newsletters, e-blasts, and other mailings.
Regarding events, we look forward to seeing increased
alumni interest and participation moving forward.
Though we have tried several alumni events in the past
in Manhattan, Wichita, and Kansas City, we haven't
found an event that truly inspires brothers to get
together. Over the next few months, be on the lookout
for updates and invitations for alumni events. If you
have any ideas, please let me know. We are always
interested in hearing feedback or adding brothers to our
alumni relations team. Any assistance or input you can
provide is welcome.
Our collegiate brothers in Manhattan continue to provide
the kind of experience we've come to know with Gamma
Epsilon – the best on campus. We secured another Knox
Award at convention in August and push for the top in
grades and intramurals each year. Several of our men
are involved on campus through student government, the
Student Foundation, the Student Alumni Board, and even
the K-State football team.
In this newsletter, we showcase the great things that our
students are doing. Our active brothers are doing many
of the same things you did when you were in Manhattan!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns
about our alumni relations program moving forward,
please let us know. We look forward to providing more
programming and events to reconnect
the brotherhood. Go Cats!
