Tradition of Academic Excellence Continues at Epsilon
Undergraduate Sisters Support Autism Speaks
T
he undergraduate sisters of Epsilon Chapter have been focused on academics, Autism Speaks,
and making a phenomenal new member class feel at home this fall.
All About Academics
After 24 women made the Dean's List last spring and eight sisters earned a 4.0 GPA, we've been
highly motivated to build on that scholastic success. At the beginning of this semester, we rolled out
a new academic plan to ensure our members are reaching their highest potential.
Xingo! Alpha Xi Delta Hosts New Fall Philanthropy Event
Epsilon changed things up this year for our fall philanthropy event. In years past, we have done a chili
feed to raise money, but this year we hosted a bingo event called Xingo with silent auction items. Our
vision was to draw out more families and students to the event to maximize donations for Autism
Speaks and we had great alumnae participation to get us started. Sisters have also been participating
in numerous other activities on campus, such as Dakotathon (formerly Dance Marathon), Amnesty
International, and Colleges Against Cancer.
Inspiration from National Convention Leads to Strong Recruitment
Philanthropy Vice President Clare Fiore '18 and I attended the national convention last summer
in Seattle, Washington. Our time spent with hundreds of other women was the exact inspiration we
needed to bring back to the chapter to rock formal recruitment. We recruited 32 amazing new mem-
bers who all have potential to help Epsilon flourish in the coming years.
More Exciting Things to Come at Epsilon
With elections just a short time away, I have no doubt this chapter will be left in the best of hands. Our
women are truly realizing their potential and bringing out the absolute best in Epsilon.
