alumni.oxepsilon.org The Alumni Corner T he undergraduates love hearing stories from alumni, and vice versa. We encourage you all to reach out and share any photos or positive experiences you may have had! These photos and stories are a great way to show undergraduates and new members the positive influence that their experiences will have during and after their time at WPI. As many of us know, the friendships we make while in the house last a lifetime. The content shared by our alumni can also be used in our next newsletter, so all alumni can reminisce and hear about the good times the Brothers still share even during this trying time. Send us a quick update on how you are doing, and we will put it in "The Alumni Corner" of the next ECHO. We strongly encourage connecting with us on Instagram and Facebook! You can also reach out to Alumni Relations Chairman Nicholas Pitti '21 at napitti@wpi.edu if you have any questions or need anything from the active Brothers. RECAPPING THE PAST, CASTING A BRIGHT FUTURE T he year 2020 will be remembered by many as one of the hardest years in recent times, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Epsilon has adapted and overcome these obstacles and continued to thrive. Our Chapter has had to change our lifestyle in light of the pandemic. We made a great house tour recruitment video for our Instagram page and website, leading to a successful virtual recruitment. Brother Ardavasd Ardhaldjian '22 led a design team to create our new website, an upgrade from the outdated one. One of our biggest accomplishments this year was getting the siding redone on the house, thanks to the hard work of the EBA. The new siding gives our home a modern, clean look and catches the eye. We were also proud to receive Fraternity of the Year. All of the active Brothers came together throughout the year and did their part in the Chapter to make it happen. Some individual Brothers have made large steps as well. Brother Alec Mitkov '21 was recently hired by SpaceX to work on the Starship rocket. Great job, Alec! In addition, Ardavasd won the election for IFC president. We also gave out our first chef's award this past term. Congratulations to Nickolas Gardner '22 for cooking the best meals! While we prospered throughout 2020, we look to 2021 with clear goals in mind. We continue to emphasize the sound integration of the new members into the brotherhood. Even with the pandemic restrictions, we believe this is our most important task. We also want to ensure the preservation of our traditions, values, and ideals, as some of the foundation pieces can be lost in the confusion of this unprecedented time.

The new website features a banner-style homepage along with many photographs from recent events, such as our annual hike up Mt. Wachusett, Summer Retreat, and the 110th. On the recruitment page, you can view our calendar (which had to be adapted for COVID guidelines) as well as an amazing recruitment video created by Brother Pete Springer '22.
