We hosted a spring initiation at Epsilon Beta on April 28-29 to have her, along with some women from the fall '16 pledge class, get initiated before the end of the semester. Even though spring semester is slightly more laid back when it comes to events, we are still really enjoying strengthening our bond as sisters in as many ways as possible. We are excited to share the amazing things we have been doing; feel free to check out our website (listed on page 6) to stay up-to-date with our chapter as well.
