Fall 2017 A L P H A E P S I L O N P H I A T T H E U N I V E R S I T Y O F I L L I N O I S Mu Chapter Strand of Pearls MU CHAPTER HOUSE SPARKLES AND SHINES WITH SUMMER UPDATES Plans Are Underway for the Mu Chapter Centennial Celebration H appy fall, Mu Chapter alumnae! In September, I visited Champaign for my fall House Corporation visit, and was able to see all of the work completed during the summer months. I am happy to report that the kitchen remodel with new appliances and exhaust system, first-floor window installation, and summer maintenance were all completed in time for the chapter members to move into the house. During each House Corporation visit, a thorough inspection of the house is conducted so we can address any needs and plan for future projects to ensure the chapter house is well maintained. As I shared with you in the last newsletter, the Mu Chapter centennial celebration is scheduled for May 2-3, 2020, in Champaign. Please email our house director, Holly Umland, at aephihouse@gmail.com regarding serving on the centennial planning committee. We hope that many alumnae will be in attendance. We hope to have the following events: campus tour, university archive tour to view the Mu Chapter archives, record oral histories from alumnae and chapter members to commemorate the centennial, celebration banquet, chapter house tour and brunch. Please join us in planning this exciting weekend! House Corporation and the chapter members are so appreciative of the alumnae who have contributed to the Mu Chapter annual giving campaign! Your support and commitment to Mu Chapter is greatly appreciated, and is important as we work to provide a well-appointed home for our members as we approach the centennial milestone and the years to come. Housing competition is greater than ever at the University of Illinois with one new sorority chapter house being built in Champaign, and another one in the planning stages. It is vital that the Mu Chapter house remains competitive with the other facilities. Future needs include new windows for all the bedrooms, remodeling of the bathrooms, air conditioning for both bedroom floors, and completion of stage two of the kitchen remodel.
