I just stumbled upon this website today. It'd be nice if more chapters knew about it. Anyways, here's what we've been up to at the University of Illinois, Alpha Epsilon Chapter:
-Summer 2005: Replace old lights in dining room. Got new ceiling fans and it looks 10 x better.
-Fall 2005: Replace kitchen floor and paint kitchen walls.
-Last weekend, Friday 10th-Sunday12th: Sent 4 brave brothers to Canada in a blizzard to Toronto LTI. They hung out at Theta Xi and Tau Theta's houses, "liberating" a couple of select items to encourage them to come on back and visit us. A note was left at the Tau Theta house telling the guys that if they wanted to see their sign again they'd have to come down to Illinois and bring it back.
- Morning of Monday 13th: As I'm studying in my room, I hear the doorbell ring, and go to check it out. It's Peter, Brian, and Brandon from the Tau Theta Chapter. I'll be damned if they hadn't driven all night ACROSS AN INTERNATIONAL BORDER for their sign less than 24 hours after we took it. This is our newest chapter and they're already doing it up Comstock-style. We went out for the night to a campus bar and the guys had a great time. Brandon and Brian even helped us bet Chi Psi in an intermural bball game. By the way, if anyone's driving through Oshawa anytime soon, be on the look out for AE's Chapter Flag and an Illinois Fighting Illini wall clock. That thing got us to class on time!
-This weekend we will be sending a contingent of approximately 8 AE Zetes (Me Included) down to our Tulane chapter to help them celebrate Mardi Gras. Maybe we'll see some of you there...
-I'm also happy to mention we're in the middle of our best recruitment semester in the last 12 years. Our active membership is 22 brothers, and we have 9 pledges this semester, all freshmen. We're really excited, as they are all quality guys.
-Finally, we're always looking for road trip ideas, and our house isn't very large, but we're always willing to host other chapters too. Our phone number is 217-344-4280 or you can check out our website at
