Brothers,
It pleases me greatly that there is so much activity on this board about the Epsilon-Theta colony at UCSB. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Jameson Tyler Drew, I am the current Gand Master of the Epsilon-Theta colony. I am one of two legacies who created the colony back in the fall of 2004 (my father was a Beta-Theta and Tristan Handland's father an Epsilon-Delta).
The story of the Epsilon-Theta colony is one of legend. Beginning as a promise to a dying father, I strove to become something I knew nothing about. It was along the way that I met 67 men of varying religions, incomes, races, and creeds. I also became friends with one Steven Alonzo Jackson, Ed Rogers, Bill McCormick to name a few. The dream of Kappa Sigma gradually evolved froma promise, to a challenge. Make no joke about it, the greek system (and its advisor) at UCSB are extremely hostile to newcomers. However, with some zeal (and my knowledge of real estate) we managed to grab a house formally owned by Lambda Chi Alpha. It is there, where we reside currently, that our roots have begun to take hold. We also hold the number 2 spot for recruitement in the country at the moment and are number 4 in community service hours.
It must be noted that none of this could not have been possible without the help of one Brother Julian Ungano of Pratt Institute and Mathew Gajeski (of Hofstra fame). They are currently serving as both GP and GMC, and I cannot thank them enough for their efforts.
Our current numbers, according to our grand scribe, are at 44. We have just rushed another 15 new members (despite the schools constant protest) and are well on our way to completing all of the workshops required to charter. Our DGM Chris Cooley (Fresno State) has also been extremely helpful in this task, bring the long arm of the law down on those greek advisors who wish to stunt our growth. Our only obsticle is one of money. Our current fundraiser, the Girls of UCSB Calendar, is going well but more calendar sales are needed if we ever want to be initiated. The website is
located here . Im sure if you contact Eric he can negotiate a good price for you. Winte rush is coming up, and we will not rest contentedly until we are once again the largest (and oldest) chapter on this campus.
Last, we cannot thank enough our two awesome ARMs: Mike Olivas (Sac State) and Kevin Madsen (UCI). they have been instrimental in kicking our asses when we thought we couldnt do it.
If you guys have any questions, or if you feel ike dropping by to surf to class, feel free to contact me at
