On April 14th, Epsilon Mu was awarded the designation of 5 Star Chapter by Butler University for the third consecutive year. Butler administration only bestows this honor to a Greek House when a chapter demonstrates superior performance in the categories of Campus Leadership, Educational Programming, New Member Programming, Philanthropy and Service, and Scholarship. For yet another year, Epsilon Mu was the only house on campus to receive this award. The 5 Star Chapter designation is the highest honor a Butler Greek House can receive.
The week of October 25th, Epsilon Mu will be hosting “Voodoo” our annual fundraiser to benefit the Indianapolis Dream Academy. The Dream Academy operates in the urban Indianapolis public school district and provides guidance and support for impoverished middle school students. Throughout the school year, our organization works with Dream Academy providing tutors and playmates to the children on a weekly basis, but this is our one opportunity to provide the monetary support they need to operate. This fundraiser consists of corporate sponsors, a benefit dinner, a silent auction, restaurant givebacks, and activities across campus.
