Letter from the Historian Alumni Brothers and Parents,

A Special THANK YOU to Alumni Brother Waleed Alhashar for the outstanding donation of $1,000.00! With chartering coming up, your donation helps bring Epsilon Nu back to Sac State!

My name is Jacob Brausch, current chapter Historian of Epsilon Nu. I’m in my senior year majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I am honored to serve as the liaison between you our alumni, parents and my brothers. We are coming up on our fifth semester representing Pi Kappa Phi as an associate chapter on campus. The influences we’ve had on campus have been tremendous and continue to grow with each new semester as we become stronger as a brotherhood/chapter. We are excited and looking forward to our official "chartering", November 17, 2013. My fellow brothers and I have been working hard to complete everything that is needed for an official "chartering" from our national office. We look forward to the future and continued success of our great chapter presence on the Sac State Campus.

Jacob Brausch, Historian

MYLC Update As an Associate Chapter, the lessons we learned and the examples of brotherhood we witnessed provided much inspiration. Our Executive Board was able to bring back pertinent information that helped to re-energize our brotherhood spirit. We feel that this will only help us with our goals towards "chartering".

PUSH Update for Spring 2013 PUSH WEEK PUSH Week Spring 2013 was a huge hit! We received tons of support from the Sac State Community through all four events and concluded the week raising over $1,000 to support people with disabilities. We spiced up the PUSH Week atmosphere with our new Hearts for Push competition, which sparked a huge support from the PanHellenic Greek Community. We would like to congratulate the winning Sorority Phi Sigma Sigma for their generous donation!

My name is Troy Petrunoff, and I have been serving as Archon of Epsilon Nu since December 2012. It has brought me great pleasure in seeing the advancement of the chapter, especially since the Spring 2013 semester began. Perhaps the starting point was our Exec Board attending Mid-Year in Dallas over the winter break. Regardless, the growth and restructuring has been great.

We have been working incredibly hard to re-charter the chapter; we made the decision to postpone chartering from April to November so that we, as a chapter, could recruit more men of C.L.A.S.S.(Character, Leadership, Achievement, Scholarship and Service), and put ourselves in a more solid position. I feel very positive about a November re-chartering, and look forward to sharing in the celebration with our EN alumni.

We thank you for your support, and a special thanks to Jacob Brausch, Historian, who has worked extremely hard in redeveloping relationships with you, our Alumni.

In Pi Kappa Phi, Troy Petrunoff
