It is very relreshing to see our guj's taking a lead role in the community and making a conscious effort to be seen and respected. The3' are a credit to our fraternity and to the Greek system as a whole. The past four years have been very tedious; we have been rebuilding the house, making sure the chapter does not become fragmented and making a seamless transition into the new era. We have been overwhelmed by the support and interest of our alumni in the project and hope that it will continue into the next millennium. The cooperation between the undergraduate brothers and the House Corporation has been enjoyable, and one ol mutual respect. We leel that this relationship will grow and evolve in a wa\'that will ensure that the traditions ol Epsilon never wane. The ongoing assistance of the graduate brothers is a must. It is essential that everyone remember vour days at Vance Hall, the fond memories that will last forever, and do your part to help the chapter. Financial contributions are always welcome and are greatly needed in order to keep the house in good working order. The undergraduates are doing their part by increasing their numbers and running the internal finances smoothly. As brothers, we all have a responsibil ity to make sure that Vance Hall will remain strong for many to enjoy in the future. I hope ever\^one will be around this fall for the football games, to see the house, to reminisce with B.T. and to get to know the undergraduate brothers.

This fall's recently completed Rush was a huge success with eastern North Carolina once again dominating the field. We have 12 pledges who will surely prove to be valuable assets to Epsilon. Once again we have come through with a pledge class of outstanding men. The renovation of Vance Hall has helped to ensure that Epsilon will continue to thrive for years to come. We all are grateful for the graduate support that has allowed us to live in the nicest fraternity house on campus. We hope that as many alumni as possible will come enjoy Vance Hall with us this year for home football games or whenever you happen to be in Chapel Hill. You will also be pleased to learn that B.T.'s health has improved so much that he has been able to resume his duties in the kitchen this year after a oneyear hiatus. All of us are excited to have B.T. back to liven up dinner and tell stories about the old days. As you can tell, things couldn't be better for everyone at Vance Hall. We hope all of the graduates arc doing well, and we want to see you all soon. Perge! Mike Brown Wilmington, N.C. Vic Ogburn Smithfleld, N.C.
