Dear Brother,
We hope you and your loved ones are having a safe and happy year. It has been some
time since Epsilon Zeta had a functioning Board of Governors, but we are committed to
changing that. We became involved again in the Epsilon Zeta Chapter in early February
when Craig Stepien learned that the chapter was in financial trouble and that national fraternity
threatened to revoke our Charter on June 1, 2001.
To date, we had three Board of Governor meetings and are working with the current
Executive Board, in an attempt to get the chapter finances in order. The chapter is 31
members strong, most which are sophomore and freshmen. Currently, the chapter owes
National $5,800. The chapter�s current debt is paid in full. Most of this debt occurred
before the current members became brothers. The chapter has a pledge class of 7
associate members.
The chapter had two fundraisers in March and sent a payment of $2,000 to National
towards past debt. National is willing to waive $1,900 in debt as long as the
remaining $1,900 is paid by June 1, 2001.
We hope to raise enough money to pay off the balance by having an Alumni Fundraiser.
Below is a list of Alumni that have made a pledge:
$100.00______________________________ $50.00
Tom Ras_________________________Darren McCarty
Brian Ferguson__________________Steve Goldstone
Craig Stepien___________________Jeff Griner
Scott Trapp_____________________Mark Fiorini
Jimmy Corapi____________________Louis Buono
If you are interested in helping to save the chapter, please send a check, by May 11th, made payable to Craig Stepien. Craig�s home address is 5945 King Hill Drive, Farmington, NY 14425. We will make certain that the funds go directly to National.
We are going to plan a Reunion in Buffalo, on Homecoming Weekend. Once Buffalo
State releases the fall Football schedule we will mail everyone a flyer. Homecoming
Weekend is typically in October.
If you receive this letter even though we don�t have your current address, please
forward your new information, including your Email address to Craig Stepien, so we can update our mailing list. Also Jeremy Kirsh created an Epsilon Zeta Web site. You can visit the site and leave your updated information in the guest book and leave messages for other brothers.
