Our Two Leadership Groups

Epsilon Rho currently has an Alumni Corporation Board and an Alumni Association. Our ACB is responsible for governance of the chapter, its programs, finances, and chapter facility as well as establishment of its goals and objectives. The Alumni Association has the goals of finding, connecting, and informing our alumni as well as providing feedback to ACB and motivation to the men of our active chapter.

These members are currently dedicating their time, ideas and resources to ensure the ongoing success of Epsilon Rho.

ACB President’s Report
“The Changing Greek System”
February 8, 2009

On December 2, 2008, a member of SAE fraternity in San Luis Obispo died due to acute alcohol poisoning. As you might suspect, the Greek system in SLO is again under intense scrutiny. Our Epsilon Rho Chapter is being held up as a gleaming example of leadership and what the support of an active alumni base can do for a chapter in providing leadership and guidance to young men. Your ACB members have been in close contact with the Active Chapter and the University to ensure our chapter continues to provide leadership opportunities for young men, and to guide the University Policymakers through this challenging time.

In November our chapter was rocked with unsupported allegations of the use of "date rape" drugs on unsuspecting co-eds. The chapter executive board was called before the school and over 50 members attended this ad-hoc meeting called by the Greek Affairs leader Stephan Lamb. The concern of our members and the quick reaction of alumni as a unit showed the University that Epsilon Rho was willing to examine itself to ensure it was not putting any student in danger. The chapter and the ACB immediately executed a membership review by an independent outside consultant in concert with the National Organization. I am pleased to report that we found without a question that these accusations were not related to members of the fraternity. ACB soon followed up with the University with our findings and corrective action plans to ensure that students are not put at risk. The National organization has seen our quick reaction as an excellent example of what an involved alumni base can do to guide young men into becoming responsible leaders.

Your ACB continues to work tirelessly to ensure the undergraduates at Cal Poly SLO have a top notch house and are leaders on campus and in the community. Our chapter continues to grow, change, and evolve in an era of higher academic requirements. Please take the time to volunteer for one of many positions to support the chapter and guide young men into tomorrow's leadership.

Our chapter members remain an example of leadership on campus with involvement in government, IFC sports, academic clubs, and in the community with philanthropy. The Chapter and ACB finances remain solid as we build a chapter replacement fund.
