EI Brethren:

Hopefully you’ve heard by now the success with PIKE rush this fall.  27 men for PIKE.  Next closest were SX and SN at 14. Thank you EJ Foreman for your work with the Rush Chair all summer! Everyone else was much lower.  While I’m ecstatic about winning, the overall numbers are disappointing for Greek life in general.  That said, its time to capitalize on this momentum and get these guys the training they need.

Sending to a few of you to hopefully build up our current account in this challenge.  I will send out a broad email to all EI alumni next week.  Perhaps someone with access to the EI alumni FB page could share

Here is information on the fundraising effort:  https://pikenow23.funraise.org/

As the info says, 50% immediately goes to chapter use toward PIKE University events (Leadership Conferences) – the other 50% goes to overall Fraternity programs.  There are some additional incentives once we get over the 5K and 10K mark, including a free hotel stay for the officers at the Executives Conference in Memphis next January.

Here is our page:  https://pikenow23.funraise.org/team/epsilon-iota-southeast-missouri-state

We are presently in 113th place, behind several closed chapters, with my donation just to get us on the board.

Please consider making a gift, even if a token $100, $50, $25.00 amount (yes, it is tax deductible).
Please forward to any of your own era friend groups and promote.

Thank you in advance,

JUSTIN A. BUCK

Executive Vice President

Brothers Mark Your Calendars

The Pike 60’s Reunion Steering Committee has firmed up dates and location for our reunion. The Reunion will be held at the Drury Plaza & Conference Center in Cape Girardeau, MO. The reunion will kick off with a reception on Tuesday evening, October 4. The Steering Committee is working on activities for the 5th, with a dinner that evening, and will culminate with sad good-byes on the 6th.

We now need to get a firm handle on how many Brothers plan to attend, how many will bring their spouses or significant other, and if they will be staying at the hotel. The steering committee is strongly encouraging spousal attendance. Many of our Brothers are married to their college sweetheart and we think they also would love to get together again. This information is needed in order to negotiate room and banquet rates and calculate costs.

Please respond to this e-mail letting us know:

1. whether or not you plan to attend;
2. whether or not you will be bringing your spouse or significant other; and
3. If you will be staying at the hotel.

In addition, below is a list of the Brothers that so far have expressed interest in attending a 1960’s Epsilon Iota Reunion. If you remain in contact with others, please contact them and find out if they are interested. If so have them contact me at smokey338@outlook.com so I can add them to future updates.
