-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.negia.net/~srogers/beta/history.htm <A HREF="http://www.negia.net/~srogers/beta/history.htm">History of the Epsilon Epsilon of Beta Theta Pi</A> ----- The History of the Epsilon Epsilon Chapter of Beta Theta Pi Beta Theta Pi is both fairly new to the University of Georgia and fairly old at the same time. While the Epsilon Epsilon chapter itself is less than a decade old, the General Fraternity has roots over a century old at the University of Georgia with the Mystic Seven Society. The University of Georgia chapter was sponsored by the Gamma Eta chapter at Georgia Tech. In October of 1983 Boyd Baker and Greg Hunnicutt formed a group of students interested in becoming Betas and held two interviews with the General Fraternity in the Russell Hall dorm. About six months later the group of young men were officially granted colony status at a regional workshop in Atlanta. The initiation of our founders took place on May 18, 1984. Their numbers include: EE 1 Kenneth Gregory Hunnicutt EE 2 James Boyd Baker EE 3 Ronald Scott Coddington EE 4 Mark Stephen Vander Zouwen EE 5 Ronald Cartee Lewis EE 6 Paul Calvin White EE 7 Michael Joseph Coddington EE 8 Duffy James Dolan EE 9 David William Smith Next, we secured a house at 357 South Milledge Avenue and moved in over the summer of 1984. We have lived there ever since. The Georgia colony participated in its first rush in the fall of 1984 and pledged ten men. On Wednesday night, August 6, 1986, on the 147th General Convention in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Georgia colony petitioned and received chapter status. Formal installation took place in Phi Kappa Hall on February 7, 1987. We received the chapter designation of Epsilon Epsilon. In our first year as a chapter, the Epsilon Epsilon chapter received the coveted Sisson Award. We are the only chapter that has ever won the Sisson in its first year of exsistence. We have since received the Sisson Award nine out of our eleven years of existence. On April 29, 1994, we initiated our 200th member into our halls and currently go up to 296. Today the Epsilon Epsilon chapter faces the daunting challenge of finding a new home. We currently rent the house we have and are desperately looking for a place to buy. The Chapter is saving every penny in a house fund and we have recently increased dues to try and raise money. We have a Housing Corp which is looking for ways to get us into a new house. Unfortunately money is the biggest obstacle. The Epsilon Epsilon chapter will continue its tradtion of excellence that our nine founding fathers created. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
