You are invited to celebrate Epsilon Upsilon's 40th Anniversary. Our celebration will be taking place during the same weekend as Maietta College's Homecoming. Some of our events include a river cruise, a banquet dinner with speakers, a ritual ceremony for initiated brothers, and our annual Alumni v. Undergraduates football game. The tentative schedule is listed below, click here to view it. This celebration is open to your families, so please feel free to bring your spouse and children.

The cost of the weekend is not finalized, but it should be around $50 (not including hotel rates).
