Epsilon Gamma (EG) was colonized on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in February of 1958, received its charter at the Bedford Springs, Pennsylvania, Convention that June, and was formally installed in November.
Recruitment was very successful all years, with quota always being met. The chapter finances were well-handled, and debt was not an issue during this period. Many sisters held leadership positions in campus organizations, and several scholarship awards were given to the chapter. EG hosted for the Nu Province Meeting in 1975.
Crew-neck sweatshirts adorned with fraternity letters were a popular item worn in many pictures. A pledge ball, held each year, provided the chapter members a chance to wear beautiful gowns. Social functions were held throughout the day, including many morning events. These events were much more casual than events held today. For most of the events, members wore everyday clothes rather than dressing up for a specific theme.
The chapter was ranked first in scholarship among sororities on campus in 1990. EG’s chapter goal was unify diversity through increased chapter attendance, sister support, and respect for ritual. Events at EG included: Valentine’s cocktail, spring retreat, rush workshop, scholarship banquet, Parent’s Weekend, spring informal, faculty picnic, Shrimp and Sauce, Graduation banquet, fall picnic, stranger mixer, Founder’s Day banquet, pledge formal, fall retreat, surprise mixer, and a sister outing to see The Nutcracker. EG had nine members of Phi Beta Kappa, nine members of Phi Eta Sigma (Freshman Honor Society), a member of the homecoming court, a member of the Order of the Old Well, the Panhellenic President, three members of student government, a varsity athlete, and three members of the Loreleis (an all-female acapella group). EG tried to make rush practice enjoyable by dubbing “Rush Queens” each day.
EG holds several events each year for just its members whereby the bonds of Kappa are strengthened. Some of these events include:
Events in 2011 included: Big Barn Bash and Sapphire Ball.
