Undergrad Momentum: New Brothers, Strong GPA, and Big Plans for Fall 2025
The future of Illinois Epsilon is officially in motion — and the undergrads are firing on all cylinders heading into Fall 2025.
5 New Brothers Initiated
We proudly initiated five new members, each of whom received their letters and are now fully active in the brotherhood. That brings us to 10 active undergraduate brothers — a milestone worth celebrating as we continue rebuilding from the ground up.
12 Total Actives and Growing
In addition to the 10 current actives, 2 of our Balanced Man Scholarship finalists have accepted bids, bringing us to 12 strong heading into summer. And based on continued engagement and follow-up, we’re feeling confident that 3 more finalists will accept soon — setting us up to launch the Fall 2025 semester with a solid 15-member chapter.
Academic Excellence Continues
The chapter’s Fall 2025 GPA is 3.563, the highest across Greek Row and #3 of all Greek organizations. Academic achievement is at the core of our values — and these results prove our brothers are living out the Balanced Man Ideal in both classroom and character.
New House, New Energy
Eight brothers are confirmed to move into the house this fall — and they are fired up about the progress. With Phase 1 renovations completed and Phase 2 underway, the buzz around 920 Hillcrest is real. From the great room to the first new suite, the transformation is lifting spirits and reinforcing pride.
Next BMS Campaign Already Underway
We’re also ahead of the curve on our next recruitment cycle. The Fall 2025 Balanced Man Scholarship campaign is already live with 9 applications submitted by incoming freshmen.
Optimism is high — and our undergrads are actively preparing for what we expect to be a strong Fall RUSH and new member class.
Looking Ahead
With new brothers, strong academics, energized housing, amazingly supportive and active alumni and a steady stream of Balanced Man applicants, Illinois Epsilon is on the rise. We’re not just rebuilding — we’re thriving.
Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come.
