During a visit by the National Chaplain on February 5, 2019, Epsilon Nu's brothers enjoyed a terrific even of fraternalism. The brothers gathered at Villa Capri Restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania and enjoyed a wonderful Italian dinner. During the course of the evening National Chaplain Lentini, presented the chapter several Fraternity-related gifts/honors to the Chapter. 

First the Chapter's members were each presented with a 2019 Epsilon Nu Chapter Photo Calendar. The calendar boasts various Chapter photos -- one for each month -- and lists the birth dates of each member of the Chapter since founding, as well as of our seven Founding Fathers, and our National Officers; additionally key Fraternity dates and school dates are highlighted.

Then the Chapter was presented with a "Brotherhood Banner" produced by the National Chaplain, Fr. Lentini. The banner shows a pictorial history of the Chapter over the past few years; it is 96" long and in full color. Brotherhood Banners have been produced for several different chapters this semester as a gift from the National Chaplain.

Finally, Past Chapter President Ryan Crosby received an official letter of thanks for his service as Chapter President of Epsilon Nu in 2018, and was then presented with the Past Chapter President Pin of the Fraternity. He was pinned by current President Dayton Strength. 

Our Epsilon Nu Chapter played host to its first ever National Event when this young chapter played host to the 2019 Western Leadership Conference on Saturday, February 2nd, 2019. Some 70+ brothers gathered on that chilly morning for the Conference (the Hadgkiss-Sundo Conference) held on the campus of Penn State Altoona. Epsilon Nu brothers hosted and coordinated this event filled with brothers from the Delaware Valley, Central Pennsylvania and Midwest Districts. The event went off without any problems and all who were present received an excellent fraternal education in topics ranging from risk management to social media usage to promotion of Italian heritage to chapter leadership, and more! It was a very successful day for Epsilon Nu Chapter and Alpha Phi Delta!
