Xi Chapter Get On the Ball Post Game Analysis


This spring semester, the men of Xi Chapter planned and executed their most successful philanthropy event in their recent history. Xi Chapter put together their second annual Get On the Ball for Children’s Miracle Network project to raise money for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, a Children’s Miracle Network hospital in the Atlanta area.

From the Xi Archives… The Xi Eye 1957
It was winter of 1957, and Phi Ep was on the move. The new addition to the house had been built. There was a new spirit of accomplishment among the brothers. Xi hosted the Southern Conclave, with representation from chapters at Georgia, Miami, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina State, Washington and Lee and Ole Miss. The 40th anniversary of Xi Chapter had been celebrated the year before. Thanks to alumnus Marv Gechman ’57, we have a copy of The Xi Eye that chronicles these stories and more. Check out this progenitor of our current alumni newsletter, and relive memories captured from that year.
