Alpha Epsilon Hall of Fame
Inductees into the Alpha Epsilon Hall of Fame are alumni bothers who
upon graduation from the university have gone on to lead distinguished careers and excelled in their
chosen field of work. In doing so, these individuals have brought tremendous credit and honor to
our fraternity. This award was first presented in 1979 to former U.S. Congressman Sydney Herlong
’29 (AE 49). To date, 12 of AE’s most prominent alumni have been inducted into the chapter’s hall of
fame. Each of these honorees has their portrait on display on the Wall of Honor in the alumni library
