       Archon Report


                      Brothers:

                      The   highly   anticipated
                      2018 fall semester has just
                      concluded,  and  the  active
                      chapter  has  settled  nicely
                      into  the  premier  fraternity
                      house  at  the  University  of
      Florida. Chapter move-in took place on August
      15 and since then the executive board—working
      closely  with  our  house  directors,  national
      headquarters,  and  alumni  advisors—have
      worked diligently to establish a culture and set of
      standards that will ensure the upkeep and quality
      of our new facility for a very long time. Having a
      chapter house once again to serve as a central
      location  for  meals,  social  events,  philanthropy,
      tailgates,  and  brotherhood  bonding  has  been
      better than we ever remembered. Thank you to                 The men of Alpha Epsilon, fall 2018 rush.
