Epsilon Gamma Housing Corporation Update

By Scott Nadeau `89, housing corporation president

The EGHC held their annual meeting on Saturday, August 15th at the house.

The Executive Committee was elected as follows:
Scott Nadeau `89 - President
Phil Klassen `09 - Vice President
Jon Eadie `93 - Secretary
John Reineke II `09 - Treasurer

In other board elections, Jeff Wandzel `89 and Scott Sawyer `99 were reelected to three year terms.
The EGHC would like to welcome Steve Desmet `94 to the board. As most of you know, Steve has been
running the poker tournament at the golf outing for the past few years. He also recently joined the committee
for our 25th Anniversary Banquet, so joining the board was a natural progression.

The Housing Corporation would also like to thank outgoing board member Steve Grenus `88 for serving on
the board for the past few years and for all of his dedication to the chapter over all of these years. Steve is
currently working on location for Oracle in Kansas and his sage advice will be missed.

In terms of the house itself, it still remains in excellent shape and shows very little wear from the $100K+
renovations that took place in 2005 and 2002. The rent we charge is still lower than other fraternity houses,
and our facility is the best on campus. The chapter is in the process of renovating the basement and we may
see some improvements by homecoming.

One big improvement will be the installation of a permanent dehumidifier in the basement that drains into the sewer system. There will also be a few landscaping improvements made to the front of the house soon, they are also scheduled to be completed by homecoming.

On the activities front, Bob Seeber Jr. recently announced that the Seeber's will continue to sponsor the
Robert A. Seeber/Lenny Varner International Pig Roast and we may see a few "enhancements" to the
2010 event. I'll post more details when they are finalized.

Epsilon Gamma Housing Corporation Update

By Scott Nadeau `89, housing corporation president

The Epsilon Gamma Housing Corporation met last Saturday in Farmington Hills at the Law Offices of Jonathan B. Eadie `93. The full minutes of the meeting will be posted on our web site later in the week, but here are a few highlights from the meeting:

• The EGHC is facing a few budgetary issues this year as pledged contributions are not coming in like they are supposed to.
• The Chapter is projecting 10-13 occupants in the house next year.
• Pig Roast is April 18th - We would like to incorporate ideas that would maximize family attendance.
• The tentative date for the golf outing is July 11th.
• The silver anniversary anniversary for the chapter in 2010 will be held in conjunction with homecoming or Western weekend.
• Scholarships awarded by the EGHC will now be awarded by the entire EGHC instead of a small committee
• Renovation plans for the basement have changed and will now be less extensive in nature. Work may start as soon as this semester.
• The Chapter presented a proposal for a change in the alcohol policy for the house, mainly dealing with the storage of unopened containers by residents over 21.

In the next few weeks, the EGHC will be discussing the pros and cons of changing the alcohol policy in the house to allow residents of the house who are 21 and over to store a small amount of adult beverages in the house, as well as allowing consumption of alcohol during scheduled alumni events such as homecoming. The discussion will be taking place on-line in a closed discussion group.

If any of you are passionate about the topic in one way or another, please feel free to send me well thought out, constructive comments. I'll post your comments in the discussion thread.
