Epsilon Nu Chapter est. 1970
Boise State University
Epsilon Nu was founded in 1970 with only 22 women. We now have over 160 women in our chapter as of 2024. Style, aesthetic, slang, and bylaws have all changed. One thing remains the same, tradition.
“I ran for VP of ritual and Fraternity Appreciation because after I was initiated I felt a deeper connection to Alpha Chi Omega. I realized what a special that time was, to be sharing an experience that thousands of Alpha Chi girls have experienced before me. Upholding our traditions and rituals provides a sense of continuity and belonging, as we are becoming part of the Alpha Chi Omega legacy!”
Sarah Robinson, VP Ritual
