To further enhance our chapters reputation for
professionalism and etiquette, many brothers
attended an on-campus Etiquette Dinner
presented by Career Services. Philanthropic efforts
continued with the chapters volunteerism at Give
Kids Sight Day at Wills Eye Hospital where
uninsured children received free eye exams and
glasses.
The year concluded with the initiation of 9 new
members! Unfortunately, we are saying goodbye to
the re-founding class as they pass from collegiate to
alumni status. We congratulated them with our
second annual Graduation Roast. The end of the
year was also filled with fun during the Greek
Olympics where our philanthropic efforts
throughout the year were recognized when the
Epsilon chapter of Phi Delta Chi paired with Sigma
Phi Zeta placed first in the philanthropy event.
This past year was a monumental year for the
Epsilon chapter. As our beloved brothers enter the
real world and younger members are molded into
future leaders of pharmacy through their
involvement in Phi Delta Chi, I would like to
congratulate each and every brother and wish them
luck for the next year. Let us continue to be a
presence on our campus and be highly regarded as
leaders not only in pharmacy, but also in scholarship
and our philanthropic efforts.

Epsilon has made several
improvements to intrafraternal
communication this year. We began a
group texting service under GroupMe,
which helped keep brothers in the know
about upcoming events. This application
proved to be especially helpful to the
brothers on rotations over the past year
because it allowed them to have an easily
accessible medium to view real time
updates to event and meeting information
and potential time changes regardless of
where they were doing their rotations. The
app played a large role in their continued
involvement throughout the year. In
addition to GroupMe, we instituted a
Google Calendar and expanded our Google
Drive. The calendar is very useful because it
can be viewed on brothers phones at any
time, making event times and locations
easier to remember, and the Google Drive
provided a great way to consolidate chapter
documents and photos to make them
accessible to the brothers.

From my perspective as WKF, this was a very
successful year. We did a substantial amount
with little money, and actually ended the year
well on top. Kudos to our fundraising
chairperson, Josh Cohen, for his great work this
year. We were able to run our annual white coat
nametags fundraiser twice this year and we had a
very successful cardigan fundraiser. We were
able to fund many events, including a very well
organized Phi Del Careers in Pharmacy Week
and a What is a Rotation? round-table type
event, as well as funding brotherhood bonding
events.
Also, I would like to thank all of our chapter
brothers for paying their dues on time, as this is
crucial to the functioning of our chapter and our
ability to hold the events we do. Not only is it
beneficial to the organization, but your fellow
brothers, so that they to0 will not have to pay
increased dues...remember AAAE.
Looking forward, we were able to develop a
financially stable organization. We cannot carry
out any of our ideas without funds. Also, we
must not overspend and deplete our funds. I
believe we will have a firm start, financially, in
the 2014-15 school year, which will allow us to
grow stronger as an organization, and increase
our presence in the campus community.

This year, brotherly bonding within our
chapter continued as usual. With the
numerous events on campus that Epsilon
chapter had organized, Brother turnout was
excellent, especially from our newer additions
to our chapter. Rush events that were held
throughout the year served a dual role of
gathering interest from potential brothers
while also catering to the relationship of
current brothers. Our local Millcreek Tavern
(aka The Track) served as a meeting place for
several formal events including our Winter
and Formal and Graduation Roast for our
recently graduated Brothers. Our year
concluded with our Spring Formal which as a
change from our usual dinner in Atlantic City,
was held at Barra Italian restaurant in Old City.
I look forward to the new chapter in Epsilons
history as we say farewell to our refounding
class.
