Last Call for EP Golf Outing
July 13, 2024 (2 p.m. Shotgun Start)
It's really last call for the EP Golf Outing as 80 EPs are already registered and the deadline from the course is this Friday. We can place you into a foursome with other brothers as needed and we're looking for our last 4 Hole Sponsors ($101) to advertise your business, honor your class, or remember someone special.
Golf registration, including dinner is $100/golfer with dinner-only $30pp. Actives, Dec 2023 grads and May 2024 is only $30/golfer.
Register ASAP and pay via the Golf Outing Link (or Venmo: @EPAA-GCC). Enter the total amount (e.g. $100 Golf + $101 Hole Sponsorship = $201). Email Tuck tommyt9951@gmail.com with questions or foursome requests.
EP Website is Updated: The modern version of the EP website was created by Justin DeMild (GCC 2024), who was dedicated to connecting EP alumni from around the world to our strong heritage and providing opportunities for our active engagement. "DotMild" is now applying his talents as a co-founder of DSB Media and the EPAA is grateful for his past service.
Justin's former roommate and Active EP, Max Muncy is our new Webmaster. Visit https://www.epsilonpifraternity.com/
The very current edition of the GeDUNK, GCC's alumni magazine has a great article, "Honoring a Legacy" about the deep and lasting impact that members of Epsilon Pi have had on the Grove City Football Program. Follow this link GeDUNK and look to page 6.
EP 105th Homecoming: Weekend of October 12th
It's also time to register for the EP 105th Homecoming over the weekend of October 12th. GCC is processing dinner registrations and payments and the GCC Homecoming site is now live.
Start off with a round of golf at GCCC on Friday afternoon at GCCC organized by Dave Mannion.
The EPAA will have the largest Homecoming tent and big plans to serve 200 hot picnic meals to EPAA alumni, friends, and families. Last year EPs from eight decades (1950's to 2020's) were represented!
Festivities will culminate with a traditional Homecoming Dinner Dance at the Doubletree Hotel in Cranberry. We will be adjacent to the Gamma Chi 105th and the Phi Sigma Chi 100th celebrations and President McNulty will stop by to provide an update on GCC activities.
We're looking for EP Alumni to walk or ride in convertibles with an EP banner in the Homecoming Parade.
Watch for an announcement about quarter-zip shirts with embroidered EP logos for pre-order and pick up at the tent.

The opportunity to play football drew my initial attention to Grove City, but once I realized I would get a great education in the process it made the decision to attend GCC an easy one. My friends were all interested in becoming EPs and the heavy football connection within Epsilon Pi drew me to the fraternity.
I was a Conservation Biology major, but my career interest shifted and lead me to enroll in the Pennsylvania State Police Academy and I graduated with the 169th cadet class in May 2024. At my graduation ceremony I had the great honor of having my badge presented to me by my cousin, Trooper First Class (Retired), Jim Fry.
I am currently serving in the Clarion, PA Station and living at home in nearby DuBois, PA with my parents and sister, which is a great opportunity to save some money, pay down my college loans, and get ready to find my own place.
I have many memories of the EPs while in school but one of my favorite memories was getting to hang out with the actives and alumni after the 2023 EP Golf Outing the summer after graduating.
Note: Golf cart driving lessons are strongly encouraged.
