We have and will continue to support our undergraduate chapters in an effort to promote scholarship, service, and friendship for it is our belief that these ideals are the ultimate investment opportunity, now and in the future. From the glory of the beloved Greenhouse, to the time of the Dirty Dozen, to Elizabeth Street and beyond, the spirit of Eta-Kappa has stood the test of time.
