Our chapter was founded at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey on November 15th, 1987. Our chapter was founded by 9 strong, motivated, and dedicated women who are still active and present at Rutgers University. Our chapter was founded at Frelinghuysen on the Latin Images special interest floor. Epsilon chapter is known as the chapter of EXCELLENCE, a legacy which we hold dear to our hearts, as we perpetuate the mission of Lambda Theta Alpha here on campus and in the greater community. Epsilon chapter has been extremely innovative and has been responsible for significant progress within Lambda Theta Alpha. Epsilon chapter is responsible for the creation of the national newsletter of Lambda Theta Alpha known as Moonlighting. Epsilon chapter was also the first chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha to bring a full length play to our college campus. Epsilon chapter also has a strong focus on community service initiatives. We participate in the annual AIDS walk in New York City, the Breast Cancer Awareness walk, the March of Dimes, and the Big Chill just to mention a few. Our chapter also always achieves 100% participation in the annual Rutgers University Dance Marathon to raise money for our Adopt-a-Family child and the Embrace Kids Foundation for children with cancer and blood disorders. We have also been actively involved in the New Brunswick community by volunteering at local elementary schools tutoring New Brunswick youth.
