What is EPSILON ZETA?
The self-destruction of this chapter is very similar to what happened to my fraternity at Florida State. We were shut down by our national organization in the same manner and under the same circumstances as the Epsilon Zetas at NFU. The events that take place in the book are things I witnessed or knew about. A lot of the dialogue is from that time. The main ensemble characters are fictionalized. They are composites rather than strictly based on a particular person. The timeline of events had to be changed. The events I wrote about took place over a few years, but for the book, they were condensed to a single semester. I couldn’t have told this story over multiple years, because every semester and school year was exactly the same. Semesters started with rush, initiation a few weeks later, and there were socials, pledge functions, lineups, football games, etc. The only thing that ever changed was the people.
