Epsilon Pi Alumni
The alumni organizations that support and guide the Epsilon Pi Chapter
501(c)(7) Social Club
The Epsilon Pi Alumni of Sigma Nu Fraternity (“House Corporation”) is the governing alumni body responsible for the chapter’s physical home at 601 Gayley Avenue. A 501(c)(7) social organization, it owns and operates the house in trust for future generations of Epsilon Pi brothers.
Since 2010, the House Corporation has overseen more than $3 million in renovations — rebuilding both wings, modernizing bathrooms and common areas, and completing a new steel sundeck in 2024 — while preserving the iconic exterior that has defined 601 Gayley since 1940. Over 300 alumni have contributed to this effort. The board works directly with the active chapter’s Executive Committee on house operations, standards, and long-term planning.

501(c)(3) Charitable Organization
The Sigma Nu Alumni Scholarship Fund (“SNASF”) is a 501(c)(3) charitable endowment that funds the largest Greek-affiliated scholarship program in the country. Currently valued at approximately $3.2 million, the SNASF distributes more than $225,000 annually in tuition support to undergraduate members of Epsilon Pi.
Founded on Brother Peter Merlone’s vision of helping members graduate without student loan debt, the SNASF has grown from a seed contribution to a professionally managed endowment backed by more than 100 alumni donors. Awards range from a base scholarship distributed to all members in good standing, to the $10,000 Gerald L. Coffee Scholarship — the chapter’s highest honor — which can cover a full year’s UCLA tuition when combined with status awards.
Donations to the SNASF are tax-deductible. The fund is registered in the Benevity Causes Portal for employer gift matching. EIN: 95-6193282.
