Epsilon Eta was conceived in the summer of 2014 at Camp Davis, UM's geological field station near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Inspired by the natural beauty and shared purpose of the Camp Davis community, founding members envisioned an environmental professional fraternity as a new way to promote environmental activism on campus. Back in Ann Arbor, they recruited additional members and spent the academic year drafting a constitution and building interest. Epsilon Eta welcomed its first class the following fall.
