The 1990s at the Epsilon Nu

“Though time may pass, the bonds of brotherhood remain unbroken.”
A remarkable legacy
Among the many wonderful things Brett Eberlein, EN ’93, will be remembered for is passing the tradition of Psi Upsilon on to his sons. Brett and his wife, Kelly, had three boys, and by the Fall of 2025, all three of them were either Epsilon Nu brothers or on their way to entering the brotherhood. That’s quite a remarkable legacy.
The beautiful magnolia tree on the front corner of our beloved lodge was planted on April 27, 2024 in Brett’s memory by his Epsilon Nu brothers from the 1990s. Also attending the ceremony that day were Kelly, and their sons, Charlie, EN ‘24, William, EN ‘26, and Robert, who was an Epsilon Nu pledge at the time of this writing.
The special tribute to Brett that is pictured above was read aloud that day and has been placed on this website for all to see in the years ahead.
Brett and his brothers…
Brett and his brothers continued to build our chapter into one of the strongest fraternities at MSU in the early 1990s, and these composites show how it grew.
All three of the Psi Upsilon composites that Brett appeared in are shown here. He and his brothers remained close through the years, and when Brett passed away unexpectedly in 2022, the brothers came together again to support his family and each other.
Come back to this website again and again, because we will be adding more composites, pictures and stories from the 1990s.

The story of the Epsilon Nu chapter continues inside…
This website is the second in a series of special websites that the Hesperian Building Association is creating to bring the amazing history of our fraternity to life.
This chapter house was built in 1927 by a Michigan State literary society known as the Hesperians that formed in 1889. By 1943, the Hesperians were ready to affiliate with a national fraternity, so they became a chapter of Psi Upsilon. And if these old walls could talk, the stories they would tell!
Some of the best stories are told by our brothers who lived here in the 1960s. To hear some of their stories including one that involves legendary Michigan State football coach, Duffy Daugherty, step inside our historic Italian Renaissance house and go to the library. You will find another QR code in there that will take you to a website honoring our ‘60s brothers, and it has more stories and photos!
