A MESSAGE FROM OUR RECRUITMENT CHAIRS

I joined Epsilon Eta because it is a community of people brought together by a shared passion for sustainability and a desire to take that interest a step further by applying it professionally. As a transfer student, I was looking for a space where sustainability wasn’t just a buzzword, but something members actively explored through leadership, service, and professional development. From the start, I’ve been surrounded by people who care deeply about both the environment and each other through Epsilon Eta
As a professional sustainability fraternity, Epsilon Eta offers opportunities to explore the many paths of sustainability, regardless of your major or background. As a member you will build a strong professional and social network that can guide you, support you and expose you to diverse interests while sharing a common commitment to environmental impact.
If you’re looking for a community that will challenge you, support you, and help you grow I encourage you to learn more about Epsilon Eta. Please do not hesitate to contact Mia and me for further information. I look forward to meeting you all!

Joining Epsilon Eta last fall has been one of the most meaningful parts of my Cornell experience. Through this community, I’ve met students from a wide range of majors and backgrounds who are all united by a shared passion for sustainability. Coming in, I didn’t have a clear idea of what career path I wanted to pursue — only that sustainability was at the center of it. Being surrounded by members with diverse interests and approaches to environmental work helped me better understand the many ways sustainability can be integrated across fields and opened my eyes to potential career paths I hadn’t previously considered.
As a transfer student, Epsilon Eta also gave me an immediate sense of belonging. The friendships and support I found within the fraternity made my transition to Cornell far smoother, and I quickly found a group of people who felt like home. Through service, professional development, and social events, Epsilon Eta has helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of such a welcoming, driven community.
If you are interested in joining, feel free to reach out to Lana and me and sign up for our information sessions.
