June 17, 2006 - EpsilonLambda.net Gets A Makeover!
Welcome to the NEW design for EpsilonLambda.net. This new design is VERY basic, using very little code compared to previous versions with mainly using basic information instead of overwhelming our guests, brothers and alumni with more than they can handle and/or know what to do with.
But as you can see, there is very little in regards to content. But please check back soon as updates are being made every day!
