After the Ewing Senior and Community Center burned down last year, TCNJ became the host to a popular Trunk or Treat event that is typically attended by over 1000 kids. TCNJ XE chapter donated almost 5 lb of candy to be distributed at the event this year. We are proud to continue to support our local community through this donation.

On September 6th, TCNJ XE members and candidates came together to kick off the fall semester with our invitation social. This event provided us with the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with some of Chi Epsilon’s history and planned events, compete in a Kahoot game focused on Civil Engineering and TCNJ trivia (congratulations Julie for an impressive win!), and enjoy some local pizza. It marked an excellent beginning to the semester!

TCNJ XE participated in Dean Welker’s Ice Cream Social on 8/29 which marked a start of a new academic year. TCNJ XE plans to hold multiple exciting events this year. Stay tuned!
