Chi Epsilon is an honorary civil engineering fraternity established in 1922 by students at the University of Illinois with the support and guidance of Dean M.S. Ketchum, Professor Ira O. Baker and Professor C. C. Williams. The 25 charter members took steps to expand the organization into a national fraternity and in following years additional chapters were established at a number of universities around the country. Chi Epsilon recognizes outstanding students and graduates for their scholarship, character, practicality and sociability in order to foster excellence, connectivity and engagement in the civil engineering community. Additional funding is needed to fully realize this display.
