Another Epsilon Chi Brother joins the Chapter Eternal

With much sadness Brother Dennis Hollander has joined the CHAPTER ETERNAL March 17, 2025

This is the way I remember Brother Dennis from 1962 when he was at Lamar Tech. This is our Epsilon Chi Fraternity Picture from 1962. 1961 is when we became the 1st group of Sigma Chis at Lamar Tech.

This is our 1962 Sig Group

This is a link to a post of Dennis Hollander’s response when Craig Ponder joined the Chapter Eternal https://www.blakehart.com/DennisTributethoughts.html This was typical of Brother Hollander’s love of brothers and of Sigma Chi. He and Brothers Jim Porter, Gene Davis, Bob Morgan and Craig Ponder getting ready to leave for a Sigma Chi workshop in Culver Indiana.

The way I post websites has been changed, so I could not add Brother Dennis to the list of those who have already joined the Chapter Eternal. There have been some of our Epsilon Chi brothers who have joined the Chapter Eternal and I did not post anything about them, but this link will give you many who have joined the Eternal Chapter. https://www.blakehart.com/AllHonortoTheirName.html

Brother Dennis will be missed by all and I will miss him not only as a Sig brother and as a true friend. Also because any time I posted something about Epsilon Chi I could always count on Brother Dennis to positively respond. One of those times he responded to tell me about John Wayne’s visited with the Epsilon Chi Chapter. Here is that link: https://www.blakehart.com/JohnWayneVisitsLamrSigs1963.html

In 1988 there was a reunion held for Epsilon Chi and this is the link showing those present at the ’88 Reunion and of course Dennis was there. https://www.blakehart.com/pondermemories2009.html

This was a post about the ’88 Reunion, but also about the passing of Brother Craig Ponder.

When Gene Davis joined the Chapter Eternal many of the brothers responded. Since Gene Davis, Dennis and Ben Beauchamp were all Houston apartment roommates at one time it was fitting that Ben post a Eulogy to his Sig Brother and friend. It is one of the most moving I have ever seen.

Brothers, I realize there is much information here and one can not traverse the links quickly, but remember it has been 64 years since we were initiated and remember too, I graduated from Lamar in 1962. Many things happened after I graduated. I submit this website as a small tribute to an outstanding Epsilon Chi, now as an Eternal Chapter member. Should anyone want to contact me use my Email: ebadon@sbcglobal.net.
