f fwironmmtal Sciatic? 611117 A real investment Public speaker, free conventions and a unique national job search program all bene- fit members of Rho Epsilon, the professional real estate fraternity. The University Chapter of Rho Epsilon was first established about five years ago. How- ever, the faculty advisor left, and with no one to take over, the club had to disband. Last summer Dr. Beverly McCormick, as- sistant professor of real estate, and Steve Damron, a senior real estate major from Pikeville, decided to reestablish the club. uIn August I wrote the new constitution and sent it in to the national office in Washing- ton, D.C.,,, said Damron. iiSince then we have grown from six members to 21. Rho Epsilon is for anyone with an interest in real estate; even people from the community can be members. We have real estate bro- kers here in town who are members of Rho Epsilon? said Damron. iiFor example, Larry Breeze, a Morehead broker, is a member. The club meets every two weeks, and at- tempts to have a different public speaker at each meeting. iiBasically what we do is pro- mote real estate. We have speakers who are city managers, brokers and attorneys. They discuss different elements of real estate, such as property managementf said Damron. Rho Epsilon also takes field trips. Right now we are trying to organize a field trip to Cincinnati. A developer there has invited us to tour some of his projectsf Damron said. We will probably go in April. I Prc- Vet 6111!! I The most important function of the club is the job hunt service which the national office in Washington, DC. provides. Members can write to the office and tell them what part of the country they would like to work in, and then the national office helps them to find a job in that area. I don,t know of any other organization on campus that offers this ser- vicef said Damron. Yearly seminars sponsored by the Kentucky Commission on Real Estate are also open to Rho Epsilon members. nThey give a broad view of different types of real estatef, said Damron. iiTheir speakers come from all over the nation and the world. The seminars are very educational? Club members also have the opportunity to attend real estate conventions free of charge. uIt would be expensive to attend them with- out being a member, so the cost ofjoining the organization is a good investment, said Dam- ron. After the initial $30 membership fee, the cost is $5 a semester or $10 a year. Upon graduation the member can become a lifetime member with a one-time fee of $100. After joining, members receive a newslet- ter from the National Association of Realtors, the campus club newsletter, a certificate of membership and a pin displaying the organi- zatiorfs Greek Letters. . e By: Karen Craigo 8: Donna Seward
