Nu Alpha Phi, Epsilon Chapter, was founded by five asian male students of various backgrounds. As a result of the lack of unity and pride common among students of NYU-Poly, these five men emerged together and embarked on a mission to further enhance the college experience for themselves and their peers. These men fully accepted the responsibilities of creating the founding class of Epsilon Chapter at NYU-Poly.

Eugene Eng, Bailey Peng, Regis Tsai, Tyler Yao, and Peter Yu, worked together through a tried and true educational process which taught them the dedication and virtues which would guide them through life.

On May 14, 2000, Mammoth, Rage, Bounce, Shock, and Method, established the Epsilon Alpha class, thereby creating the first Asian-interest fraternity to exist in NYU-Poly. Following the example of those preceding them, they accepted the task of expanding Nu Alpha Phi and what it stands for, to NYU-Poly and ... to the world.
