 Chi Gamma Epsilon ( " Chi Gam " ) was founded in 1905 as the Gamma Epsilon chapter of Kappa Sigma , a national fraternity . The Dartmouth chapter dissociated from the national fraternity in 1987 . The disputes with the national organization were primarily over the amount of loans the national organization could offer the local chapter . Initially , the new local fraternity adopted the name Kappa Sigma Gamma , but the national fraternity took offense to the likeness of the names . After a period simply being known by its address , 7 Webster Avenue , the fraternity came upon the name by which it is now known . Chi Gamma Epsilon made national headlines in 1998 for co @-@ sponsoring a " ghetto " theme party with the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta sorority that many found to be offensive for its racial stereotypes of African @-@ Americans . Several Chi Gamma Epsilon / Kappa Sigma alumni brothers found fame in Major League Baseball careers , including all @-@ star players Brad Ausmus , class of 1991 , and Mike Remlinger , class of 1987 , and former Baltimore Orioles General Manager Jim Beattie , class of 1976 . Other prominent brothers include Vivid Entertainment President William Asher , class of 1984 @.@  and eBay Inc . CEO John Donahoe .
