Pi Nu Epsilon aided the musical organizations at the Alpha chapter by sponsoring and promoting the musical activities on campus. It thrived for many years under the guidance of Dr. O. Gordon Erickson, who served as Music Director at Armour Institute of Technology from 1932 until his death in August 1953. In 1940, Armour Institute of Technology and Lewis Institute merged to form the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Pi Nu Epsilon was formally incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of Illinois on May 16th, 1947, by DeWitt H. Pickens, John G. Seeger Jr., Hans H. Nord, and James W. Leichti. Later that month, on May 28th, 1947, the Beta Chapter was founded at Drexel Institute of Technology. Gamma Chapter (later renamed Epsilon) was founded on April 30th, 1955 at Ursinus College. Delta Chapter was founded on May 12th, 1956, at Shippensburg University.cite web
