The fraternity enjoyed 50 years on Emory & Henry's campus until the brothers took part in activities that lead to the dischartering of the fraternity. In January 2006 Eric Etueati began to look into possibly re-chartering the fraternity. He asked Nathaniel "Nate" Griffith to also be a Re-Founding father. The two of them began their journey on resurrecting the fraternity. They eventually pulled Gairdt Edwards in as well as the Third and final Re-Founding father. The three men took the fraternity to Greek council where it passed 8 to 1. The men then took the brotherhood to Emory & Henry's student Senate where is unanimously passed. On April 19th 2006 the Dom-I-Necher fraternity was once again the oldest fraternity on Emory & Henry. Some of its proud alumni include: Joe P.
