hanks to the tremendous effort from our House Corporation, the second
phase of the renovation work on the chapter house was completed on
time, and the house looks fantastic. As brothers moved in, they were pleas-
antly surprised with the central A/C throughout the house to keep them cool
as they worked through the heat.
Recruitment
We are currently housing 93 members of the chapter. Timely completion of
the renovation allowed us to transition smoothly into our recruitment events.
I'm proud to report we recruited 35 new members.
Academics
Our chapter continues to achieve academic excel-
lence. Our cumulative GPA stands at a 3.04 due to
the hard work from more than 130 active members.
Our chapter just passed new bylaws which outline a
mentorship program within the house to aid students
who may be struggling with their schoolwork.
Philanthropy
As a chapter, we are hoping to raise $10,000 in
philanthropic donations. Our Paddy Murphy Week,
which ran September 23-29, along with No-Shave
November, are our major philanthropic events this
semester.
Campus Involvement
One area for growth this upcoming semester relates
to campus involvement. I would like to see members
not only join outside organizations, but also hold
meaningful positions in these organizations. One
member who stands out is Jon Gaide '18. Jon is
the public relations chairman for PUDM, the largest
student-run philanthropic organization on campus.
In a time where Greek life is perishing on some universities, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon remains one of the only large chapters on Purdue's campus in good
standing with the university. Maintaining a positive image on campus will be
a priority for the chapter to prosper in the future.
Phi Alpha,
