Sigma Alpha Epsilon - Michigan State University

Gamma Phone Undergraduates Look Forward to Rechartering Actives Focus on Philanthropy Events 2 012 was a tremendous year for Michigan Gamma and we are looking forward to an even better 2013. With hopes of rechartering in the fall, we live out the values and the morals of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Our colony continues to make strides in the areas of academics, philanthropy, and campus leadership. Community Service Important to Colony During the fall semester, Michigan Gamma hosted a philanthropic event with St. Jude Children's Hospital. It was very successful and we are looking forward to partnering with them again in the future. Michigan Gamma has committed to working for the next three years with the Adopt-a-Highway program. We have adopted a stretch of road just outside of East Lansing in Williamston. Throughout the year members of the colony will take part in cleaning up the road. Michigan Gamma has also started to work with Children's Miracle Network in Lansing. Through this partnership we will host various fundraisers in order to give back.

Michigan Gamma recognizes the importance of working with other chapters on campus and we recently we partnered with Sigma Chi Fraternity to plan an ice hockey philanthropy event. Members of each fraternity played hockey games against each other and spectators paid a small fee/donation to watch. More than $2,500 was donated to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Prizes were given through a raffle contest, concessions, and an intermission game. 18 New Members Join Michigan Gamma Being a colony member is an experience unlike any other. We are forging the way for traditions that we hope will continue well into the future at MSU. These traditions are being carried out by our 50 colony brothers and 18 pledges. These new members are scheduled to be initiated as colony brothers at the end of April. We are very excited about their leadership and enthusiasm toward the colony and are looking forward to where they will take this chapter in the future. Alumni Support Sends 11 to Leadership School Through the support of many alumni, Michigan Gamma has been able to send 11 men to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon John O. Moseley Leadership School. This five-day event was attended by more than 700 undergraduates, alumni, and SAE staff and faculty on Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas. Michigan Gamma members spent time working on leadership, learning new skills and interacting with undergraduates and alumni from all over the world. With the support of alumni, we are hoping to send 12 undergraduate members to the 78th Annual Leadership School this summer. The men of Michigan Gamma are eternally grateful to all of the support we have received from alumni, family, and friends. We know that with your help the Michigan Gamma colony will soon be the Michigan Gamma Chapter. Thank you for all you've done.
