I'm happy to report that your Illinois Alpha chapter is wrapping up 115 years of operation at the University of Illinois.
SigEp's role on campus is becoming increasingly important. Illinois Alpha is helping young men learn and develop skills that aren't taught in the
classroom but are critical to professional success and personal happiness.
As an alumnus, you are an important part of this life-changing impact and we are excited to share with you important updates regarding chapter
membership, academics, leadership development, professional preparedness, and more. Illinois Alpha's undergraduate and volunteer leaders hope
this update and future communication serves as an inspiring invitation to all alumni to reconnect with Illinois Alpha and support the phenome-
nally talented young brothers currently in the chapter.
I have been serving as Illinois Alpha regional director throughout this academic year, and it has been a pleasure to assist the brothers in creating
an ideal SigEp experience that prepares them throughout college and beyond.
