Sigma Phi Epsilon - Purdue University

INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE O ur investment in Indiana Alpha will ensure the future success of our chapter and will promote a legacy upon which to build an even greater brotherhood. Today, perhaps more than ever, college fraternities play a relevant role in shaping the lives of young men. Sigma Phi Epsilon offers our members a solid foundation for their education and also affords opportunities for high academic achievement and the develop- ment of leadership and social skills. e Alumni and Volunteer Corporation has made a commitment to work hard in bringing Indiana Alpha back to Purdue and will work to bring new programs and traditions that will benefit the lives of so many SigEps for years to come. Our alumni leadership committed to this major undertaking, which will allow us to re- charter our chapter and renovate our house for the undergraduate men who be the foundation for our return to Purdue. We urge your thoughtful consideration of this plan. With your support, Sigma Phi Epsilon will provide a quality living environ- ment that supports, nurtures, and develops outstanding young men with the skills and confidence to face an ever-changing world. e commitment we make today cannot be underestimated—it will have a far-reaching effect on the lives of our Indiana Alpha brothers for years to come. 6 President Brian Rodell '99 Treasurer Brian Todd '97 Secretary Mike Ellis '84 Feasibility Study Co-Chairman Norm Nabhan '71 Directors Daryl Martz '76 Mike Davis '77 Jim Mosch '80 Housing Scott Swisher '79 Alumni Relations Mitch Salyers '93 Alumni Volunteer Corporation "ere are a number of things I valued from my time as a SigEp at Purdue. First and foremost are the lifelong friendships created from my time in the house. Fiy years later we still have a strong feeling of 'brotherhood' and completely enjoy one an- other's company! Another takeaway is the service to others I learned from working in leadership positions with campus organizations and volunteers from other housing options. ere is no question in my mind that my time as an undergraduate chapter member and as a volunteer alumni board member helped me build a successful career in business. Networking within the business community with other SigEps is a valuable tool." – Dana Smith '66 "SigEp teaches what the classroom can- not: respect for self and others, passion for diverse interests far beyond professional pursuits, habits of excellence in whatever a man chooses to do, and a lifetime com- mitment to development. With a team of committed alumni from Indiana Alpha and other chapters, the support of professionals from SigEp HQ, and the partnership of the university, we'll recruit and develop the men who want a different college experience." – Mike Ellis '84 "Over the years, our chapter house has been a gathering place for young men to practice brotherhood and create fond memories. In order to continue that tradi- tion, we must upgrade this home to meet the needs of the 21st century and better connect with Purdue and its community of higher education." – Brian Rodell '98
