SIGMA PHI EPSILON 5 Active Brothers Demonstrate What a Balanced Man Is Indiana Alpha Thrives Under Returned Normalcy A fter our decision to go completely virtual for the spring 2021 semester to follow Protect Purdue Guidelines and stop the spread of COVID-19, I am beyond happy to say that the Indiana Alpha Chapter has resumed all in-person activities. We have been fortunate enough to hold biweekly dinners and go to events such as paintball, laser tag, volleyball, and skydiving. With this, active brothers have been able to build stronger relationships and are even more focused on establishing this chapter as one of the best on campus. This semester, we held our third annual Balanced Man Scholarship, which is one of our best ways to meet potential new members who exceed the expectations of what a normal student here at Purdue is. We were able to put on several weeks' worth of recruitment events, where we had insightful discussions about SigEp with an average attendance of over 20 potential members. Potential new members were then assigned to a brother, and smaller interactions were conducted in person. This approach has been extremely successful, as we have gained nine brothers in the first half of the semester. Academically, our goal is to keep reaching for the highest all-campus cumulative GPA while continuously building our fraternity—one balanced man at a time. Lastly, I would like to thank all of those who have been supporting the Indiana Alpha Chapter. Without the continuous support and mentorship from the National Headquarters, invested alumni, the AVC, and all who want to see Sigma Phi Epsilon succeed at Purdue again, we would not be where we are today or where we plan to be in the future.
