WASHINGTON
ALPHA
e
I
n just the small span of a few years in
Pullman, many of us turned acquaintances
into brothers, and those brothers into lifelong
friends. We have traveled the world together,
celebrated marriages, childbirth, career
milestones, sporting events, and more. Many
are raising families and running businesses
together.
Today, Washington Alpha continues to provide
that brotherhood-building experience to
young men despite Greek Chapter closures,
a pandemic, and an ever-evolving landscape
of the modern college experience and its
challenges. We wouldn't have a house to
write about if it weren't for a handful of
exceptional brothers that keep us moving
forward, and similarly, an outstanding group of
undergraduates doing their part by keeping the
Chapter House as strong as ever in just about
every measurable metric.
Since the last issue of The Washington Alpha, the
undergraduates hosted an alumni golf tournament
at Palouse Ridge Golf Club and an alumni
tailgate in Lot 1 during Homecoming weekend.
Both events were well attended. It was great to
see the Fraternity doing well, connect with the
undergraduates, and reminisce with other alumni.
Watching our Cougar football team crush Cal
28-9 was the cherry on top.
We launched the newsletter this past spring
(tinyurl.com/WaAlphaS22) as part of our
alumni outreach drive. We're making solid
progress in our mission to engage with those
we've lost contact with, shoring up our list of
"lost brothers," and exploring more ways to
connect with one another. We hope you enjoy
these updates and will take the opportunity to
reconnect with your brothers and Washington
Alpha soon. We urge you to visit the link to the
right to check our current list of lost brothers—
you might be able to help us as we attempt to
reconnect with these alumni.
To ensure you stay informed about future
events, make sure we have your contact info!
If you received this newsletter physically in the
mail or a digital copy via email, that's great! If
you want to update your contact info, send an
email to updatemyrecord@penningtonco.com
with SigEp Washington State in the subject line.
If you haven't already done so, check out
mysigep.org to access Chapter info, the alumni
directory, the digital SigEp Journal, volunteer/
mentoring opportunities, and ways to interact
with the National Fraternity. Finally, join our
private Facebook group, "Sigma Phi Epsilon
– WA Alpha Alumni" and follow @sigepwsu
on social media to stay closer to the action.
As I type this, one alumnus is giving away
tickets to this week's football game and the
undergraduates are sharing updates from the
2022 Queen of Hearts competition.
