We have made marginal improvements across the board while maintaining a Chapter GPA a point and a half above the next highest IFC house. SigEp members continue to be leaders in the community, holding positions in ASWSU, IFC, SEB, and more. I could not be prouder of the resiliency our membership has shown this year." –Cade Munro '24, President "We had some very successful philanthropies this year, including SigEp Quesadillas and our annual Queen of Hearts philanthropy. I was able to schedule an impactful in-house program that discussed social media consciousness with the head of social media for consumer brands at Microsoft. For the future, my goals are to work with the next executive board to have more philanthropies with other Greek houses and to help schedule more in-house programs." –Jackson Kemble '24, VP of Programming "This year, I was able to create better relations with our property manager while also creating a better schedule for house cleanings to keep the Chapter facility tidy. My goals for the future are to clean our storage area downstairs and to begin working on the SigEp Learning Community accreditation." –Jack Burke '24, VP of SigEp Learning Community "This year has been a great improvement, putting members through rituals smoothly and with regularity. The standards board and I have had very few problems to deal with. I am very proud of the way members have been conducting themselves this year." –Tyler Rockwell '24, Chaplain "As a Chapter, we are on track for best grades in IFC through both semesters of my term. Maintenance on grades was much more prevalent this semester than last. It's important that even if we are No. 1 in grades, we keep our nose to the grindstone to ensure that our grades only go up" –George Kelley '24, VP of Scholarship "In the past year, we have helped our members grow individually and collectively. Brotherhood events such as competitions, the trampoline park, river rafting, marathons, hikes, barbecues, paintball, and amusement parks have greatly helped our Chapter development." –Ben Chenevert '24, VP of Membership Development Top 3 Most Improved GPAs ($350 Award) William Wenrich '25 GPA Improvement: +1.37 Current Term GPA: 3.57 Previous Term GPA: 2.20 Term Credits: 9 Jack Hirsch '24 GPA Improvement: +1.03 Current Term GPA: 3.52 Previous Term GPA: 2.49 Term Credits: 13 Washington Alpha brothers on Bid Day 2022 Our 2022 executive board.
