As we celebrate the first anniversary of our
reinvented MO Gamma communications, our
team wants to share the SigEp bond with as many
of our alumni as we can. We created eTRACKS,
a biweekly email blast that features alumni and
Chapter tidbits, fun facts, etc. The classic Steve
Thies '72 sense of fun and humor comes through
on each one. Through the efforts of Rocky Andes
'79, our "Brothers Loving Life" (BLL) spotlight
series features quick insights and contact info for
alumni from all eras. I encourage you to read our
eTRACKS if you haven't already—look for "SigEp
– Missouri Gamma" in your inbox.
While we don't have a special Gamma Ray
generator (see insert) to make connections happen,
we hope we can inspire you to call a brother and
reconnect. Maybe even a get-together. Let us know
if you need any contact information.
Fraternally yours,

AVC REPORT
SigEp Navigates Highs
and Lows of 2023
Dave Denner '76
President
Missouri Gamma Alumni Corporation

Missouri Gamma and the AVC have closed
the books on 2023 and look forward to 2024.
Recruiting was stronger, and our athletes excelled in intramurals. But
our Chapter House is not at capacity, as recruitment was down last year
(with some attrition from the COVID years). Grades took a slight dip,
but the Chapter's cumulative GPA remains strong within the all-Greek
average. Recruitment and academic improvement will be major focuses
for Chapter President Tyler Warner '25 and his officers in 2024.
The AVC held its annual meeting on December 20th and approved the
financials and elected the seven directors for the year. Brian Bakala '13
graciously joined our team as a Director, replacing John Belshe '11 who
will be greatly missed. With Brian joining our team, we will continue to
have a youthful perspective on our board, which I am grateful for. Logan
Wilcox '19 has moved from a Chapter Counselor role to a Faculty
Advisor role as he pursues his PhD at MS&T. Thanks to recent graduate
Jacob Kassing '22, who has agreed to step into the important role of
Chapter Counselor.
A shoutout to Mike Schmidt '75, who continues to serve as our
Treasurer, a position he has dedicated himself to for over 10 years.
Under his leadership, our account balances have rebounded from the
lows we experienced after our 508 West 8th acquisition and COVID.
Way to go, Brother Schmidt!
Steve Thies '72, Rocky
Andes '79, and Dave
Naeger '80 continue
to expand our alumni
communications and
look for ways to connect
brothers with fellow
alumni and the Chapter. I
encourage everyone to open
eTRACKS, our "Brothers
Loving Life" series, and our
BEARTRACKS newsletter.
We are SigEps for life, and
the more we are connected,
the stronger we'll be.
Always Stronger Together
