Page 3 Sigma Phi Epsilon F lorida Alpha has a history of excellence in campus involvement, and as a senior within our Chapter, I have seen our involvement skyrocket. Here are the highlights of what Florida Alpha is doing across campus. Increasing SigEp Activity With a large cohort of brothers graduating the semester before I joined, I have watched the number of our brothers within Florida Blue Key grow from zero to seven. I am also unbelievably proud of brothers who have actively sought leadership around FBK. Ethan Halle '24 serves as the 2024 Gator Day director, where he took 100 students to the state capital to meet with the leaders of Florida. Will Munro '24 is serving as the 2023-24 Keystone Florida director, guiding students through the world of professional development. Sam Wright '26 is serving as an assistant director within Keystone Florida. Matthew van Wert '25 serves as an assistant director for FBK Public Relations. They have bright futures ahead. Within the Interfraternity Council, former Chapter President Ryan Feocco '25 serves as IFC president. This is the highest position a member of our Chapter has attained in the Interfraternity Council, and our first brother to be on IFC exec since Scott Ater '22 served as IFC executive vice president in 2021. When I joined SigEp, we had one active Cicerone; now we have 13. These brothers provide campus tours to prospective UF students, making the gentlemen of SigEp some of the first students future Gators interact with. Chosen to Lead Within Student Government, Joah Levine '26 and Cole Bennett '27 are two of only 100 elected student senators. Cole was elected in February, receiving the most votes for his seat, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the most competitive seat of this semester's election. Within the SG executive branch, I am wrapping up my second year on exec, serving as the academic affairs executive secretary. Ethan Halle '24 is serving an unprecedented second year as the school's supervisor of elections, one of the largest positions on campus. Seven brothers also serve as assistant supervisors of elections. We are proud to have had five-consecutive years of brothers on Gator Growl exec, with Blake McCoy '24 serving as the 2023 executive producer last year. This year, Graham Oldershaw '25 is the associate producer of creative design. Vincent Maio '25 is also on the FBK Speech and Debate executive board. Within the Business School, Gabe Federighi '26 serves as director of recruitment for the Heavener Leadership Challenge, while Connor Griscom '25 serves as the director of alumni relations for the Business Undergraduate Mentorship Program. Ethan Okaty '25, Devin Mohr '26, Adin Fastov '27, and Cullen Wyatt '27 are involved within the Gator Student Investment Fund, with Ethan Okaty serving as portfolio manager. As I graduate this semester, I could not be more excited for Florida Alpha's future. Our Chapter has shown a tremendous commitment toward becoming more Balanced Men and bettering the University of Florida as a whole. As the Fraternity with the most diverse involvement, Florida Alpha maintains a reputation for being passionate and selfless leaders across the Gator nation. While UF and the professional world grow more competitive, campus involvement sets our brothers apart as leaders and mentors. I cannot wait to see the future heights that our Chapter attains. Fraternally, Parker Rossignol '24 Santiago Alvarez '25, Parker Rossignol '24, Ethan Halle '24, Cole Bennett '27, Joah Levine '26, and Vincent Maio '25 attending Gator Day at the Florida State Capitol.
