Living By Our Virtues Brothers Finish a Strong Year of Connections Keeping Academics a Priority Brothers posted a GPA of 3.34 in the fall, the highest in Greek life and well-above campus' 3.24. We have maintained the highest GPA on campus for several consecutive semesters due to diligent studying and older brothers hosting multiple study sessions every week. Carlson Leadership Academy in OKC In February, our Executive Board met fellow leaders from other Chapters and shared insights on running a SigEp Chapter. We also learned about upcoming ritual changes and how to prepare for the future of the Balanced Man Program. Maintaining Strong Connections We've kept a strong community presence by serving various on-campus organizations. • Ben Cottrez '26, Grant Wheeler '26, and Judson Foor '27 have all accepted peer mentor positions in the fall, which entail co- teaching an Introduction to College class with a faculty member as well as serving as a mentor for incoming students. • Nick Ferguson '24 has served Mines as the campus events chairman for the Mines Activity Council, where he planned the annual block party and Oktoberfest. • One of the favorite socials we hosted with sororities was cake decorating with Alpha Phi. SigEp has also maintained a strong philanthropy program. • One of our major events this spring was a painting booth at Fresh Check Day (hosted by Holden Drew '25), helping students take a break from school and relax. • Colorado Delta was even the official volunteer organization for Ullrgrass, an outdoor music and beer festival to benefit the Kids Music Project by Coral Creek. Thank you to Weston Wall '25 for coordinating this event partnership! These events provided our brothers with a chance to interact with other members of FSL and build friendships beyond SigEp. Thank You to All Our Supportive Alumni Be it from the AVC, recruitment referrals, or just stopping by for visits and events. Stay tuned for more excitement this fall! Fraternally, Cooper Green '25 Chapter President
