Page 2 ADDING TO THE BROTHERHOOD Fall recruitment went very well, with our Chapter bringing in a 31-man member class, which is the second-largest on Greek Row. Our efforts paid off thanks to VP of Recruitment Cameron Anderson '26 and the recruitment cabinet of William Wenrich '25, Chase Clifton '27, Parker Fouts '27, Willy Heise '27, Treyton Mascarenes '27, Daniel Shin '27, and Luke Simpson '27. RECENT ACTIVITY Brothers upheld the tradition of the raft trip by visiting Riggins, Idaho, to white water raft on the Salmon River. It was a great bonding experience thanks to VP of Member Development Billy Scammell '26. To commemorate and honor the victims of the World Trade Center bombing, brothers ran 2,200 stairs, symbolizing the same number first responders bravely climbed on 9/11. We are actively participating in two intramural teams, football and softball, as well as a club soccer team. Our football team is 4-0, looking to win the championship for the second-consecutive semester. The softball team is 2-0, and the club soccer team is currently 1-1. ACADEMIC SUCCESS Our Chapter currently holds the highest GPA among all Fraternities on Greek row with a 3.41 across 96 members. This is thanks in large part to VP of Scholarship Mason Menser, who supports brothers in their academic efforts. Our 2024-25 academic year is off to a strong start, and we look forward to honoring our SigEp brotherhood as fall comes to a close!
