ΣΑΕ: A Brotherhood for Life
Sam R. Reid '77 Reflects on His Experiences
T
he ΣΑΕ brotherhood is a bond for life.
The connections and relationships
developed during our undergraduate years
have a lasting impact throughout our lives.
The friends we make in New Hampshire
Beta become the friends we count on to
celebrate with us and to help us in times
of need. Sam R. Reid '77 still values the
friendships he made in ΣΑΕ and maintains
those relationships today.
When Sam first came to UNH, he already
knew a few men from New Hampshire
Beta. His experiences helped prepare him
for life after college and provided him with
valuable communication and leadership
skills. "My membership in ΣΑΕ helped
give me the confidence and the skills to
get involved with other organizations on a
leadership level."
For a period of time, Sam served as co-
chapter advisor for New Hampshire Beta,
along with Ben J. Asselin '72. "It was a
truly interesting and rewarding experience
to work with Ben and get to know the
young men in the chapter." Sam enjoyed
seeing them experience many of the same
meaningful moments that he had as an
undergraduate.
Over the past several years, many
universities have begun to question the
worth of fraternity membership. Sam still
sees ΣΑΕ as an important part of the
college experience and wants others
to have that opportunity in the future.
"Fraternity membership offers a broad
range of experiences that are important
for young people today and in the future."
He observed first-hand through his own
and his son's experiences how valuable
the fraternity membership is and he
encourages his fellow New Hampshire
Beta brothers to get involved. "Alumni
support and involvement is essential to
ensuring the sustainability of the chapter
and that opportunities with ΣΑΕ are
available to future generations."
Today, Sam is, as he puts it, a "recovering
attorney" and financial advisor with
Charter Oak Capital Management. He
enjoys the opportunity to help his clients
achieve their goals. Sam keeps in
touch with many of his brothers through
Facebook and e-mail, as well as in person.
"There are several brothers that, when we
see each other in town, we still say 'Phi
Alpha' and share the ΣΑΕ handshake."
He and his wife, Paula, live in Porstmouth,
Mass., and have two children, Joe and
Katherine. You can connect with Sam at
