Sigma Phi Epsilon - Auburn University

Sigma Phi Epsilon page 3 Auburn SigEp Has Seen Many New Additions in 2017 T his semester started off with new renovations that have since been finished. With these renovations, brothers now have a brand-new dining room with new tables and chairs. In the past, brothers struggled to find enough seating at old broken tables—now we have new sturdy tables and ample seating for everyone. In addition to the new dining room, we also received a new and updated Doc room with leather couches, chairs, and a few conference tables. This serves as a multipurpose room for studying, meetings, and media needs. Everyone took to the new Doc room as soon as it was done, and the brothers have been very pleased to have this new space available. Lastly, we completed renovations with the addition of our new band room. In the past, this room had inadequate lighting, chipped paint, and old utilities. With the renovations, we now have a well- lit room for bands, Chapter meetings, and events; we also have a new storage closet for chairs and supplies. All of these renovations are major improvements from what used to be. The brothers of SigEp are grateful for their new facilities and have taken to using the updated spaces daily. Along with these renovations, the house's Wi-Fi has been upgraded. In the past, brothers could barely connect to the internet, whether it was for homework and school purposes or relaxing and playing games; the connection was not sufficient. The start of this semester saw the signing of a new contract that has brought in a fiber optic cable to the house. This new fiber cable provides more reliable Wi-Fi to the entire house so that everyone can enjoy faster speeds for all of their needs. Alabama Alpha has had a great semester with a Hawk's Game date night, the annual grain party, Waikiki, and the parents golf tournaments yet to come. All in all the spring semester at Auburn SigEp has been very eventful and has shown an upward climb in brotherhood and chapter health. We look forward to closing out the semester with good grades and ready for a safe summer.
