After each activity was completed, the whole group reflected on what they did and discussed lessons learned, as well as various applicable leadership and communi- cation techniques. All members involved had a great time and look forward to helping teach new members with this event in the future. This semester is already filling up with quite the schedule of events. We started the semester with our annual Martin Luther King Jr. service day and having our first rite of passage, Sigma and Phi, on January 21. During the month of April, the chap- ter will be hosting a self-defense class taught by Take Defense, which will be open to the entire campus for anyone to participate. This event is possible thanks to the funds raised through our Sexual Assault Awareness Week during Novem- ber. I believe that Missouri Gamma is in a solid position within campus and the community. Man Things is an annual event that is sched- uled, prepared, and run by the entire brother mentor group.

This show is the final exam for an upper level mining class where the class must match the fireworks with the song. Sigma Phi Epsilon has been asked to perform for this class many times now, and will continue in the future. Right: We are proud of Casey Slattery '17 (under the flag) for being commissioned into the Air Force. Thank you for serving our country.

The food varies from year to year, from chili to jambalaya or kebabs, with sides ranging from candied bacon to buf- falo chicken dip. Before, during, and after food is being eaten we have one or two brother men- tors present about a topic of their choosing. Whether they're learning about brewing from an Anheuser-Busch co-op, developing professional skills based around golf etiquette, or practicing tying bow-ties, our younger members always en- joy the night and our presenters get to develop presentation and cooking skills that they will use long after they graduate. In addition to these Chapter activities there are a couple of brothers who will be marrying dur- ing the month of April: Jacob Francka '17 will marry Ellen Castellano, and Chris Catlett '18 will marry Amanda Broughton. The Chapter is actively preparing for the Fall '18 semester when we implement the first phase of SigEp's Substance Free Facility program. Start- ing in Fall '18, there will be no alcohol allowed in the public spaces of the house. If you have any questions, please contact me at lmwc65@mst.edu. Fraternally yours, Logan Wilcox '19, Chapter President lmwc65@mst.edu VP Communications Jacob Resnik '19 jprvwf@mst.edu
