Return to Campus Campaign
Clear Objectives Set for the Men of Florida Epsilon
I
t is my privilege to announce a pledge of $60,050 from the Florida
Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity to the Return
to Campus campaign. I can speak for the entire Chapter and say we
are thrilled for the plans on the new Lafayette Street property, fostering a
residential learning community to accompany our adjustment to the new
normal at Florida State University.
The Balanced Man Program, along with substance-free housing bylaws,
which were voted in by the Chapter in early January, have been major
stepping stones for our adaptation to the new normal. We will continue to
promote the culture change of our Fraternity through recruitment of new
members who meet the standards of the Ideal Balanced Man. We have
refocused our recruitment pool around campus involvement and merit
by raising our GPA requirement to a 3.0, adopting a "356 recruiting"
strategy outside of formal recruitment, and launching a Balanced Man
Scholarship starting in the fall of 2018.
Moving forward with our vision, becoming a residential learning
community is the next step in continuing our Chapter's upward trend.
With a new Chapter House being built in the perfect location next to
campus, not only is it a huge pull factor for potential new members, but
it will facilitate a substance-free space for academics, engagement with
faculty fellows and alumni, and provide a common area to complete our
BMP challenge objectives.
Over the past couple years, the Alumni Volunteer Corporation has
been tirelessly fundraising and working to see the same vision for our
Chapter come to fruition, and we are on the cusp. With the changing
culture of Greek life at FSU, we have an opportunity to prove that we will
be different, the same principle that Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded on
more than 100 years ago. Our goal is to become the pinnacle of student
organizations at Florida State by leading the charge in implementing
very necessary changes at our university, amplifying campus and
philanthropic involvement, and continuous development of balanced
men within SigEp; thus distinguishing ourselves as leaders in a time
where Greek life is under such a microscope.
Fraternally,
Wilson "Nate" Wheeler '19
