VOICE OF THE ESA
Gregory D. Brandt, Eminent Supreme Archon (Drake ‘84)
The 163rd Anniversary Convention was held this past June in Louisville, Kentucky. At the closing banquet, I had the opportunity to share a vision for the next biennium. In simple terms, our goal is growth and growth has many meanings. It’s not just about expansion or recruitment, although that certainly is important. It’s also about building on programs and services already in motion so they can take root, and provide on-going opportunities to our members and be a valuable part of our future. Growth can also be about who we are as brothers, and how we utilize the True Gentleman as our guide to daily life, and how our words and actions reflect on Sigma Alpha Epsilon. So how do we grow? We start with what’s in front of us. We have accomplished a great deal over the past two years and the Fraternity and Supreme Council are grateful for the leadership of Brother Tom Dement as our Eminent Supreme Archon. We believe the groundwork set forth in the areas of education and communication are on a very 4
positive path forward. We are grateful to the professional staff and our many, many volunteers for their hard work and dedication. Over the next two years we remain focused on the steady implementation of our expanded educational programs and services. Many of those are already moving forward and there are more to come. We are excited about the increasing engagement of our members through therecordonline.net and the results occurring with our new brand message and identity, and we are excited about the recent release of our new website to make accessing SAE information and resources easier for everyone.
E D U C AT I O N SAE has been a leader in the area of Fraternity Leadership education since John O. Moseley famously said, “We have a schoolhouse, now we need a school.” In the 83 years since, SAE has been providing quality educational programming to our
members. The world has changed and how we communicate has also changed in both style and speed. Our upcoming programs recognize these facts, so while we celebrate our past, we are taking what we have learned, tailoring it to today’s world, and extending our reach to undergraduates and alumni alike. Because together, we can challenge ourselves to rise to new heights of achievement, seek fresh opportunities, and strive always to be True Gentlemen. In January 2019, we hosted the first Executives Academy, with 350 plus students and advisors. Officer tracks included, Eminent Archons, Recruitment Chairmen and Health and Safety Officers. In January 2020, the Executives Academy will move to Phoenix, Arizona. This will allow us the opportunity to add Eminent Deputy Archons, Eminent Treasurers, Member Educators, and more Advisors to the program. It will be held at the Sheraton Grande at Wild Horse Pass on January 3–5, 2020. In March 2019, we unveiled our new
Emerging Leaders Academies. For decades, brothers have talked about how valuable it would be if we could reach more students and alumni and do so more frequently at less cost. Delivering these programs regionally provides that opportunity. The first Academy was held March 29–30, 2019, in Evanston, Illinois with the focal point of the experience occurring in the Levere Memorial Temple and on the Northwestern University campus. We added two more of these programs in the fall of 2019, one in Washington D.C. on September 27–28, 2019 and the other in San Diego California on October 4–5, 2019. Then in the spring of 2020, we will host two more, one in Dallas, Texas and the other in Evanston. As these programs take root, we are also able to offer more opportunities for volunteerism and support in facilitating these programs. This fall, we will begin more substantive work on SAE’s New Wellness Initiative. This is a program that I am very excited about. It will focus on personal health and wellness. The program is being designed to support our brothers of any age and any generation, and will focus on physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and nutritional wellness. Our goal is to bring together our brothers of every generation to learn and support one another in our quest to be healthy True Gentlemen. These programs along with the on-going success of the Ritual Academy, hosted at the Levere Memorial Temple and scheduled again for July 24–25, 2020, will have the potential to reach thousands of our men each year as opposed to only hundreds.
M E M B E R S H I P G R OW T H The Greek community faces challenges and in a period of declining college enrollment in traditional four-year institutions, that can impact SAE, just as it does other fraternities. Many of you have heard Brother Dement say “SAE is not the best because we are the biggest, we are the biggest because we are the best.” If continuing to have the total largest membership of any college fraternity is important, a question the Supreme S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
Council cannot answer alone, it will require renewed effort on the part of every chapter and member to seek out more qualified men, more True Gentlemen. Toward that effort a Coordinator of Recruitment has recently been added to the Fraternity Service Center Staff. While he alone cannot impact our growth, he can be a valuable resource to every chapter. Whether you need help planning, coaching on recruitment skills or assistance in polishing your messages, he and other staff stand ready. In addition, you will also find new resources available to you on the website including, posters, bid cards, and more. There are approximately 7,360,000 men attending college in the United States. I realize that we are not on every campus in the United States, but this number would certainly suggest that our market of potential members is enormous. Sounds easy enough, right? I remember my mentor Past Eminent Supreme Archon Lou Smith, who would always say “Just bring in one person to replace yourself”. Given our model of “no pledging” it opens many doors to recruit men 365 days a year. This is an opportunity not many fraternities have employed but we can! Imagine if every member of every chapter identified and recruited one new member each year. In the current climate that is not always the easiest thing to do but students today are more sophisticated than I was as a
freshman, and technology has created challenges for the development of interpersonal relationships. These days we don’t talk nearly as much as we text, and therein is the opportunity. While e-communications and text provide ease of access in communication, we must build on it. I encourage you to reach out, introduce yourself to men you meet around campus or in the classroom. Talk by phone, invite men to join you for an intramural game, participate in a philanthropic event with you, or simply grab lunch or dinner. Recruitment is about building relationships and there are many ways to accomplish it that move far beyond text or a specific recruitment event. It’s really no more complicated than initiating communication and building friendships.
C H A P T E R G R OW T H We are also committed to expanding to new campuses, some where we have been before and other opportunities that may present themselves for the very first time. Our expansion team is dedicated to finding great campuses where we can colonize and build healthy, sustainable chapters. We also believe that you can each be helpful in keeping your ears to the ground. Our goal is to add twenty new groups in the next two years. We have a good start with eight already in development and with several interest groups and colonization’s in the works for this fall and spring. Yet expansion is not

VOICE OF THE ESA
without challenges, and during a time when the Greek community is under a great deal of scrutiny we must pay close attention to where our best chances are to create thriving new colonies and thus chapters. So, as your newly elected Eminent Supreme Archon, I encourage you to contact the Fraternity Service Center if you know of a campus we might want to explore.
A LU M N I S U PP O R T Experience tells us that our most successful chapters have engaged mission focused alumni support. We have recently added alumni development tracks to many of our educational programs and with the Executives Academy we have actually integrated the program to work in conjunction with chapter officers attending from their chapters. Yet, we know that in order to provide on-going service to our members, we need more engaged volunteers. We can provide the resources to help support involvement, advance volunteer knowledge and create opportunity, but we need more alumni of SAE or individuals in the communities where we have chapters who believe in what we are doing and want to help us move the ball forward. We also need to tap into the currently unused potential of our undergraduate chapters. It is time that we ask our undergraduate brothers to help mentor chapters in your area or Province. When you have a successful program, we would ask that you work with other chapters struggling in that area so that they can emulate your success. You can share ideas directly with them and take advantage of sharing it with the realm by submitting your stories of success to the communications team at the Fraternity Service Center for possible feature on therecordonline.net or in the print Record as well. It is time that we make sure that each of our chapters has engaged mission centered mentors and advisors. To accomplish this, we first need to take stock in where we are now. To that end, I am going to ask our Province Archons to take the lead, with the 6
assistance of the Fraternity Center Staff, we will undertake an audit of each of our chapter’s alumni advisor status. All too often I hear, “Well we have advisors, but we never see them, or we don’t get along with them, etc.” Each of our chapters deserves support from advisors that are engaged and assisting the chapter and the brothers of that chapter to achieve the highest potential possible. If that means that we need to recruit engaged and effective advisors, we will recruit them. If we need to repair relationships between the chapter and their advisors, we will help to develop a positive relationship between the parties. We must always remember that our sole purpose for our involvement as alumni is to foster an exceptional fraternity experience for our undergraduate brothers and help to assist them in becoming the best person they can possibly be.
organization. These men and women work long dedicated hours, and they do so with commitment to our mission like no other. They rejoice with us on our best days and they shoulder responsibilities on the toughest. It is this team who each day seek opportunities to actively promote the Fraternity and support our ability to Rise Above! As we begin the next biennium and work to move Sigma Alpha Epsilon to even greater heights I invite you to remember that while being a male is a matter of birth, and being a man is a matter of age, being a gentleman is a matter of choice. Thank each of you for making the choice to be True Gentlemen in Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Phi Alpha! ◆

Eminent Supreme Archon (Drake ‘84)
Brothers, it’s also time we grow our Brotherhood, not in size but in thinking. In an organization the size of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, we are going to have different opinions about how issues should be addressed. And we need to have those discussions. But at the end of the day, we are brothers in the bonds of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. When there is descension within our ranks of a negative tone, it diminishes the organization and it diminishes the experience of the young men throughout the realm, who depend on us for guidance and a clear path forward. There are as many exciting decisions to be made as there are difficult ones and we ask for patience and understanding regarding both. We are strongest when we stand as one. As we say on the Supreme Council when we debate an issue, we passionately support our position, but once the decision is made, we all support it. So, your leadership on the Supreme Council intends to spend our time and energy on building our brotherhood and invite you to join us. While we focus our attention on that discourse, we empower the Fraternity Staff to lead the operations of the

They are designed to provide interactive and consistent education to a wide variety of collegiate and alumni members. Participants experience a series of workshops, expos, and keynote addresses, with additional focus on personal leadership development, dressing for success, building your personal brand, and how our Fraternity values and Ritual are reflected in everything we do. We firmly believe that any brother has the potential to be a leader, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon stands ready to help our brothers take that next step.

STORIES FROM THE ROAD Evy Lipecka, Director of Development
YOUNG CHAPTER AIMS TO ENGAGE ALUMNI This past spring, I had the privilege of traveling to Charlotte, North Carolina to visit with SAE alumni. During a social event with members of the Charlotte Alumni Association, I met two undergraduate brothers from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Eminent Archon Jacob Curtis ’20 (right) and Eminent Deputy Archon Nick Narain ’21 (left) are working hard to engage alumni through a newly developed mentorship opportunity. The mentorship program will allow undergraduates to build their professional networks while also offering alumni an opportunity to give back to the chapter in ways that are meaningful to them. “As a young chapter [chartered in 2011], our alumni are young adults starting their own professional lives and are likely not yet to a point where they are able to financially support us. However, we would appreciate and welcome their support in other ways,” says Curtis. The mentorship program is the first of two goals they set out to accomplish as part of their first comprehensive institutional advancement plan. The second is raising funds in support of the chapter with the goal of offering undergraduates access to more opportunities, like attendance at national events. Curtis and Narain believe involvement by alumni is critical to future growth and success of the chapter. “Without support, we are unable to develop some programs and initiatives that we’d like to, such as more alumni events, parent events, more recruitment resources, and initiatives around the university.” Alumni who support the institutional advancement goals can feel good knowing they are contributing to the development of current chapter members and helping to 16
“WE ARE WORKING HARD TO ENGAGE ALUMNI THROUGH A NEW GIVING PROGRAM”
bridge the gap between their collegiate and professional experience. This collective effort between chapter members and alumni will help ensure the success of the chapter and its men into the future. As all members look for ways to sustain their SAE story throughout life, the example of UNC-Charlotte is a good model to replicate. Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s goal is to provide opportunities to connect alumni and undergraduates who have similar interests or career aspirations regardless of chapter, and to sustain the lasting bonds of real brotherhood. To connect with your area or chapter alumni association, or if you are interested in engaging with undergraduates, contact Ryan Gibbons, Coordinator of Alumni Engagement, at rgibbons@sae.net or 847-475-1856. ◆ If you would like to support these opportunities by giving a financial gift, visit www.sae.net/donate.

FRATERNITY
LEAVING THE HOUSE TO COME HOME By Austin Shifflett, Contributing Writer
When first walking through the door of an open recruitment event, one could be forgiven for thinking that all of the enticing phrases being tossed around, such as, “Membership is for life” or “Best decision I ever made”, are simply marketing tactics or, at best, unrealistic ideals. As a low-income, first-generation freshman at Harvard, I arrived at Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s threshold with little more than an unhealthy amount of skepticism and a knowledge of fraternities that was limited to what I had witnessed in Animal House and Blue Mountain State. At the time, I had almost no real interest in joining and had actually only agreed to come out per the request of an eager roommate. To my surprise, from the moment I walked in to long after I had headed home, my skepticism was met with nothing but honesty, optimism, and the strange feeling of being in the presence of a comradery that I had yet to fully understand for what it was: true brotherhood. Thankfully, by the second or third recruitment event, my roommates and I were all convinced that SAE. was the singular place on campus where we could truly feel the coveted sense of belonging that so many undergraduates crave, and our desire to be admitted was nervously heightened until the night we received our bids. From that point forward, the stories and memories are far too long or complex to fit onto a page and that core feeling of belonging has not only 18
persisted but intensified. Shortly after my joining the fraternity, Harvard issued a more concrete outline of its sanctions policy, stating how they intended to limit members of “unrecognized single gender social organizations” (USGSOs) from holding leadership positions in clubs and sports teams, as well as denying them entrance to prestigious scholarships and awards. The university has argued that the policies should have no adverse effect on the upperclassmen body, as the policy did not take effect until the class ’21, and that incoming freshmen are provided the choice of simply not attending Harvard if they would rather go to a Greek school. As someone who has held leadership positions in both clubs, house life, and the student workplace, it is disheartening to think that I myself was close to being faced with this policy of intimidation, as the administration attempts to mandate how students spend their time outside of school by leveraging the availability of on-campus opportunities. It instills feelings of anger and frustration, though it mostly summons sympathy for those that are more directly affected. Not only is this sanctions policy misguided in its principled stand against organizations such as our beloved fraternity, but it ultimately creates a feeling of powerlessness as student opinion was not taken into consideration during its formation and voices of opposition have since been ignored.
For much of my time, it felt that our chapter’s future was hanging in the balance with little support besides what we as students could muster alongside our loyal alumni base. That was before the announcement. Before the realization that SAE National and the North American Interfraternity Conference had been working tirelessly to begin the legal battle that would transform into the current Freedom of Association lawsuit. Overnight, our small Mass Gamma chapter had gone from feeling isolated and discarded to having the full support of hundreds upon hundreds of fraternity and sorority chapters across the country. Facebook posts were being made, phone calls were coming in, and questions were being asked, but more importantly, our chapter was given a renewed sense of purpose. Though Harvard’s policy could be viewed as an example of our misfortune, it is impossible to feel outmatched when brothers and sisters across the realm have rallied together in support of a collective cause. Since becoming more involved, both with the negative effects of the sanctions and the positive energy of the lawsuit efforts, I have had the privilege of witnessing just how deeply rooted our brotherhood truly is. I have also had the amazing opportunity of working on staff for the summer as a communication’s intern, allowing me to gain a more intimate understanding of how the Fraternity Service Center functions on a
daily basis and all of the efforts they devote towards bettering our order. Providing a sense of cohesion to an organization with as many members as Sigma Alpha Epsilon is no small task, but the fraternity headquarters is dedicated to ensuring that our mission statement as a brotherhood rings true in all aspects of our individual activities. More than anything, it has been a uniquely amazing experience to walk into an unfamiliar workplace on the first day and be welcomed by the grip: a symbolic common ground and mutual understanding that all members can share equally knowing that they have chosen to be a part of this fraternity. It is similar to the feeling I experienced when I read of how our parent organization would be supporting us through our trials at Harvard, and like then, my concerns and hesitations were quickly dissolved only to be replaced with comfort and belonging. Whether it be at Convention, a chapter house, the Levere Memorial Temple, or anywhere else in the world, I have learned that there is a distinct feeling of “home” that can only be created through a familial connection such as brotherhood. It is that feeling that must be protected, despite those who wish us ill, and I believe our fraternity’s spirit of advancement will ensure our perseverance, continuing to imbue that feeling of comfort in future new brothers who may be just as unsuspecting as I was those three years ago. ◆
STAND UP TO HARVARD, FIRST AND FOREMOST, IS A PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGN DEVELOPED BY THE NIC. Its objective is to persuade grassroots support across fraternity and sorority members, both undergraduate and alumni, for the legal actions taken in federal and Massachusetts state court challenging the Harvard sanctions. The policy punishes students who join off-campus, single-gender social organizations by limiting their on-campus opportunities. Secondly, the effort is to persuade the general public that Harvard was wrong, we have value, and students have rights. The campaign has currently engaged nearly 100 headquarters of national fraternities and sororities to persuade grassroots efforts by their memberships. Since its filing on December 3rd, the lawsuit has continued to pervade the news and social media, with coverage by popular outlets such as the Boston Globe, NPR, Associated Press, and many more. On August 15, the Federal district judge assigned to the case denied Harvard’s motion to dismiss–rejecting it almost entirely. The federal judge’s verdict reaffirms the validity of our Title IX claims. The following statement was released to the media on behalf of the Stand Up to Harvard Coalition Friday evening: “Today’s decision rightly recognizes that the lawsuit states four viable legal claims that Harvard’s Sanctions Policy discriminates on the basis of sex,” said R. Stanton Jones of Arnold & Porter, a lawyer for the plaintiffs in the federal case. “The court acknowledged what is undeniably true: Harvard’s Policy is discriminatory twiceover. As the court said, the Policy ‘discriminates both on the basis of the sex of the students in the social organization and the sex of the student who associates with that organization.’ The time has come for Harvard to end this discriminatory policy and do the right thing. Harvard should stop discriminating against its students and trust them to make their own choices about who to associate with.”

FROM THE OPENING CEREMONIES TO THE CLOSING BANQUET, SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON’S 163RD ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION WAS OVERFLOWING WITH THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSION, MEANINGFUL REFLECTION, DUE APPRECIATION, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, SINCERE BROTHERHOOD. 21
163RD CONVENTION RECAP
C
olloquially referred to as the fraternity’s largest chapter meeting, the Convention is a time for undergraduate and alumni members alike to come together and work as one towards the advancement of the entire realm. This year’s biennial meeting in the beautiful Bluegrass State of Kentucky was no exception, with Louisville playing host to both business and pleasure, offering an array of opportunities for brothers, guests, and partners to relax and enjoy one another’s company in between plenary sessions, board meetings, and informational town hall discussions. With more than 400 attendees, the five plenary sessions took precedence throughout the weekend, reminding all those present that Convention is, first and foremost, a time for shaping the future of the fraternity. During these sessions, credentialed delegates voted, guests watched as the new Supreme Council was elected, and a contingent of law proposals were debated. A short summary of the passed proposals is as follows, listed by the number that they were originally proposed with: 1. Requires Provinces to prepare IRS 990s, just like Chapters, Alumni Associations and House Corporations 2. Grants the ESR authority to set dates for Activity Reports that make sense for the given year and to be announced annually no later than August 1st 4. Chapter Dues are now due on the fifteenth of February (as opposed to the first) 6. Eliminates the requirement that Advisers be members of the fraternity, though an Adviser that is a member of the fraternity must be a member in good standing 7. Clarifies the membership parameters of Chapter Alumnus, Chapter Quiescent, and Chapter Eternal 8. Creates an intermediate appeal with the membership review committee for all those that wish to petition for reconsideration of their review rather than appealing directly to directly to the Supreme Council first 14. Reschedules the Province Archons’ meeting with the Supreme Council to be held in conjunction with each regular session of the Fraternity Convention 17. Removes redundancy of the 96-hour rule verbiage within the mandate of Chapter ritual for all collegiate members The plenary sessions were supplemented by several key note speakers, such as John D. Minton Jr. (Western Kentucky ’74), the Chief Justice of Kentucky, Judas Horras, the CEO of the North American Interfraternity Conference, and Steve Farber, the Huffington Post’s 2017 “#1 Business Speaker to See”, as well as two rounds of group discussions on an array of topics. All convention members were invited to listen and contribute to talks on key issues like Health and Safety, Recruitment standards, Alumni engagement, and the operations of the Fraternity, allowing for both education and 22

collaboration across generations of brothers. These were especially helpful to undergraduate members who would then take the strategies they learned at the convention home, sharing and exploring them with their own chapters. Equally important were the award ceremonies that took place over the course of the weekend, recognizing brothers and chapters that had exceeded the call of duty and risen above in their fraternal endeavors. Some of the ceremonies were reserved for alumni acknowledgment, such as the Merit-Key and Distinguished Service Awards, while others recognized outstanding undergraduates. Many awards were announced (see page 28), such as Chapter Achievement, but the main highlights were the True Gentleman of the Year and the John O. Moseley Award for Fraternity Zeal which were granted to Zachary Watson (Texas State-San Marcos) and the University of Evansville (Indiana Epsilon), respectively. In his announcing of the Zeal award, Tom Dement (Middle Tennessee ’90), the outgoing Eminent Supreme Archon, made no exaggeration as he explained
that The Zeal Award was meant to signify “the best of the best…the true leaders of Sigma Alpha Epsilon”. Though he was applying his words to a specific and most prestigious award, Dement’s sentiment also rings true for all those that received awards over the course of the weekend, ranging in various levels of distinction, as they all represented greater recognition amongst an entire brotherhood of high achievers. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is proud that its members continue to be in the forefront of innovation and the advancement of fraternity ideals, and Convention served as an opportunity for gathering the entire realm to appreciate all the individuals that have contributed the most to that pioneering spirit. Attendees were also afforded the chance to take off their ties and connect with old and new friends from across the nation. Thanks to Louisville’s generous Host Committee, SAE was treated to events such as A Night at the Races, an amazing opportunity to socialize in several private booths at Churchill Downs, as well as a reserved venue amidst Fourth Street Live’s array of festivities. The fraternity was truly taken care of in terms of hospitality and Kentucky solidified its place as a historical Convention spot. Lastly, though the Convention was packed into just one weekend, it also marked the end of an era with Tom Dement’s tenure as Eminent Supreme Archon coming to a close as his successor, Gregory Brandt (Drake ’84), began his shortly after. Much like the last two years, all of the convention was grounded firmly by Dement’s leadership and lifelong dedication to the brotherhood, with his influence during the plenary sessions being one of wisdom and guidance. His ending remarks at the closing banquet signified many, many years of service and love for the fraternity, making his conviction that, “We are not the best because we are the largest…we are the largest because we are the best,” seem all the more true. ◆

This tenured history makes it all the more impressive for an individual or a single chapter to receive any honor that distinguishes them from the greater fraternal body.

T
hough the majority of the undergraduates present at the 163rd Anniversary Convention were delegates, Brother Watson came to Louisville, Kentucky, to fill a much different role. He was prepared to work. As one of eleven student ambassadors in attendance, he was charged with assisting and directing various Convention operations, ensuring that all components of the weekend went as smoothly as possible. He was not, however, prepared to be named the True Gentleman of the Year. Since its adoption as our creed, the True Gentleman has developed and transformed into something much larger than the words it contains. The ideals that it presents transcend any one definition or interpretation, offering a unique meaning to all those who internalize its message. These interpretations then work beautifully in conjunction with the shared understanding of core values that the creed instills in every brother, creating the foundation that grounds our fraternity in the highest standard of conduct. Then, to be recognized as the True Gentleman of the Year is to exemplify that standard of conduct to the highest degree, which is

exactly what Zachary Watson has done. In reflecting on his achievement, the magnitude of its prestige was not lost, with him humbly remarking, “Winning this award is the biggest honor I have ever been given… All the work I have put in during my past four years with Sigma Alpha Epsilon came to its pinnacle that evening…” The work that he is referring to is an extensive and admirable array of responsibilities, ranging from efforts at his local chapter and province, all the way to the national level. At Texas Sigma, he has served as Philanthropy Chairman, Recruitment Chairman, and Eminent Archon. With his time in these positions, he dutifully persevered through extenuating circumstances and unforeseen obstacles, in addition to the regular challenges and responsibilities that already accompany such leadership roles. Even in the face of a poor membership review, Watson proved himself a steadfast anchor for his brothers. Instead of giving up, he has been an integral player in boosting morale. With an intense desire to serve to the best of his ability, Watson then ran and was successfully elected to the position of Chronicler for Province Sigma. Since his appointment, he has initiated over 100 brothers, as well as helped to establish a colony. Aside from his services and accolades, Watson provides all brothers with a well-grounded and personable example of how the True Gentleman can be embodied and applied. He echoed the

sentiment that our creed is more than a recitation of words, expressing that the meaning behind it goes much deeper. As True Gentleman of the Year, his interpretation is a valuable one, and all brothers can benefit from hearing his definition: “Being a True Gentleman means speaking up for what you believe in, standing strong in the face of adversity and challenges, having the fortitude to stand up for what is right, doing your best to support the Mission of the Fraternity in your daily life, and striving for excellence in everything you do, but not to be recognized by the people around you; more so, to strive for excellence for yourself. The True Gentleman is almost like a roadmap for how one should live his life and how a brother interprets that road map is what makes all the difference.” In his definition alone, it is clear that Zach has fully embraced the creed and what it can stand for in a brother’s experience with the fraternity, his encouragement to other members continues even further past his interpretation. Watson also offers optimism and sound advice to all undergraduate brothers who may currently be navigating positions of leadership. Emphasizing the importance of making others feel heard, taking the time to enjoy even the smallest acts of brotherhood, and being able to ask for help when necessary, are, in his mind, keys to success. Most importantly, Zach acknowledged that, as much as he has given in service, the fraternity has also given back to him in life lessons. Among other things, SAE has taught him how to cooperate with others, to celebrate diversity, and even the basics of fiscal responsibility within business management. These are lessons that will carry with him long after graduation, and he will be able to look back, knowing that he made life-long friends during the process. It is a tall order, becoming the True Gentleman of the Year, but it is a model of excellence that all brothers should strive for, year-round. Zach Watson and his dedication to Sigma Alpha Epsilon is a shining example of what can be achieved when one chooses to rise above. ◆

It is important that each of these chapters receive due recognition for exceeding the normal expectations of a Collegiate Chapter and creating their own lasting impact on the greater fraternal body. For their efforts, they were each considered for the honor of winning, though, in the end, only one of them could be chosen. Tom Dement, the Eminent Supreme Archon of the 163rd Anniversary Convention, took great care in his remarks to emphasize the importance of this award and its place within the fraternity before announcing the long-awaited winner. ESA Dement referred to the winner of this award as the “best of the best,” and this is true. After giving each nominee chapter its justly deserved respect, he announced the winning chapter—The University of Evansville, Indiana Epsilon. With the announcement, the Convention hall erupted with the sounds of joy, appreciation, and reverence, as all those present joined in congratulating a chapter that had set itself apart by doing outstanding work and dedicating themselves to a higher standard. In their humble acceptance of the prestigious award, it was clear that the University of Evansville is comprised of loyal brothers who understand their connection to those that came before them, as well as having a deep appreciation and forethought for those who will come after. Marcus Gahagen and Austin Hopf, Indiana Epsilon’s Eminent Archon and Alumni Relations Chair, respectively, were present to accept the award on behalf of their chapter and there was no mistaking that they truly felt that it was a chapter-wide achievement, larger than any one individual. When asked about how it felt to win S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
after such a long period of hard work, Marcus’s first response was that it felt great to win for their alumni, noting that their chapter “stands on the backs of giants” and they “hold the undergrads to a higher standard.” For an organization built upon tenets such as membership extending past graduation, it is inspirational for a Collegiate Chapter to have such a firm understanding of their past. Despite the immense amount of work that Indiana Epsilon has already put forth, Marcus and Austin seemed to have no intention of losing the momentum that their success had created. When reflecting on future plans, they both agreed that it was their duty to continue doing everything in their power to form more True Gentlemen and to share their work with other chapters by being openly communicative about their efforts. As a word of advice to other chapters, Gahagen attributed one specific key to their success: “It’s about knowing your strengths, knowing your weaknesses, and then putting in the effort to strengthen those strengths while minimizing the weaknesses.” Though winning is far from a small task, the modest pair made their efforts appear straightforward and principled so that other chapters can more easily take their cue. “If you have people who put the chapter before themselves, then you will succeed,” they remarked, leaving all undergraduates with a chance to reevaluate their own efforts and begin working towards the betterment of their brotherhood as opposed to the wants of the individual. Wise insight from a chapter that has just earned an elite place in the history of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. ◆

FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO (IDAHO ALPHA) CHAPTER, THERE IS VERY LITTLE THAT COULD BE MORE EXCITING THAN CELEBRATING A CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY. A SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT IN ITSELF, SUCH AN EVENT MARKS 100 YEARS OF HARD WORK, LOVING BONDS, AND SINCERE BROTHERHOOD. By Austin Shifflett, Contributing Writer

CHAPTER SPOTLIGHT: BROTHERS THROUGH ALL
FROM THE BEGINNING
E
ven before its founders were Sigma Alpha Epsilon members, the “brotherhood of friends,” created in 2016 and formally known as Zeta Chi Alpha, was firmly committed to its fraternal order. Three years later, they applied for a charter and began the process of entering SAE as its newest chapter. Since those original 19 founders, Idaho Alpha has grown tremendously, both in size and spirit, having initiated 1,933 additional brothers. Their current house, located at 920 Deakin Street, has become an equally significant testament to their long-standing involvement in fraternity life, serving as a focal point of their chapter for 87 years. Throughout their tenured history, the University, the state of Idaho, and the country as a whole have changed immensely. Over the course of a century, few things remain the same, but the love shared between SAEs has proven to endure such tests of time. Unfortunately, the same cannot always be said for collegiate brothers and their adherence to Fraternal Law. In 2012, the current undergraduates of Idaho Alpha contacted their alumni advisors, making them aware that the brotherhood needed help. Shortly after, a membership review was conducted, resulting in the group being placed on Alumni Commission. To begin correcting the issues that had surfaced, the chapter’s charter was transferred from the collegiate body and entrusted to the alumni, allowing them to determine when the chapter could earn it back. With the guidance of the Fraternity Service Center Staff and assistance from faculty of the University, they helped the undergraduates embark on a path to success. There were many ways in which the Alumni Commission sought to assist their younger brothers, but perhaps one of the most significant examples was the establishment of the Mentoring Board of Alumni (M.B.A.). The board was created as a means for younger alumni to meet regularly with current officers and older members of the chapter. Brother Scott Thomas (’94), a prominent member of the MBA, was heavily involved in both the Alumni Commission and the planning the Centennial. He, alongside other key players, such as Brother Jonathan Edwards (‘85), are large parts of Idaho Alpha’s history, which lends to their heightened investment in the chapter’s success. They both have also served as former members of the Fraternity Service Center’s Staff. This, combined with their genuine desire to see their younger brothers succeed, allows them to play pivotal roles in shaping Idaho Alpha’s future. Though it took four years and a great deal of communication, dedication, and innovation, the Alumni Commission felt that in 2016,
42
the problems were effectively remedied; the chapter’s charter was returned to the undergraduate members, and all those involved were satisfied that the college would once again host a group of proud SAEs on its campus. The alumni continued to be involved in the chapter operations and, at the time, it appeared that the issues that had resulted in the Alumni Commission were little but a momentary setback.
A PL A N I N M O T I O N In anticipation of the chapter’s fast-approaching 100th Anniversary, the alumni had to shift some of their focus from the undergraduate chapter to the planning and execution of their reunion. Having conquered their previous obstacles, the brotherhood had demonstrated its resilience and resolve to continue the chapter’s legacy. For brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the concept of “membership for life” is more than a tagline–it is an invitation to be as active and involved as possible, both during and after college. Activity for a member can come in many forms, but for an alumnus, it can be as simple as picking up the phone, making a call to chapter brother, and catching up on years past. For Idaho Alpha, membership for life manifests itself in a near-indescribable love for one another that only increases with time. Through their determination to take brotherhood a step further, they have created a unique atmosphere of achievement and long-lasting friendship. In their eyes, a Centennial celebration needed to reflect the rich history of their brotherhood–a feat that would require extensive planning. A large gathering of any sort takes a great deal of work to organize, but a 100th Anniversary has even more pressure to succeed. With a naturally heightened sense of emotional investment, such an important anniversary is something that members only have one chance to do justice by, which is why Idaho Alpha dedicated themselves to making it as memorable as possible. Brother Dan Alsaker (’72), one of the key players in the creation of the event and the chairman of the Alumni Commission, elaborated on the level of care that went into its inception and execution. He remarked that “We happened to host the 89th anniversary because we felt that it was important in preparation for the 100th. It drew a tremendous crowd, and we learned how to improve the invitation process as well as the programming. It was a sort of trial run.” Alsaker also commented on the size of the planning committee, humbly acknowledging that many other people were instrumental to the event’s high turnout.
In preparation for the weekend, the planning committee took measured steps such as blocking out hotel rooms a full two years in advance, as well as offering select scholarships to ensure that all those who wished to attend could do so. Every detail was well thought out and tailored to the aim of achieving maximum attendance and enjoyment. For a University with a campus of less than 10,000 students, it is a remarkable achievement for any single reunion to attract over 200 attendees. This is especially true in an area like Moscow, Idaho, where air travel is not particularly convenient, and the closest major city is 100 miles away. To overcome this challenge, the planning committee members, such as Alsaker, decided to reach out over the phone and personally invite every brother to the reunion, as well as reaching out to the women that had impacted their chapter, such as their Little Sisters of Minerva and members of their local program, the Violet Queens.
S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
“We determined that the best method was to make teams of two or three for each decade. We got addresses and phone numbers, divided those lists up into equal increments, and then went about contacting everyone”, he said. This strategy would ultimately pay immense dividends, attracting brothers from as far away as Oslo, Norway. Brother Dave Poe (’70), another central planner, took part in the calling campaign and spoke to the incredible opportunity that was offered to both those making the calls, and those receiving them. “It was an opportunity to reach out to a bunch of people and convince them to come,” he said, “and I got to have some really nice conversations with people I haven’t spoken to in fifty years. Every one of us that took on that role felt the same way.” Through their efforts, both Alsaker and Poe highlighted the real driving force behind a prestigious event such as a Centennial: the brothers. As lovely as it is to have elegant dinners or a beautiful convention hall, it is more important to bring the fraternity together in a
43
CHAPTER SPOTLIGHT: BROTHERS THROUGH ALL
meaningful way. Doing so requires original programming, earnest attendance, and a genuine focus on the people involved. With all of the powerful work that the committee members, engaged alumni, University representatives, and other interested parties had completed, it seemed like there was nothing that could stop the progress of Idaho Alpha’s efforts.
A DV E R S I T Y A B O U N D In the time since the undergraduate chapter had persevered through its years on Alumni Commission, the alumni body had been supportive and heavily invested in the group’s success. They had persisted through dark times and emerged with a renewed sense of purpose and an eager class of collegiate brothers. Their victory, though hard-fought, was ultimately short-lived. In 2018, to the alumni’s dismay, the members were once again under investigation for conduct that constituted as severe health and safety violations. Upon further review, they were indeed found guilty, their charter was suspended, and the chapter was closed. As upsetting as it was to hear, the alumni and members of the Fraternity Service Center Staff knew that such actions could not be overlooked. SAE’s commitment to the wellness of its members necessitates a policy of zero tolerance in regard to unsafe behavior of any kind. The chapter’s Alumni Advisory Board was particularly disappointed because Idaho Alpha’s undergraduate members had, for so many years, always aspired to be the best, both on their campus and amongst other SAEs. In 1970, the chapter was awarded the John O. Mosely Award for Fraternity Zeal, one of the highest honors that collegiate members can receive. Their proud history was proof enough that the chapter had great potential, making the actions of the undergraduates that led to the suspension all the more disappointing for them, just moments before their 100th Anniversary. Yet, with the will to move forward, they worked with the Fraternity Service Staff on a return agreement, assuring that their chapter could one day return to campus. Partnered again with the University and the Fraternity Service Center Staff, the alumni understood that such a process could not be rushed. In order to avoid ever experiencing another closure, an appropriate amount of time would need to pass before considering recolonization. Currently, in the event that no other issues occur that would bar their return, the chapter is set to recolonize in 2022. This unexpected change in circumstance also brought the approaching Centennial into question. After all, without an active collegiate chapter, what is there to celebrate? With a heavy heart, the planning committee considered canceling the event, reasoning that there was little reason to continue if they no longer had a chapter to come home to. For a group that had worked so hard and dedicated so many hours to preserving the living history of their chapter, it was crushing to think that the current undergraduates did not share their passion to succeed. 44
Dan Alsaker turned to the Eminent Supreme Recorder, Brother Mike Sophir (Nebraska ’85), alerting him to the decision they were facing. Upon hearing this, he immediately urged Alsaker to reconsider. “Sure, you don’t have undergraduates,” Sophir acknowledged, “but the reunion isn’t solely about them; it’s about every generation.” Though it’s unfortunate for any chapter to close, Sophir’s advice was not to lose focus of what had actually created 100 years of brotherhood. The Centennial was not being created exclusively by or for the students currently on the University of Idaho’s campus. In reality, it would be a shame to let a century of brotherhood be overshadowed by one group of misguided students, as the alumni of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are just as much members of the Fraternity as the collegiate members. Instead of a cancellation, the planning committee was given a renewed sense of purpose behind their celebration, and in moving forward, involved Alumni such as Dan Alsaker came to realize that the reunion of Idaho Alpha could breathe new life into the bonds of fraternity that had tied them to one another for so many years.
A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER The power and the love felt during the reunion weekend is impossible to adequately capture in mere words or photos. The Centennial was a two-day event consisting of an array of planned activities such as a golf tournament, social hours, a chapter house tour, an honorary initiation, a full chapter meeting with all brothers that were in attendance, and a closing banquet. All that were present learned that time alone can reveal the unbreakable nature of Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s Fraternity. Brother Jim Mottern (’70), a reunion coordinator and permanent Historian of Idaho Alpha, analogized the process to that of a beautiful, handmade work of art. “Your relationship with the Fraternity is like a tapestry,” he said, “and different threads become exposed at different points in life…but there are always a number of things that come together and build upon one another.” According to Mottern and other coordinators, the real heart of the Centennial’s celebration began with the honorary initiation of Brother Charley Thornbrugh, a student who pledged in 1962. At the end of the semester, Thornbrugh realized he was needed back at home on the farm, requiring him to sacrifice his education to help his family. Unfortunately, leaving school meant more than leaving Idaho Alpha because it also meant losing his deferment agreement. During Thornbrugh’s pledgeship, the United States was undergoing a mandatory draft for the Vietnam War. Being in college could grant students deferment, allowing them to finish college first, before being considered for the military. Without being a student, Thornbrugh had no such protection and was drafted into four years of service. Upon completing his tour of duty, he returned to the University of Idaho and planned to finish his education, only to find that all of his friends had graduated. As a result, Thornbrugh
transferred to Boise State, where he would ultimately not pledge SAE again, seemingly losing his chance to be officially initiated into the brotherhood that he held so dear. Tom Carney (Idaho ’64), a fellow pledge brother, decided it was high time that SAE fully welcomed Charley into the organization. He nominated Thornbrugh for a special initiation that would then take place at the Centennial. In reviewing his request, the Supreme Council agreed, giving Idaho Alpha the necessary approval to go through with the ceremony. Charley would finally get to complete the initiation that he had been waiting on for fifty-seven years. With over 90 brothers and select members of the Supreme Council, such as the Eminent Deputy Archon, Greg Brandt (Drake ’84), in attendance, alumnus Gary Garnard (‘70) led a full initiation ceremony. That day, Charley Thornbrugh, badge number 336930, became an official brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, both in spirit and in name. Afterward, he was sure to offer a few words of appreciation to the room, saying:
S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
“I am so honored to have been initiated into the brotherhood of Sigma Alpha Epsilon on the special 100th anniversary of our fraternity. Since departing the University of Idaho in 1964, my biggest regret was that I left without being initiated. Throughout the many years that went by, I continued to hope there would come a day when I would be initiated and join all the True Gentleman of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.” Idaho Alpha seized the opportunity to properly honor Thornbrugh’s ongoing dedication to the brotherhood while also reminding the rest of their chapter of the values and principles that our ritual imbues upon all members. Ritual, a pillar of our fraternity, is, unfortunately, a tradition that is more likely to be forgotten as members age or grow farther away from their undergraduate experience. Being given a chance to reconvene a large portion of the chapter to hear the Ritual recited from memory is a once in a lifetime gift. 45
CHAPTER SPOTLIGHT: BROTHERS THROUGH ALL
After having experienced it themselves, many of Idaho Alpha’s brothers recommended that anyone hearing about this special initiation should take the time to go back, read the ritual and, if possible, attend an initiation. The initiation was, in and of itself, an impactful experience, but it also set the tone for the rest of the Centennial by reinforcing what it means to be a Brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Mottern, a member who has not lived in Idaho since having graduated 49 years prior, felt that the 100th Anniversary was a shining example of life-long brotherhood. In his eyes, those in attendance may have aged, but those years were a number alone. He explained, “Your soul doesn’t age. I’m 71, and when I went back into that house, I could have been 19 or 21 years old again.” The house in reference is none other than 920 Deakin, the long-standing chapter house of Idaho Alpha. Mottern elaborated that his connection to the property is incredibly strong, mostly due to the memories made within its walls. His sentiment was a strong one that was shared across multiple generations of brothers. Brother Ethan Waite, class of 2014, asserted, “I happily consider joining SAE as the smartest decision I have ever made, partly because my closest friends are those that I lived within the house from 2010 to 2013,” while Dan Alsaker reinforced Mottern’s notion that. At least for an hour, he felt that “everybody was 19 years old… they were back in college and back in their fraternity house. It was magical.” A similar feeling was also shared by non-members, all of whom
were still very much a part of the fraternity experience. Frances Ellsworth (’71), fondly remarked, “it doesn’t matter how long it’s been… it could be a decade, but when we get back together, we pick back up right where we left off.” Ellsworth was a part of the chapter’s Little Sisters of Minerva Program, as well as an elected Violet Queen. She was both involved in the planning, as well as in attendance at the reunion. During a reception that took place shortly after the honorary initiation, all of the women that had been invited that weekend had a chance to introduce themselves and give a short speech on their own experiences with the brothers of Idaho Alpha. The chapter proudly honored them as dear friends and integral pieces of their college experience. Ellsworth happily explained how she felt the True Gentlemen she had met from the chapter were some of her closest friends. “Every time I see them, it is with a smile on my face and in my heart.” Many of the friends gathered at the reunion were in agreement that Idaho Alpha was an immense component of their time in college. They remarked on the work ethic and general sense of accomplishment that the chapter had surrounded itself with. Jim Mottern attributed Idaho Alpha’s unparalleled success to their undying spirit of advancement. “We wanted to be number one, and that’s what we set our minds to,” he laughed, commenting on their activities as students. That same desire is most likely what saw them to their victory in 1970, as they took home the award for Fraternity Zeal. Thankfully, that spirit has stayed with them and aided

their efforts to maintain a brotherhood that is just as active years after graduation. The reunion continued throughout the rest of the weekend with a strong sense of brotherhood that filled the air with laughter and harmony. The closing ceremonies saw all members of the Centennial gathered in the Pitman Center ballroom of the Student Union Building for a night of guest speakers and song. As the event came to an end, “Friends” could be heard emanating from the ballroom as members sang and rejoiced, having relived some of the happiest moments of their lives.
LESSONS LEARNED By putting on this memorable 100th Anniversary, the chapter has entered a new age of prosperity and brotherhood. With a 2022 return year set, they hope to be soon welcoming in new brothers that will continue their loving legacy. When facing obstacles, the chapter has focused on making the most of any given situation, allowing them to persevere through all challenges. Their work in conjunction with the Fraternity Service Center Staff on establishing the process to recolonize the undergraduate chapter will also ensure that their brotherhood does not end with a chapter closure. The alumni network, as a whole, has learned a great deal about the composition of their brotherhood. A chapter is never comprised of solely students–it is made up of an entire history, a body of graduated members, and decades of traditions dedicated to creating True Gentlemen across the world. Though the Centennial marked an increase in alumni involvement for a significant anniversary, Idaho Alpha has stressed the importance of alumni influence being ongoing. In some cases, the seasoned perspective of graduated brothers can be the difference in whether or not a chapter continues to operate effectively. “Fraternity is what you make of it,” Mottern argued, “and those that are really involved are the people that reap the intangible S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
benefits of friendship, fraternity… the values and excitement.” His philosophy extends both to alumni and collegiate members, as any brother can both give and receive benefits from being actively involved. Dan Alsaker offered his own closing words, emphasizing what it means to have your life altered, for the better, by Sigma Alpha Epsilon: “We just don’t know who or what has touched us when it is so long ago, or really, what will end up guiding our lives. SAE is something that happens right in the middle of everything… it was the oath we took, the times we had. It was just cool. We don’t know who reaches us, or whose lives we’ve changed. We had a very special group of people that changed a lot of lives in positive ways, and we all came up pretty darn good people. True Gentlemen.” Together, both brother’s testimonies reinforce the fact that being a member of our brotherhood is a formative experience, regardless of where one may currently be in their path through life. It is difficult to envision what that experience may look like, years down the road, but it is always possible to learn about it from others. The underlying value of belonging to an organization with such a dedicated lineage is that these sorts of lessons and experiences do not have to be intangible concepts. They can be taught and given by the mentors and older brothers we have bonded with for life. When faced with adversity, success can seem out of reach. Despite this, Idaho Alpha carried on, creating an opportunity to teach generations of SAEs what it looks like to stay true to one’s brothers through hard times and daunting obstacles. They have expertly illustrated the ways that brotherhood continues to develop and change over the course of a lifetime, presenting new, fulfilling benefits to all of its members. Phi Alpha. ◆

FROM THE MOMENT YOU ARE INITIATED, YOU ARE A MEMBER OF SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. You are one of over 206,000 alumni living all over the world; brotherhood unites you together even though you are thousands of miles apart. After leaving the familiarity of college dorms and chapter houses, it can be hard to feel connected to your brothers as time goes on. But here’s the good news: you have a connection to more than just the dozens of brothers you met as an undergraduate. This is one Fraternity, and we are all in this together. Nothing makes this clearer than the brothers who generously support Sigma Alpha Epsilon through donations to the SAE Foundation. Giving financially to support the national education and leadership initiatives that are being implemented by Fraternity staff is the very crux of what keeps this Fraternity on its feet. One of the most vital assets of our organization is the hundreds of alumni who continue to donate even when their undergraduate chapter is inactive. These men recognize that their allegiance is to something much bigger than themselves and the small group of men with which they experienced their college years.
S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
“After graduation, I knew I wanted to continue to support SAE in any manner that I could,” says Brother Taylor Richardson (University of Memphis, 1962). In the spring of 2019, Richardson began reaching out to other alumni from his undergraduate chapter of Tennessee Sigma, asking them to support the Fraternity financially by donating to the SAE Foundation. Staying involved is essential, and Richardson notes that “more important than the money is having [alumni] active in working with the new [members] to establish the kind of mentoring relationships” that he had when he was first initiated. Although the undergraduate chapter of Tennessee Sigma is currently inactive, the alumni remain involved nationally and help encourage each other to look to the future. After all, this is a “fraternity for a lifetime,” Richardson says. When asked why it is important for alumni to remain involved even if their undergraduate chapter is inactive, Brother Jack Counts (Oklahoma, 1968) had a lot to say. “It is terrible to lose your chapter. Sometimes you don’t know how much you will miss something until it

is gone… it is truly painful,” Counts reflects. “When that happens you must dig deep, right the ship, and move forward.” Counts has remained active in fundraising for SAE over the past few years, helping the Fraternity to move forward in its educational efforts. SAE and its national programs “clearly need ongoing alumni support,” says Counts, and “as members for life, we should all help.” This is why Counts dedicated many hours this past winter to the Oklahoma Kappa team in our first ever March to the Madness Founders’ Day fundraiser. The 2019 March to the Madness raised almost $40,000 over three weeks of a basketball-style bracket challenge, culminating in a championship round with Oklahoma Kappa matched up against Massachusetts Tau-Gamma. With Oklahoma taking home the trophy, they were also awarded an additional $5,000 to their chapter education fund. Counts, knowing that the Fraternity means more than just one chapter, gifted $1,000 of their winnings to the newly opened Oklahoma Sigma chapter education fund in a show of support for undergraduates across the Realm. Look for the second annual March to the Madness to tip off after Founders’ Day in March 2020. ◆

COVER STORY
“ I DECIDED MY BEST CHANCE WAS TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT.”
As Brother Alexander Pancoe (Northwestern ’09) set out to scale Snowmass Mountain, one of Colorado’s many “14ers” (a nickname given to all of the state’s peaks that exceed 14,000 feet), he had no way of knowing the challenges he would face during his climb. He was, however, aware of how close he was getting to an afternoon summit. In the Colorado summertime, large storms occur almost daily, making mountain tops a perilous place to be during the evening hours. As a general rule of thumb, it’s best practice to always plan for a summit to take place before evening, allowing for a safe descent. Determined to train for future climbs, Alex pressed forward anyway. After a fairly typical journey, he reached the top at approximately 12:30 pm., seemingly giving him enough time to get back down safely. Taking a moment to rest, he stared out over the beautiful Colorado landscape, briefly enjoying another successful summit. That’s when he noticed a storm in the distance, quickly making its way towards him.

COVER STORY
To get to safety, he began to descend, hoping to reach lower elevation before the danger was too close. Through the rush to get down, his footing was less careful and his focus less precise. Despite that, he seemed to be making good time and avoiding the more significant risk of being struck by lightning. Then, tragedy struck, bringing his climb to a shuddering halt. While reaching for a handhold, the rock that Alex was grabbing, crumbled. Unable to recover, he fell, just a few feet. Under normal circumstances, such a fall would hardly seem like a scary prospect, but the veteran climber happened to land directly onto a jutting rock, piercing his leg like a dagger. He looked down, only to see blood streaming out of his body and the white of bone, causing a moment of panic in his brain. After assessing the situation, he shook off the fear and quickly began to use additional coats he had brought as a make-shift tourniquet, effectively slowing the bleeding. Overhead, the weather was rapidly worsening, requiring him to formulate a plan of action. He realized that his GPS, which he usually brought along with him, was miles away, secured inside his car on its charger. With little mobility, his hopes of getting off the mountain were growing darker by the second, leading him to the conclusion that he would need to wait it out until morning. At this point, he was reasonably confident in his chances of survival, but knew there was no guarantee that he would get to keep his leg, nor could he guess how long he would have to wait to be found. Recalling the moments following his decision, Alex laughed, saying, “It’s funny, I actually started playing Kenny Chesney just to help me relax and calm down. I don’t remember the song, but I remember it being him.” It was in this calm that he realized just how cold the night would be, and with his coats strapped around his leg, he had little protection from the elements. In a bid to increase his chances of getting help, he did the unthinkable: he began climbing. With the strength he had left, Alex started to make his way down the mountain as best as he could, hoping to reach cell reception. He crawled, and crawled, dragging his shattered leg with him while trying to reach a usable cellular signal. After a long, hard, and painful effort, he successfully gained a single bar of service and placed his call. Once ranger services were alerted to his situation, emergency help arrived as quickly as it could, airlifting him to the nearest hospital. Not only would he keep his leg, but he would start climbing again just six weeks later. Had he given up in the face of such impossible odds, he would never have risen to the occasion, nor would he, just one year later, have completed the Explorer’s Grand Slam. Soon, he would be one of only 67 people to have accomplished such a feat.

The descent
T RY I N G T I M E S Alex’s brush with death on Snowmass Mountain was far from the first, or last, challenging moment in his life. His journey has been unconventional, and at times, very difficult, but its uniqueness is not borne out of struggle or pity. Where his story becomes special is the mindset of his recovery. Just ten years prior, Alex was beginning his college career at Northwestern University. At age eighteen, he was experiencing worsening headaches with no apparent cause. Not wanting to complain, he persisted through the pain for months until his condition began to worsen, resulting in small bouts of temporary paralysis. “At eighteen, it doesn’t even cross your mind that something could seriously be wrong,” he explained. With the issues showing no sign of ending, there was little else to do besides check with a doctor. It was at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago that an MRI scan revealed the source of the problem. Without him realizing, a tumor had been developing,

COVER STORY
compressing the nerves by trapping liquid against his brain, resulting in the headaches and paralysis. Alex remembers his mother coming into his room, crying, as she received the news from the doctors. Unlike his family, to the young patient, the news was considerably less scary and more or less just new information. “At that point, I think I was just a little bit numb to it.” The MRI was followed shortly by a biopsy to identify the exact nature of the tumor. Ultimately, it was determined to be benign, meaning it could be removed, and the chances of it spreading or returning were significantly lower. In the care of the medical professionals at Lurie Children’s, such as esteemed neurosurgeon, Dr. Tandori Tomita, Alex was prepared to undergo procedure and begin distancing himself from this particular chapter of life. Looking back, he acknowledged, “It was a stressful time…but it could have been worse.” Post-surgery, it was only a couple weeks and a few more MRIs before he was on his feet, ready to get back to his regular routine. Much like his time on Snowmass mountain, Alex’s tumor serves as a much earlier example in his life where, as a conscious choice, he made the best of his given situation. Like a True Gentleman, he has also humbly shifted the emphasis away from his own experience to focus more on those around him that are less fortunate.
A B R E AT H O F F R E S H A I R Alex’s devotion to optimism, adventure, and philanthropy has increased dramatically since his time as an undergraduate brother at Northwestern University. Through an ever-developing journey, he has been able to reflect on how his perspective and motivations have changed over time. After completing his studies, he began the next chapter of his life, working hard as an analyst in the financial district of Chicago. “I did, do, extremely well,” he explained. “I used to be one of those guys with the fancy car, clothes, everything.” Not only was he doing well for himself, but he was genuinely enjoying his job, acknowledging how many opportunities and how much comfort it had afforded him. Soon, he was married, advancing his career, and living what appeared to be a happy, rewarding life. With everything seeming to fall into place, it is hard to believe that more challenges would be waiting on the horizon. At age 29, Alex realized that his marriage was simply not working. Not long after, he was struggling through a divorce and watching as his happy life began to close in around him. He opened up, honestly remarking, “I took it really hard…I tried everything to get back to normal.” Feeling as though there were no other options, Alex began thinking more unconventionally. After some research and a bit of courage, he decided to take a step outside of his life and his work in Chicago, leaving the States for a wild safari in Africa. While there, he experienced the moment of clarity for which he had been searching. “I needed some decompression and I thought, ‘hey, let’s look at this as a glass half full…you’re young and divorced, but you’re 29 and 56

have a career that’s given you the financial freedom to go out and explore the world. Not many people have that.’” Instead of getting caught up in recent difficulties, Alex refocused and reclaimed the willful spirit that his eighteen-year-old self had shown in the face of a brain tumor. With a renewed sense of purpose, he wasted no time in moving on to his next adventure: climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. Despite the fact that he had little to no mountaineering experience, the young adventurer felt compelled to step even further outside his comfort zone. No longer satisfied with overcoming his previous challenges, he was now actively seeking new and more exciting ones. The journey to the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro was a steep learning curve for the amateur climber, ultimately requiring fierce determination to get him to the top. This is especially impressive considering that his chosen first climb is one of the Seven Summits, a designation given to the highest mountain on each of the respective seven continents. With an immense achievement under his belt, Alex realized he had fallen in love with mountaineering. He was addicted to the sense of struggle that came with persevering through mental and physical obstacles while climbing. Awestruck as he was, Brother Pancoe still took the time to appreciate the world around him, outside of the narrower lens of his own life. He recalled the feeling of traveling through Africa, saying, “It was eye-opening. An entire curtain was rolled back for me.” The sight that was revealed to Alex was much more than just the view from Africa’s highest point; it was that of a developing country, where basic necessities, such as food and water, often go unmet. Realizing, once again, how fortunate he was to be able to travel and experience the rest of the world left him wanting to do more. Much like his time in Lurie Children’s Hospital, he humbly acknowledged his own privileges in comparison to others. Mount Kilimanjaro may have been the get-away that this aspiring philanthropist needed, but it was also the catalyst for a fire of inspiration, acting as a call to action and a gateway to fulfillment.
G I V I N G T H E E X PE R I E N C E Passionately searching, Alex began to scour the web for ways he could start his path towards best serving others. His research often circled back to the idea of climbing-for-a-cause. Soon, he was coming across a plethora of incredible stories where adventurers would complete their journeys in the name of charity, donating to various philanthropies and further raising funds through their online followings. It was not long before he knew what he would have to do. It is not uncommon for charitable causes to have some sort of personal tie-in, seeing as life experience is often the inspiration that creates them. For Alex, though, his love for Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago went much farther than his own time as a patient. Of course, he is eternally grateful for all of the work they have done to grant him a S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9

COVER STORY
better life, but his desire to work with them is driven by a deeper connection to the entire concept of a hospital for young children. He noted his belief that the Chicago location did indeed go well beyond the regular call of duty, saying that, “They really try to treat these kids as amazingly as possible–they try to make every day a Make-A-Wish.” He went on to explain that the real draw, for him, is the kids themselves, because he’s been able to work with and understand their unique situations. “It’s just easy to get knocked down and be bitter–be angry at the world because you have an unfortunate situation or a life-threatening disease. The way they handle it is remarkable. They don’t let it get them down or dictate their lives. It doesn’t affect their entire outlook, and as we get older, I think we lose a lot of that. We could look up to them, in a way. I didn’t realize just how strong they were because it doesn’t really hit you until you actually sit down with them.” His observations ring true for anyone faced with hardship, showing how young children can be role models regarding their optimism
“ EVERY TIME YOU STOP TO CAMP OR TO GRAB A SNACK, YOU’RE SHEDDING THICK MITTENS AND GOING DOWN TO YOUR LINER GLOVES, AND YOU CAN’T DO THAT FOR MORE THAN THIRTY SECONDS RE RISKING FROSTBITE” and fighting spirit. As life goes on, it becomes easier to lose focus, becoming entrenched in feelings of loss and vulnerability. Giving in to such powerful negativity can create dangerous cycles while stories such as Alex’s, stories full of perseverance and positivity, serve as reminders to the world to never give up and conquer life’s challenges. With a firm understanding of who he would be helping with his work, Alex wasted no time in creating “Peaks of Mind,” his new philanthropic effort to raise one million dollars for the Lurie Children’s 58
Hospital. He was determined to do so by completing the Explorer’s Grand Slam, fully funded out of his own savings, to raise awareness for the Chicago-based center’s work while documenting his travels on an online webpage. The adventure was no longer about himself, nor was it about his own experience fighting disease. It was about taking the opportunities given to him and gifting them to as many others as possible.
T H E LO N G J O U R N E Y In order to complete the Explorer’s Grand Slam, one has to scale all of the Seven Summits, ski to the last degree of both the North and South Poles, as well as participate in copious amounts of training climbs. Achieving this requires intense preparation, peak physical fitness, and an incredible will to persist through all conditions. Many have tried, and many have failed, but to succeed is to overcome one of the most daunting mountaineering challenges imaginable. It took Alex three years and a combined 300 miles of vertical elevation to reach his goal. Looking back, he realized just how motivated he was to succeed, continually pushing himself to his own limits and, at times, risking his life. The task had begun with him training for, and summitting, Mt. Kilimanjaro in November of 2016, and ended with his traversing of Denali during June of 2019. Through this expedition, he had the opportunity to live out another life philosophy of his: “Challenge yourself and have fun doing it.” Though the trip was relatively fast-paced, it was still far from easy. In addition to Alex’s misfortune on Snowmass, he experienced several other close calls, as well as witnessing others struggle with various challenges of climbing. While on Mt. Everest, with the summit just ten minutes away, his oxygen regulator exploded, forcing him to complete the climb while fighting for air. Once at the top, he collapsed while his guide provided him with a spare regulator. “If we didn’t have that regulator, that might have been the end of my life.” There were also several large battles against the elements, as mountaineering takes adventurers to some of the harshest and most inhospitable conditions on the planet. In order to complete both of the Poles, one has to ski cross-country in temperatures ranging as low as -40° C. Similarly, on Mt. Vinson in Antarctica, climbers struggle against the incredible cold. In response to the severity of the freezing temperatures, Alex described it as, “A cat and mouse game where you’re playing with the loss of limbs.” He explained that the “game” was necessary in order to remove enough layers for completing tasks that require more dexterity. “Every time you stop to camp or to grab a snack, you’re
Not only did his positivity allow him to endure the physical and mental strain of completing the Explorer’s Grand Slam, but it provided him with a way of viewing the entire three-year journey in a more holistic sense. Amidst all of the danger and the chaos, there were still incredible moments of comradery and altruism. Much like a fraternity, Alex described the groups of climbers he had traveled with as family.
R E AC H I N G T H E E N D
shedding thick mittens and going down to your liner gloves, and you can’t do that for more than thirty seconds before risking frostbite.” On Aconcagua, a very different condition became an area of concern, as climbers began to develop high altitude-induced cerebral edema. With the stress of sharp physiological shifts, the brain can start to swell and even develop long-term hemorrhaging. Just short of the summit, one of Alex’s teammates began to show signs of the condition, alerting him to the fact that he could no longer see. During the same trip, the team also happened across a fellow climber that had gotten lost and was bleeding from his nose and mouth. He too, had developed edema and, much like Alex’s teammate, had to be flown to safety. Both of them recovered, but their misfortune only lengthened the list of unpredictable circumstances that he had witnessed or experienced while undergoing his journey. These additional hardships provided yet another lesson, reminding everyone of the genuine dangers that accompany extreme adventuring. “People do die or get injured, and you need to take it seriously,” Alex warned, speaking to the precautions that need to be taken. However, he also emphasized the importance of humor. “You can laugh at the absurdity of the situation because it attracts us to them. You’re willingly putting yourself there.” S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
It is virtually impossible to imagine the feeling that would accompany reaching the top of the very last peak on a trip as long as Alex’s. Elation, exhaustion, or triumph would all be valid guesses, but for him, it was bittersweet. After scaling Mt. Everest and feeling the rush of almost completing the Grand Slam, the veteran climber came directly to Denali to make his second, not first, attempt at summitting. One year prior, he had begun to climb North America’s installment of the Seven Summits, only to be thwarted by poor weather conditions, resulting in a need to descend the mountain. Now, after having completed the other six, it was high time he conquered the last of the summits and claimed his title as the most recent explorer to finish all seven. The “bittersweet” that he described after reaching the peak came from a sense of longing and a desire to move on to the next challenge so as not to grow too complacent. Though he has returned to work, his goal-oriented determination has not lost its focus. Through his fundraising efforts, Alex has raised over $500,000 during the course of his three years of climbing. Now, he is continuing to raise awareness for the Lurie Children’s Hospital in the hopes that he can follow through on his million-dollar pledge. Given his history, it is safe to assume that he is up to the task.
A TRUE GENTLEMAN Brother Pancoe’s ability to overcome any and all obstacles speaks greatly to both his character and the empowerment that Sigma Alpha Epsilon strives to provide all of its members. The principles and core values of the Fraternity parallel many of the decisions and philosophies that Alex uses today. Long after graduating, he has continued to live his life in the spirit of serving others, developing lasting friendships, and presenting himself as a true leader. If there is any one thing that can be extracted from these fantastic feats of altruism and adventure, it is this: never give up. No matter the odds. No matter the cost. We must always stay true to ourselves and resist the urge to let the pressures of everyday life bring us down. We cannot always control what happens, but we can control how we react. ◆ “It is our response to adversity that defines us.” —Alexander Pancoe

A 1968 University of South Florida graduate, Cuervo did not have the opportunity to join SAE—it was originally installed on January 20, 1968. Both of Cuervo’s sons, Ronnie (’92) and Steven (’93) were members, and his grandson, Ronnie, Jr., was recently initiated at Florida State University (Florida Beta). Unfortunately, Steven entered Chapter Eternal in 2008 after a fatal car accident. Afterwards, Ronald and Ronnie established an educational award in Steven’s name to provide funds for registration, travel, and per diem for chapter members to attend national, regional, and province educational programming. Ronald was pinned by Ronnie, using Steven’s pin. Ronnie, Jr. was also in attendance to see his father pin his grandfather.

LIFETIME GIVING William “Billy” Levere began the idea of alumni supporting Sigma Alpha Epsilon philanthropically in the 1920s, an idea which eventually formed the SAE Foundation, and designated any man who contributed $1,000 as a “Founder” member. Honoring that beginning and tradition, the Founders Circle today recognizes lifetime donors who sustain this concept in the 21st century and into the future. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation has eight lifetime giving levels ranging from $5,000 to $1,000,000 and more to recognize individuals whose cumulative generosity has made a significant impact on SAE.

ANNUAL GIVING Sigma Alpha Epsilon donors are part of a lively, distinguished community—donors who share a belief in the transformative power of education and the capacity of individuals to better our world through leadership, scholarship, service, and friendship The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation celebrates philanthropic leadership, including special access and courtesies for society members who contribute $500 or more every year to the Annual Fund from July 1–June 30. To join the Archon Circle, visit support.sae.net/archoncircle.
PH O E N I X C I RC LE FO R S U S TA I N I N G D O NO R S As a recurring donor, you see the value in giving to Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Your gift alone ensures that one undergraduate brother is able to attend at least one leadership development opportunity, a national educational program, or is awarded a scholarship, all because of your monthly or yearly gift. Donors that support the Sigma Alpha Epsilon mission on a recurring schedule become a dependable source of income, helping us serve more undergraduate brothers every year.

WHY I VOLUNTEER What has been your biggest or best accomplishment in your role as a volunteer? I am proud of my work in the early days of Kentucky Delta and serving as Province Archon. But I am most proud of my recent volunteer work helping to reestablish the Alabama Chi colony at my alma mater and currently serving as chapter advisor.
MIKE DIEHL Chapter University of South Alabama (Alabama Chi) Volunteer Role Chapter Advisor Previous Volunteer Roles Held Province Xi Archon How long have you volunteered for SAE? My volunteer efforts date back to graduate school days (1973–75) at Eastern Kentucky University. At the time there was a local fraternity applying to become a SAE chapter. I helped with the presentation to the national convention and later become the first pledge educator at Kentucky Delta. I remained active in the Central Kentucky area following grad school including serving as Kentucky Delta Alumni Association president and later Province Xi Archon. Why do you volunteer for SAE? As a charter member of a new chapter Alabama Chi back in 1971, I wanted to make sure that I contributed to the broader fraternity organization. It was important to me to give back to SAE and help create a positive reputation for my home chapter.
10 8
What has been your biggest struggle in your role as a volunteer? Trying to stay in touch with the undergraduate colony given time and travel limitations. However, use of technology has been a big help in effort. What has helped you the most as a volunteer? The National field staff are a big help and support of other alumni brothers has been critical. Where do you see yourself in 2 years? Over the next two years I hope to see Alabama Chi re-chartered as a full chapter in the realm. I expect to continue my volunteer efforts after retirement, especially focusing on housing for the new chapter at the University of South Alabama. What do you think is in the future for SAE? Every great organization has to evolve with the times but I hope we never forget our founding principles and rich history. I live in the beach community of Fort Morgan, Alabama not far from the historical marker for our chief founder Nobel Leslie DeVotie. If we stay true to our roots and precepts of the True Gentleman, SAE will survive and flourish for decades to come. Phi Alpha . ◆
JOSEPH COSTELLO Chapter Youngstown State University (Ohio Alpha) Volunteer Role Province Archon Province: Pi Previous Volunteer Roles Held Province Pi Treasurer, Ohio Alpha Chapter Advisor, Ohio Alpha Alumni Association President, Ohio Alpha Housing Corporation Treasurer How long have you volunteered for SAE? I have volunteered as an alumnus for 13 years. Once I graduated, I moved abroad for a few years living in both Ireland & Saudi Arabia. Once I came back to the United States I was solicited by the active chapter to become the Chapter Advisor for my home chapter of Ohio Alpha. I volunteered as the Chapter Advisor for 2 years. From there I was elected as president of the Ohio Alpha Alumni Association which I have held for the past 10 years. After I was elected to the Alumni Association board, I was asked to participate at the Province level by then Province Pi Archon Mark McDonough. I served as Province Pi Treasurer for 9 years, a position I only relinquished because I have now become the Province Pi Archon. Additionally, at the 163rd Anniversary Convention in Louisville, I was recently elected as secretary for the Council of Province Archons. Why do you volunteer for SAE? There are numerous reasons for my desire to volunteer as an alumnus for Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The primary reason is that Sigma Alpha Epsilon has done so much for me and my life, I want to be able to ensure that Sigma Alpha Epsilon continues to provide that to young men. What has been your biggest or best accomplishment in your role as a volunteer? I have many things that could fit in here. From re-imagining Alumni Association Events that have increased attendance among our S A E • T H E R E C O R D • FA L L 2 0 1 9
alumni to every time an undergraduate personally thanks me for dedicating time and helping them no matter how small the issue. However, I feel the best thing that my role as a volunteer has enabled me to accomplish is being able to get down on one knee and propose to my now wife at the 161st Anniversary Convention in Boston. Then having hundreds of brothers and alumni signing Violets to her after she, thankfully, said Yes. What has been your biggest struggle in your role as a volunteer? The biggest struggle has been driving participation, whether undergraduate or alumni. It is a hard thing to come up with a solution to because it is multifaceted. There are a multitude of reasons that participation might suffer, especially among alumni who have a job, family, and life to balance with their volunteer responsibilities. I think the only way to really attack this issue is to look at some of the larger barriers alumni may have to participate on a per-event or per-position level. The reason can, and will, change based on what you are asking them to participate in. Then do our best to accommodate those barriers & not shame those who have to step back to take care of other things. What has helped you the most as a volunteer? Support. Support from people who have been in my position. Learning what worked and didn’t work for them. Learning what tools they used, situations they may have encountered, and how they overcame them. Where do you see yourself in 2 years? I see myself right where I am now. Reflecting on a successful convention in Des Moines, still volunteering my time and enabling Sigma Alpha Epsilon to mold the lives of young men far into the future. What do you think is in the future for SAE? I can’t see into the future, but being flexible and adaptable to change is the best thing that Sigma Alpha Epsilon can do. Inflexibility is the telltale sign of falling into obsolescence. Thankfully, on a national level, Sigma Alpha Epsilon certainly seems like it is open to adaptation to the environment it finds itself in, and due to that, has become a leader in policy changes that the rest of the inter-fraternal world follows. ◆ 10 9

JOSEPH B. STRAUSS, OHIO EPSILON 1892 (DIED MAY 16, 1938) CHIEF ENGINEER AND BUILDER OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. Brother Strauss graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering in 1892 at the University of Cincinnati, just two years before Judge Alfred K. Nippert. He went on to build one of the most recognizable bridges in America, the Golden Gate Bridge, which was completed in 1937. Brother Strauss was active in Sigma Alpha Epsilon where he reached Founder Member Level ($1000 or more in their lifetime) in 1940, towards the end of the Great Depression. His love of architecture and SAE is evident in the dedication plaque located next to the Peace Chapel doors.
