Passion for helping next generation of brothers drives SigEp volunteers

From the Archives

This manual served as a guide to introduce volunteers to key mentoring concepts during the early days of the Balanced Man Program (BMP) in the 1980s. Initially called the Balanced Man Project, SigEp’s member development program was conceived as a way to provide brothers opportunities for growth throughout their collegiate journey in lieu of traditional fraternity new member programs that only focused on the first weeks of membership. While the Balanced Man Program has evolved over the years, the core concepts remain and have become the foundation of today’s SigEp experience. Participating in the BMP gives our young brothers opportunities to develop into leaders and supports their academic growth. Since implementing the BMP as SigEp’s only member development program in 2015, chapters have consistently shown higher manpower and a culture focused on wellness and continuous personal development.

“Becoming a brother opened my life

opportunities and provided access

mentorship I wouldn’t have had otherwise.”

SigEp PossibleIsn’t Without Volunteers

As I traveled the country as Grand President, meeting undergraduate and alumni brothers, I was often asked if I got paid for this role. I always proudly responded, “More than you can imagine.” Many brothers were surprised, however, to learn I received no financial compensation. The office of Grand President is a volunteer role (as are our other board positions). SigEp volunteers give of our time and treasure, almost always expecting nothing in return. Yet, we seem to always benefit disproportionately. It’s funny how that works.

As SigEp begins the earnest implementation of our strategic plan, we’ve set an audacious goal when it comes to volunteers. We’ve committed to recruit, train, support and retain 15,000 volunteers across the Fraternity. This includes filling a wide range of roles from traditional alumni and volunteer corporation members, to mentors for chapter officers, to a career coach for each undergraduate. Each role is nuanced and can fit what an alumnus or friend is able to give in regard to time commitment, skill application or proximity. Regardless of the role, I can tell you from firsthand experience — if you become a SigEp volunteer, you WON’T be sorry!

Today’s undergraduates seek and need mentoring and coaching more than ever. The expectations have never been higher for them in their roles as chapter leaders and as young men starting their careers. The good news is, SigEp has an abundance — dare I say embarrassment — of talent and experience accumulated in our alumni ranks.

Former Grand President Phil Cox used to say, “Behind every successful chapter are great volunteers.” And he was right. Without fail, there’s a direct correlation between high-functioning chapters and their access to committed volunteers who advise them. And given the near 100 percent turnover in chapter membership every four years, they are virtually the only institutional memory our chapters have.

The truth is, SigEp simply couldn’t turn the lights on every day were it not for the thousands of men and women already coaching and mentoring our chapters and undergraduate members. We couldn’t even come close to paying enough staff to carry out all the essential work our volunteers do every day. Not to

mention the cost we’d incur if we paid each one what they’re actually worth, taking their many decades of life and career experience into account.

In their latest Value of Volunteer Time Report, Independent Sector and the Do Good Institute estimated the value of a volunteer hour to be $31.80, a 6.2 percent increase from 2021 to 2022. If we assume just a couple volunteer hours per mentor, per week, SigEp will receive almost $1 million in human capital and talent each week when we reach our goal of 15,000 committed volunteers. As my grandfather used to say, “That’s adult money.”

It’s never been easier to become a coach or mentor to a SigEp chapter or brother. With ubiquitous cell coverage and the advent of remote meeting technology, you no longer have to be concerned about proximity, unless that’s important to you. You can work with a chapter or undergraduate on the other side of town or the other side of the country. If you’d like to learn more or you’re ready to sign up, just go to sigep.org/volunteers.

I’ll end where I started. I will conclude my term as Grand President in August at our 58th Conclave in San Antonio. It’s been an immense honor and pleasure to have the opportunity to give back to our brotherhood in this way over the past two years. I’ve been compensated more than you can imagine in my role as a SigEp volunteer. Getting the chance to work with undergraduates who are hungry to become better men is a gift. As the old saying goes, “The older I get, the younger my teachers become.” In other words, sometimes our young brothers teach me as much as I teach them.

So, take a chance and give volunteering a try. You WON’T be sorry!

Fraternity Harnesses Data To Deliver an Unparalleled Member Experience

In a changing world where college students face unprecedented financial and social pressures, it’s never been more important for SigEp to understand the needs of our young brothers. To ensure we’re consistently providing a healthy, robust Fraternity experience, SigEp must make decisions that reflect the evolving needs and interests of the undergraduates we serve.

Like any successful organization, SigEp relies on data about its constituents to drive smart decisionmaking. For the past five years, SigEp’s annual Brotherhood Questionnaire has surveyed undergraduate brothers to gather feedback on their beliefs and behaviors, as well as how they view their Fraternity experience.

The survey, which is conducted each fall, was developed for SigEp by Dyad Strategies, a consulting firm that helps universities and organizations evaluate the student experience. More than 53 percent of SigEp undergraduates participated in 2022, providing data on how current brothers feel about their SigEp experience.

Using this data to understand chapter and national trends will enable the Fraternity to continue adapting recruitment and programming as the needs and interests of members change. SigEp’s results were compared to responses gathered from nine other fraternities that also participated in Dyad’s

survey, allowing a picture to emerge, through quantitative data, of just how SigEp is different.

A key takeaway from the 2022 survey: Although a sharp decline in satisfaction is typical for all fraternities as members advance from freshman year to senior year, SigEp saw dramatically lower declines in this area than other fraternities.

The data we’ve gathered from the Brotherhood Questionnaire over the past five years confirms that our belief about what makes for a positive member experience aligns with the kind of brotherhood and leadership development today’s students are looking for. Collecting data on the changing needs of our brothers, and students in general, will continue to play an important role in our ability to build

In 1901, in an unheated, unfurnished room in a residence hall tower at Richmond College, our first brothers charted the path for what would become Sigma Phi Epsilon. Ever since, as demonstrated by the Fraternity updates and chapter milestones in this section, we have lived by our founding principle, “This Fraternity will be different.”

Gentry McCreary, Ph.D., the CEO and managing partner of Dyad Strategies, observed that SigEp does “a better job than other fraternities maintaining engagement and maintaining high levels of satisfaction” across the four-year college experience.

He added, “I think that’s a very strong indicator of the fact that the things you’re doing with the Balanced Man Program — particularly around keeping upperclassmen engaged — is really having an impact. We can see really a distinct difference between SigEp and some of the other fraternities we’re working with.” Although the survey indicates SigEps are experiencing a similar level of satisfaction as other fraternities, McCreary noted that SigEp offers a much healthier experience.

OVERALL ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION OVER TIME

Data from the most recent survey underscores that the 2017 vote by undergraduates to make housing substance-free continues to have a positive effect on reducing risky and unhealthy behaviors that often occur with alcohol use. Our brothers are below the national average on all measures of alcohol use, including binge drinking frequency and overall consumption — a trend that has continued over the past five years.

HAZING TOLERANCE OVER TIME

National

Similarly, when asked about their attitudes toward hazing, SigEp undergrads expressed a lower tolerance for this behavior than members of other fraternities. SigEp has seen declines in hazing tolerance since 2018.

ENGAGE

Remember the fun and excitement of learning new things and making new friends during college? But behind those great times, the anxiety of going out into THE REAL WORLD loomed.

Remember thinking, WHERE DO I FIND A JOB? HOW DO I START?

Thankfully, today’s undergraduates don’t have to ask those questions because they have YOU, their SigEp brothers to help them navigate these uncertainties!

Our young brothers need CAREER COACHES, and that’s where YOU come in. By giving just an hour of your time, you can help a young brother who wants to enter your career field figure out his next move. Sign up to be a career coach today: scan the QR code or go to sigep.org/ careercoaching

“Since my term as Grand President ended in 1995, I have continued my involvement with SigEp, particularly my home chapter, Tennessee Beta. My wife, Gay, has always been very supportive of the time I give to SigEp. It has also been extremely satisfying for us to continue our financial support of the Fraternity and see the impact it has made on the lives of our young brothers! I hope that all our alumni will contribute to SigEp’s ongoing efforts to change Greek life for the better and keep SigEp as the greatest Fraternity in the country.”

“Sigma Phi Epsilon became family by supporting and mentoring me as an undergraduate and thereafter. At a time when I desperately needed guidance on many levels, the Fraternity provided this and showed me the way. Giving back adds to SigEp’s ability to continue providing this for others and gives them the best opportunity to achieve and contribute to our family. My giving supports the continuation of future generations.”

“I started contributing to the SigEp Educational Foundation at the age of 22. It was not very much money, but I believed so strongly in the mission of Building Balanced Leaders for the World's Communities. I had already benefited so much from my SigEp experience that it was important to me to get in the habit of giving. That habit has continued for more than three decades. Some brothers donate their time to SigEp as alumni volunteers and mentors. Some brothers contribute to the Foundation. Many brothers do both. Giving back to SigEp is investing in our future leaders. I am committed to

“SigEp is a family affair for me, because if you go all the way back to 1977, my wife, Barbara, and I first met at the Tennessee Gamma SigEp house. All of my closest friends are SigEps from my undergraduate days, and both of my sons are SigEps from Tennessee Gamma. It only makes sense to give back to an organization that has given so much to me and my family.

My Journey from Mentee to Mentor

By Sean Terwilliger, Florida Gulf Coast ’10

When I started college, I had pretty mediocre expectations for myself. I hadn’t expected I’d even be able to afford to attend a college, let alone thrive at one. Sitting in the new student convocation, I listened to the student body president say, “One day, one of you will be standing on this stage giving this speech …” In my head, I laughed at the idea that I would ever be THAT student.

My perspective shifted as I adjusted to student life, especially after joining SigEp. Ask me now and I would wholeheartedly join the eight in 10 alumni who said in a recent Gallup poll that if they had to do it all over again, they’d still join their fraternity or sorority. Becoming a brother opened my life to opportunities and provided access to mentorship I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Mentorship is a natural part of the SigEp

experience. The older brothers in my chapter, along with the few volunteers we had at the time, always pushed me to see more in myself than I knew was there. Having supportive mentors gave

of one brother in particular. He not only encouraged me to join the chapter, he was also involved in student government. He not only helped me recognize my potential as a leader, but also motivated me to run for student body president.

Mentorship taught me what I was capable of, opened doors for my career and inspired me to continue giving back long after I graduated. Mentorship continued to play a role after graduation, leading me not only into my first successful career

and purpose that derives from serving as chapter counselor and working with young brothers in shaping their development program, creating an effective recruitment strategy, and communicating how SigEp is different from other organizations on their campus has connected me through my own experiences as a mentee. Fully understanding the value of those experiences today, as an alumnus, makes continuing the traditions of SigEp more than worth the costs of time, talent and treasure that I give as a volunteer and a mentor. So, thank you to all the mentors who stood beside me along the way. I hope I am giving even an ounce of what you gave me!

me the confidence to take on leadership roles in the chapter that led me all the way to the Tragos Quest to Greece. I even got involved in student government and became the guy on stage giving the speech when I was elected student body president my junior year.

None of those accomplishments would have happened if I hadn’t been pushed by my SigEp mentors. As I reflect on the mentors who influenced me, I can’t help but think

in politics, but also into my current career in the fitness, health and wellness space. Mentors within SigEp continue to help me navigate the career landscape and keep me motivated when imposter syndrome takes hold.

I continue to look up to mentors within SigEp to this day. I lean on this brotherhood to inspire me and give me the opportunity to provide for others what was provided for me. The joy

In my head, I laughed at the idea that I would ever be THAT student.

Sean Terwilliger is currently chapter counselor for SigEp’s Texas Beta chapter at North Texas.

Since fall 2020, SigEp’s Career Coaching program has matched undergraduate brothers with alumni working in their chosen fields. Here are some highlights of the program, as of May 2023.

“ When I decided to go into civil engineering, I didn’t have a clue what I’d do with my degree. After hearing about SigEp’s Career Coaching, I decided to try it. I was connected with Todd Pietrasiak [WPI ’92], the owner of New England Infrastructure. We connected over Zoom and discussed project management. I stayed in contact and ended up getting an internship at his company. I loved it so much, I went back the next summer. If there’s one thing I could tell other brothers, it’s that there are so many opportunities within SigEp. Alumni want to help. All you need to do is ask.”

— Ethan Edwards, Mississippi State ’23

“ I t gives me immense pride that I’m an alumnus of a Fraternity that values professional and personal development. Being able to shape our brothers at any stage in their life, personally or professionally, is the best feeling, since I do not have a sibling of my own. Being in these mentoring sessions, it felt like I was talking to my younger brother and giving him life advice.”

“ I s igned up for a career coach and was matched with Bruce Anderson [Texas-Austin ’71]. I was studying for the LSAT at the time, but quickly realized I had little desire to practice law. Bruce advised me not to pursue a degree for something I had no interest in. Instead, he said, I should explore a graduate degree in the specific area I want to focus on. He told me about public affairs programs, and my conversation with him allowed me to discover the degree path that will lead me toward the future I want. I am so thankful for SigEp’s Career Coaching for connecting us.”

Passion for helping next generation of brothers drives SigEp volunteers

By Tyya N. Turner

Where would SigEp be without its volunteers?

The Fraternity relies on our volunteers, and they step up — serving as everything from program facilitators to mentors for undergraduate brothers to fundraising captains for the annual Founders Day of Giving.

While it’s widely acknowledged that volunteers are the soul of our Fraternity, it’s not always clear to those who aren’t involved what actually goes into being a volunteer or even how to become one. The main requirement for serving as a SigEp volunteer: a strong desire to mentor undergraduates and make a positive impact on chapter life. Those interested will find SigEp has a wealth of volunteer opportunities open to both alumni and non-members. Volunteers can serve remotely or in person with any chapter, in an ongoing role as part of an alumni and volunteer corporation or in one-time roles such as a career coach or event facilitator.

Chad Phillips Baker ’17

WHEN HE LEARNED ABOUT SigEp’s Career Coaching program, Chad Phillips signed up to serve as a coach. The program, which connects undergrads with alumni working in the fields they hope to pursue, is something Phillips says he wished existed during his undergraduate days. A recent dental school graduate, Phillips was looking forward to sharing his experiences with brothers thinking of entering the profession. Since signing up to be a coach, Phillips has met with four undergraduate brothers.

Service Above Self

The one-hour conversations have mostly centered on the process of applying to dental school, but Phillips said he’s also discussed “the life of a new dentist and the career transition after leaving school.” He said it’s been rewarding to know that he’s helped several brothers take the first steps on the path to entering his profession.

Payton Gabel, North Dakota ’23 , one of the undergrads Phillips coached, said the experience helped him gain clarity about what he needs to do to realize his professional goals. “I felt that Chad was able to decipher and simplify the complicated route to becoming a dentist,” he said. “He was able to answer questions about the application process and shared what he wanted out of his future career.”

Phillips is glad his own experiences may make the path to dental school smoother for some brothers and noted he’s happy to have follow-up conversations with his matches if more questions arise and they want to speak with him again.

For a while during dental school, he served on a local chapter’s AVC, but the demands of attending school full time caused him to reduce his involvement. Phillips noted that Career Coaching has been a great opportunity for him to remain connected to the Fraternity and give back during a period in his life when he couldn’t commit to a more timeconsuming role.

The Volunteers’ Volunteer

Considering how much SigEp prioritizes the involvement of volunteers in the undergraduate experience, it should come as no surprise that the Fraternity has a volunteer role especially for the purpose of recruiting other volunteers — district governors (DGs). These key volunteers appoint chapter counselors and balanced man stewards and support the alumni and volunteer corporations in their districts by recruiting and training volunteers.

Brian Tenclinger, Louisiana State Renaissance, joined SigEp’s Headquarters staff in 2022 as volunteer engagement and education director. One of his early undertakings was to develop a leader-

ship conference for the DGs, highlighting best practices in recruitment and training, the needs of today’s college students, and more. Bringing the district governors together to learn with and from each other is part of SigEp’s ongoing commitment to provide volunteers with training and resources so they can effectively support undergraduates.

Twenty-seven DGs were able to attend in person, with another six taking part virtually. The 2022 conference marked the first time in at least 15 years that an event has been held specifically for DGs to come together to discuss strategies for volunteer engagement.

“I felt that Chad was able to decipher and simplify the complicated route to becoming a dentist.”

Payton Gabel, North Dakota ’23

Frank Ko Pepperdine ’97

Frank Ko serves double duty, supporting his home chapter, California Psi at Pepperdine, with roles as chapter counselor and AVC vice president.

Guiding young brothers is personal for Ko because he remembers what it was like when the chapter lost its charter during his freshman year. “I mentor them to try to make sure they don’t repeat mistakes that were made previous on occasions,” he said. As a founding father of his chapter, it’s important to Ko to offer his guidance so the chapter remains on the right track. That means doing things like

getting together with members of the chapter’s executive board during the summer to discuss goals for fall recruitment. He sees his responsibility as chapter counselor to be an advisor who sets the tone, helps the undergrads establish goals and helps them focus on achieving those goals.

In his more than 20 years as a volunteer, Ko has also served as AVC treasurer and mentor to the undergraduate chapter’s vice president of finance.

“I would say to other alumni, it doesn’t matter when we graduated,

just stay involved. If you put in the time and effort, you’ll see the results. You’ll never know the difference you can make if you don’t volunteer.”

Ko noted that being a volunteer is about doing what you can to give back, but that volunteering brings its own rewards. “Ever since I started volunteering, I’ve met awesome alumni. All of my closest friends are other SigEps, either from Pepperdine or other chapters.”

Jimmy Miller

AS A FORMER REGIONAL director who was responsible for working with chapters in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia, Jimmy Miller was excited by the idea of continuing to serve multiple chapters as a volunteer.

After concluding his time on the Fraternity’s Headquarters staff, Miller initially moved to Dayton, Ohio, and began volunteering with the Ohio Pi chapter at Wright State. “It was a good opportunity to step into a local role and serve as their balanced man steward,” he said.

Miller is appreciative of how warmly the chapter embraced him. He said the chapter holds a brotherhood retreat and an especially meaningful Ritual each semester. “I was the first non-Ohio Pi SigEp to be invited to share that experience with them.”

Miller also decided to volunteer with SigEp’s Ohio Nu chapter at Cleveland State due to the strong connection he formed with the undergraduates while serving as their regional director.

“My decision to take on that role was

purely emotional,” he stated.

Since he didn’t live near the chapter, he had to develop a plan for maintaining that bond with the chapter. “I visited about once a semester to do a workshop with the executive board,” he explained. “I kept regular tabs on them, talking every other week to the chapter president.”

Miller believes having a strong rapport with the chapter you’re serving is one of the most crucial aspects to succeeding as a volunteer, regardless of where one lives. “I may not have been there [physically], but when they called, I answered. I know they trusted me to help them with whatever issue they were dealing with. It’s a warm feeling knowing I’ve built those relationships and have that trust with the undergrads.”

Miller is currently engaged as a mentor with Ohio Eta at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Since moving for work again, this time to Indiana, he decided to scale back his other volunteer commitments. He remains pleased about his time volunteering with multiple chapters and looks forward to a time when he can become more involved again.

Myths about volunteering with SigEp

Here’s the secret ingredient for succeeding as a SigEp volunteer: willingness to listen and share your experiences with our undergraduate brothers as they navigate life as a modern college student.

There are many misconceptions about what it takes to be a SigEp volunteer. Let’s shatter some of those myths.

Holly Lovern

You must volunteer with your home chapter. On the contrary, volunteering with a chapter that isn’t your home chapter is a rewarding way to get to know undergraduates and fellow volunteers in a different city or area of the country, learn from each other’s successes, and pass on the life lessons you learned as an undergraduate. Alumni who don’t live near their alma mater shouldn’t feel confined to only volunteering with their home chapter. Sigma Phi Epsilon is a nationwide brotherhood, after all.

him as he tries to define his own.

WHILE GETTING HER MASTER’S IN STUDENT affairs at the University of South Carolina, Holly Lovern heard the school’s SigEp chapter was seeking volunteers. She’d been active in a sorority as an undergrad and was curious about what working with a fraternity would be like. Acting on that interest, she connected with the chapter and was asked to serve as mentor for the chair of the Brother Mentor challenge at SigEp’s South Carolina Alpha chapter.

Although she didn’t really know what to expect, she said she still found herself surprised by the experience.

“Sororities are structured differently,” Lovern explained. “We don’t have as many opportunities.” Beyond having the chance to interact with and serve as a role model for members of the chapter, volunteering also connected Lovern with other volunteers and members of SigEp’s Headquarters staff. Her contributions were quickly noticed by fellow volunteers, and staff reached out to her about facilitating at events like the Carlson Leadership Academies.

You have to live near a campus where SigEp has a chapter. As seen in the example of Jimmy Miller, phone calls, emails and video meetings can be used to stay in touch with undergraduate brothers between in-person visits. Maintaining a long-distance connection will create a foundation that makes your interactions all the more meaningful during the times when you’re face to face.

3 Volunteering requires more time than you can give. Doing something significant doesn’t always require a huge amount of time. For instance, serving as a career coach typically only takes an hour. But that hour you spend talking with an undergraduate brother about your career path will make a lasting impact on

4 You have to serve on an alumni and volunteer corporation in order to volunteer. You may not have the time to commit to serving in an ongoing role with a chapter, but there are a multitude of ways you can make a positive impact on our brothers’ development. In addition to Career Coaching, there are opportunities to facilitate sessions at SigEp events such as Carlson Leadership Academies, Life After College, Ruck Leadership Institute and Conclave. While the time commitment for these volunteer engagements is relatively brief, you’ll make a long-lasting impact on our brothers.

5 You have to be a brother to volunteer for SigEp. The Fraternity welcomes the perspective of women and other nonmembers.

After about a year and a half, Lovern relocated to start a new position at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Lovern had enjoyed her experience as a SigEp volunteer and wondered if there was an opportunity to volunteer at her new school. “I was interested in staying involved with SigEp because it was different from but also intersected with my professional work,” Lovern explained. As a gender violence service coordinator, Lovern works with students who have experienced sexual assault or interpersonal violence, but also seeks to prevent such incidents.

All of SigEp’s volunteers are older alumni. Seasoned alumni are revered for their wisdom, but we shouldn't count younger alumni out. Because they were recently in the same shoes as our undergraduate brothers, they tend to form easy connections with chapters and have unique insight on what it’s like to launch a career in these unusual times.

After reaching out to SigEp Headquarters, Lovern was asked to serve as chapter counselor for the North Carolina Gamma chapter at Duke and served in that role until the chapter’s closure in 2022. She was later tapped to serve on the national Fraternity’s SigEp Learning Community Committee, a role she enjoys because of its parallels to her work in education.

Today, Lovern has come full circle in her SigEp involvement. She is once again volunteering with South Carolina Alpha, this time mentoring the vice president of learning community.

“One thing I appreciate is that SigEp invests in its volunteers. I’ve had a lot of professional development and I also enjoy the interaction with other volunteers, so, it’s really become a community for me,” she said. Lovern added, “I think the connection I feel with SigEp has kept me coming back.”

Brotherly Love

Many people go their whole lives without finding their true calling. But Mike Mathisen, Baker ’90 , is fortunate to be able to do something he loves. The best part? He helps others while doing it. As founder of the Colorado-based nonprofit Follow the Footsteps Epic Adventures, Mathisen enables people living with disabilities to experience the joy and relaxation of outdoor activities.

Engaging in an active lifestyle can often prove difficult for people with disabilities, particularly when it involves the outdoors. Lack of equipment that meets their physical needs, inability to access certain areas and difficulty navigating tricky terrain are all common barriers. Through his organization, Mathisen provides adaptive sporting equipment and, assisted by a group of volunteer guides, coaches people living with disabilities to use it while exploring the National Trails System.

“The true goal is coaching people to independence, and mobility is independence,” Mathisen explained. “When you live with a cognitive or physical disability, your independence is often lost to some extent.”

Climb (and bike and hike and ski) every mountain

Brother's nonprofit empowers the disabled to enjoy the outdoors

By Tyya N. Turner

Mathisen has taken participants out to experience a variety of activities, including hiking, skiing and biking. In the summer of 2022, the nonprofit added its first rafting trip, taking nearly two dozen participants on a two-hour journey down the Colorado River. The group also organized a hike of the Colorado Trail in summer 2022,

supporting participants who wanted to hike a portion or all of a planned 45-day trek. Follow the Footsteps is currently planning a hike of the Appalachian Trail for summer 2024.

The organization also gets the families of those who live with disabilities involved, encouraging them to accompany their loved ones on these adventures. They receive guidance from the Follow the Footsteps team so they can serve as a support “crew” on future outings.

Kelly, a mom of a participant, had nothing but great things to say about her family’s experience. She said, “Mike shows incredible patience dealing with my child, as well as all the other kids throughout the different programs he has helped with. His tireless energy and dedication to coaching is a blessing to a single mom like myself. I not only appreciate the skills he gives my son while coaching, but also the mentorship.”

When Mathisen speaks about being in a position to help others move past perceived limitations, his passion for planning and leading these life-changing outings is obvious.

“My goal is to coach families and caregivers to run robust outdoor activities,” he said. “I give the crew the confidence that they can do it. The most rewarding part for me is, I can coach a family so that they can take their loved one out.”

Mathisen, who is an avid skier, realized there was a lack of outdoor recreation opportunities for people with disabilities because his own family has been in the same situation.

“I had two foster daughters who were adopted, and both of them have cognitive disabilities,” Mathisen said. This led him to become involved with a local program, Steamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports. He volunteered with that organization for about 10 years before branching out to found Follow the Footsteps in 2015.

While Mathisen is clearly devoted to Follow the Footsteps, running the organization isn’t his full-time job. He’s had a lengthy career at commercial food supply company Shamrock Foods. His

current position as a sales manager keeps him busy, but he says he’s grateful to work for a company that affords him the flexibility and financial stability to do both.

Follow the Footsteps is mostly self-funded by Mathisen, along with donations. In 2022, the nonprofit received a grant for $23,500 from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The funds were used to buy new skis and electric hand-assist bike equipment.

The purchases greatly expanded the capabilities of Follow the Footsteps’ Loan Locker program. It’s one of the aspects of the organization that Mathisen is most proud of. Follow the Footsteps has a collection of adaptive sports equipment that it loans out to members of the disabled community. The organization demonstrates and provides

instruction on how to use the equipment, which can be borrowed for up to four weeks.

“We’ve converted all of our bike equipment to ebikes,” Mathisen explained. “Ebikes are a game changer for those who want to live an active lifestyle with a disability,” he added.

Terrance, who is living as a double leg amputee, is one of the first participants to benefit from the new equipment. He hasn’t been able to ride standard bikes because they lack the stability he needs to safely stay upright. “I was almost in tears, to be honest with you,” he said, after trying out one of the organization’s newly adapted ebikes. “It absolutely is a gift for people in my situation that people have designed and built this equipment.”

“I’m always searching for adaptive equipment, volunteers and donations to grow and expand,” Mathisen said. Noting that Follow the Footsteps currently provides over 300 guided ski/bike/hike/raft adventures each year, he added, “We are striving for the season when we guide over 1,000 participants.”

A whole new ballgame

Paul Deanno, Syracuse ’96 , and Scott Reiss, Stanford ’93 , first met when Deanno interned at the TV station where Reiss had recently been hired as a news anchor. The two formed an easy connection and soon learned they’re both SigEps.

“It was a nice thing to have in common, and I think it took our friendship to another level,” Deanno said.

Although their careers have taken them in different directions — Reiss went on to become a sports anchor at ESPN and is currently the play-byplay announcer for Stanford football and basketball, while Deanno is now a meteorologist with NBC in Chicago — the friends reconnected during the years when they lived just minutes from each other.

By this time, Deanno, who has written four children’s books about weather, was running a small publishing company with his wife, Suzanne. One day, Reiss shared his idea with Deanno to publish a book in which top sportscasters recount their years in the trenches covering a range of stories, from everyday high school sports to quirky local events, in small cities and towns across the country. He wasn’t looking to tell the typical stories about rubbing shoulders with pro athletes, but instead to share the offbeat stories famous sportscasters cut their teeth on while pursuing their big break.

Deanno loved the potential in Reiss’ idea, but couldn’t commit to the project at the time. Fast forward five years: Reiss was on a beach with his family on vacation in Hawaii when Deanno called to say he wanted to publish the book Reiss had pitched to him.

The result is “Where They Were Then,” a compilation of 15 first-person

essays from some of today’s most popular sportscasters, including Scott Van Pelt and Trey Wingo.

Reiss said it didn’t take much convincing to get any of the sportscasters in the book to share their stories. “They saw it as an opportunity to share part of their story no one ever asks them about,” he said. “These are the priceless anecdotes they share with their buddies over drinks. I knew capturing these stories would be interesting.”

From finding contributors to editing to marketing, the Emmy-winning broadcasters played a part in every aspect of putting the book together. The book took just under seven months for the pair to complete. In the summer of 2022, they released the audio version of the book and are looking forward to collaborating on more projects together.

“These are the priceless anecdotes they share with their buddies over drinks. I knew capturing these stories would be interesting.”

Prestigious scholarship caps brother’s impressive college career

Max Yates, Montana State ’21 , has been awarded a Marshall Scholarship that will enable him to study in England for two years. Yates was one of just 46 students to be named a 2022 scholar, placing him in the top 3 percent of a highly competitive applicant pool.

He’ll use the scholarship to study England’s innovations in primary care systems by earning a master’s degree at the University of Cambridge, then pursue a second master’s in health policy and health economics at the University of Birmingham. After, he plans to attend medical school and hopes to practice primary care medicine in a rural, underserved community.

“I want to use the experience of studying and researching primary care structures and health workforce studies in the U.K. to provide ideas that I can bring back to serve rural areas in Montana,” Yates said. He added, “The opportunity to specialize and study the fields I am interested in is enthralling. It will be a long journey ahead, but it will be interesting and, I think, fun.”

The Marshall Scholarship program enables highperforming young Americans to earn a degree in the United Kingdom. The scholarships were first awarded in 1954. Each year, up to 50 scholars are chosen to study on the graduate level in the field of their choice at a U.K. institution. For the 2022 scholarship class, 1,190 students applied, 163 were interviewed and 46 selected.

Yates, who was also named a Truman scholar and a Tragos Quest to Greece scholar in 2020, is only the second student in Montana State history to receive the Marshall Scholarship.

Museum visit lays groundwork for greater inclusivity

The subject of racial inequities and discrimination in fraternities and sororities has became a hot topic on many campuses in recent years. Brothers from SigEp’s D.C. Delta chapter at American University realized if they wanted to be more inclusive, they’d need to consciously broaden their understanding of other cultures.

Gabriel Vazquez, St. John's ’10, serves as D.C. Delta’s balanced man steward, helping the chapter implement its Balanced Man Program. He arranged admission for a group of approximately 15 brothers to visit the National Museum of

African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) (above left) during the pandemic before it fully reopened. After learning from a staff member about the museum’s layout — starting underground, the exhibits chronicle the bleakest times in African American history with progressively better periods detailed on ascending floors — the group spent the day touring the museum.

Ben Yepez, American ’24 , who served in the recently created role of vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), said he immediately saw the potential of the outing when Vazquez shared the idea

The tour also opened brothers’ eyes about some people and events in our country’s history that they previously knew little about.

with him. “The underlying idea was, ‘What can we learn?’ From a DEI perspective, I felt something like this could expand our knowledge and help brothers rethink what they thought they knew.”

After working their way up the museum’s seven levels, brothers convened to reflect on the experience. Yepez said discussing what they learned added another dimension to the trip. “Everyone seemed to have a positive experience. What I heard a lot was, ‘I never knew this before’ and ‘I had no idea about this part of history.’”

Part of the discussion centered on privilege and the various ways it can impact one’s life. Vazquez said at the end of the conversation, “We challenged everyone to speak with someone they might normally not or to work within communities that are not as fortunate as some of us are.”

The tour also opened brothers’ eyes about some people and events in our country’s history that they previously knew little about. They said they also gained insight on symbols, how they’ve been used throughout history and how the significance of certain symbols can vary among different communities

and cultures. One of the things they discussed was the importance of how symbols are used, including those in SigEp’s Ritual.

Yepez is hoping to plan more outings so brothers can take advantage of other culturally significant attractions and events in and around D.C. Vazquez said he’d like to organize another visit to the NMAAHC with a larger group of brothers and that he’d love to do so with members of a historically Black fraternity.

Yepez said discussing what they learned added another dimension to the trip. “What I heard a lot was, ‘I never knew this before’ and ‘I had no idea about this part of history.’”

Passion for planes leads brother to the Blue Angels

By S cott Thompson, Southern Mississippi ’99

If you’re a fan of the iconic United States Navy Blue Angels and happened to see a performance during the 2022 airshow season, hopefully, you paid close attention to the narration. The voice you heard was that of Lt. Griffin Stangel, North Dakota ’12 . Stangel was selected for the flight demonstration squadron in 2021 after a monthslong application and interview process. He served as narrator during the 2022 season and also flew the number 7 plane.

Stangel said since high school, he’s thrived when he is part of a group that he can make better, but one that also pushes him to be his best. “During high school, I rowed and participated in Scouts. When those both ended, I found myself looking for that sense of family and teamwork that I had experienced before college,” he shared. “Being part of SigEp in college gave me the opportunity to work with my brothers to accomplish some amazing things, and that leadership experience was something I took with me into my military career.” That outlook also influenced his decision to apply to become a member of the Blue Angels.

Stangel’s love of planes started at a young age and led him to take aviation courses while in high school. Touring the University of North Dakota and learning about the school’s highly renowned aviation program inspired him to turn his passion into his profession. He studied aviation, earning a degree in air traffic control. As an undergraduate, he joined SigEp’s North Dakota Alpha chapter and served as chaplain.

In his junior year, he signed on to become a Navy pilot after graduation,

and by 2014 was a member of Strike Fighter Squadron 122. After multiple deployments in the Pacific, including one to RIMPAC — the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise — Stangel returned to the squadron. He’s now an instructor, training other pilots to do what he loves most.

“Being part of SigEp ... that leadership experience was something I took with me into my military career.”

Brotherly love knows no borders

If someone had told Sean Labarrere, Cal Poly Pomona ’10, he’d one day serve in a war zone, he would’ve considered the prediction highly improbable. But that’s exactly what happened. In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine. Weeks later, Labarrere found himself crossing the border from Poland into the former Russian territory to assist the nation in its fight for freedom.

Labarrere was an unlikely enlistee. Although he comes from a long line of veterans, he has no military experience, nor is he of Ukrainian descent. But seeing how distressed close friends with family ties to the besieged country were as missiles struck and people fled for safety made him want to help.

“I have a daughter, and I couldn’t sit back and watch women and children be killed in a senseless war,” Labarrere said. “I felt the calling to go over and make a difference.”

Labarrere had experience dealing with crisis situations due to his time as part of the County of Riverside Emergency Management Department’s COVID-19 planning and logistics team.

A friend connected Labarrere with the Norman Brigade, a Canada-based unit composed of volunteers from several countries. He applied to serve as a volunteer soldier and spent the weeks before his departure researching and planning. After arriving in Ukraine, he was vetted before being embedded with the group.

“My experience organizing critical infrastructure and equipment during emergencies and the leadership skills I learned in SigEp allowed me to integrate very well into the unit,” Labarrere stated.

As an active member of the brigade, he managed supplies and oversaw the care, storage and inventory of weapons and other equipment. Logistics became difficult when massive fuel shortages in Ukraine occurred, and significant

planning was needed to move units to and from the front lines.

After volunteering for a rotation at the front, Labarrere spent time watching for advancing Russian troops and spent three weeks in trenches, just yards away from Russian forces. During this time, Labarrere and his unit were under heavy artillery fire.

After serving for two months, Labarrere returned home safely. He continues to hope for an end to the conflict so that the Ukrainian people can rebuild their country and their lives.

“I felt the calling to go over and make a difference.”

When it comes to grades, they don’t play around

No matter how attentive students are in the classroom, additional study time is a requirement for most. Typically, that time is spent alone, but the brothers of SigEp’s Missouri Alpha chapter at the University of Missouri have found a unique way to inject a social aspect into their study time.

Similar to fantasy sports leagues, the chapter’s fantasy academics program takes a team approach to helping brothers stay on track with their studies. Brothers are drafted onto teams of 10, with each team member earning points for high test scores, studying or receiving a complimentary note from a professor. The program was started during the pandemic to help brothers connect and encourage them academically. Accomplishments are shouted out throughout the semester at chapter meetings, and the team that finishes the term with the

most points is treated to dinner.

The program’s coordinators said in addition to boosting the chapter’s grades, the league has also created new opportunities for brothers to spend time together.

“Our GPA has been 3.49 or above every semester since we started the program. I’ve heard brothers say, ‘I see this or that brother is studying, and I need to step up my game,’” said Zach Lovelace, Missouri ’24 , the chapter’s former vice president of learning community.

Grant Himmelmann ’23 , who served as fantasy academics draft commissioner, added, “It’s a good, competitive vibe. Brothers are really engaged with the program. I try to give updates, like who’s leading, to keep everyone interested.”

While the program isn’t mandatory, Himmelmann and Lovelace said the majority of the 70-man chapter has

participated regularly. The chapter has even promoted the program to potential new members and fielded questions from other campus organizations that are interested in starting their own fantasy academics program.

“Our GPA has been 3.49 or above every semester since we started the program. I’ve heard brothers say, ‘I see this or that brother is studying, and I need to step up my game.’”

Finding a brotherly hand in an unexpected place

Asudden health crisis left Gerard Begg, Southern Methodist ’87, in need of heart surgery. Because he wouldn’t be able to operate a vehicle for several weeks postop, Begg knew he’d need someone to drive him home when he was released, but decided he’d figure that out later.

While recovering from his successful operation, Begg thought about how to get back home. The exact date and time of his discharge were subject to his doctor’s assessment that he was healthy enough to be home on his own. There was no way to schedule that; as it happened, the moment came on a weekday when friends were unable to take impromptu time off work.

Eager to return home, he pondered who might be available on short notice and thought of a neighbor he chatted with from time to time. The younger man was friendly and had even driven him to get his initial tests done. He called, and the neighbor agreed to pick him up. After getting him settled at home, Begg’s neighbor checked in on him, making sure he got his medication and taking him for follow-up tests.

A couple of months later, Begg ran into his neighbor as he was leaving his house. To his surprise, the younger man was wearing a shirt with SigEp letters!

Begg (a founding father of his chapter) and Matthew Schulz, Truman State ’17, have now bonded over their shared experiences and ideals as SigEps.

While at first pleasantly surprised to learn Schulz was a brother, Begg said on further reflection, it made perfect sense. “I thought it now makes sense in so many ways that he offered to help me. I am convinced he was carrying forth the three principles — Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love — that Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded on.”

Schulz says he’s just glad he could assist a neighbor in need and discovering a brother was a bonus. “Seeing his recovery has been awesome,” Schulz added. “I was helping him out because it’s the right thing to do. It’s what I would have done for anyone, but finding out he was a brother was a nice surprise. It’s something you don’t really expect.”

“I thought it now makes sense in so many ways that he offered to help me.”

In Memoriam

SigEp celebrates these devoted and accomplished brothers. They contributed greatly to our brotherhood and the world around them, and their impact will never be forgotten.

A founding member of his chapter’s alumni and volunteer association, Avery Gaskins, West Virginia ’53 , was also a longtime member of the chapter’s building association. In the 1960s, he played a key role in alumni communication and fundraising efforts for construction of the chapter’s new facility. He later served as chapter counselor for over a decade. Gaskins was presented the Order of the Golden Heart in 1985 for his many years of service and leadership.

Chuck White, Western Michigan ’62 , dedicated his professional life to making Sigma Phi Epsilon the leader among college fraternities. In his more than 40 years on staff and as a volunteer, White touched thousands of lives and laid the groundwork for some of the Fraternity’s most enduring and life-changing programs. His efforts to expand chapter services and financial management during a nationwide decline in fraternity membership proved crucial to SigEp’s survival. In the 1980s, while

serving as president of the Fraternity Executive Association, he developed risk management guidelines that helped all fraternities lower insurance rates and keep their brothers safe. He went on to serve as president of the SigEp Educational Foundation and became a trustee after his retirement. In 2019, he was awarded the Order of the Golden Heart.

SigEp Citation recipient Billy Boles, North Carolina State ’61, was a highly ranked and highly decorated officer who served in the U.S. Air Force for more than three decades. In 1995, he was promoted to general and named commander of the Air Education and Training Command. As senior personnel officer for the entire Air Force, he oversaw the 70,000-person team responsible for recruiting, educating and training the branch’s workforce.

Lamar Roach Sr., Lamar ’60 , held several roles at Texas Eta and his home chapter of Texas Epsilon, including treasurer and chapter counselor. He also supported the national Fraternity as a member of the Board of Governors and established an endowment to provide scholarships in honor of alumni who made significant contributions to the Fraternity. In 2001,

Roach was recognized for his service with the Order of the Golden Heart.

After earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in public administration from the University of Kansas, Chuck Anderson, Kansas ’62 , served in the navy and then embarked on a career that saw him serve as city manager of localities in Missouri, Colorado and Texas. He was later appointed executive director of Dallas Area Rapid Transit. Anderson led the team that designed and constructed the system. To this day, it is considered one of the country’s most effective transit systems. In 1985, Anderson was awarded the SigEp Citation in recognition of his professional accomplishments.

During his 43-year career with General Motors, Don Hudler, Ohio Wesleyan ’56 , oversaw marketing initiatives in the U.S. and abroad. He played a major role in the development, launch and day-to-day operations of GM’s Saturn subsidiary. He’s credited with making customer service the centerpiece of the new company’s brand and creating its no-haggle pricing concept. In 1999, Hudler was awarded the SigEp Citation and later served as a trustee of the SigEp Educational Foundation.

More than a faculty advisor, Father William Fulco, Loyola Marymount Renaissance , was fully invested in mentoring undergraduate brothers and attended nearly every chapter and executive board meeting. Despite his full schedule as a world-renowned professor, archeologist and linguist, Fulco generously gave his time to California Chi and its learning community. He designed a course, entitled Finding the Giant Within, to help brothers learn to overcome obstacles and see their unrealized potential. He was recognized with the SigEp Citation in 2011.

Red Door

Live & Learn Georgia

SigEp’s chapter homes are more than just a place for our undergraduate brothers to stay while attending college. They are where brothers spend the majority of their time outside of class, studying and socializing with other brothers. They are also an extension of the classroom, providing spaces where brothers can engage in conversations with each other, participate in courses taught by faculty fellows, or host programming with university leaders and other organizations. The chapters highlighted here excel at utilizing their facilities to take advantage of all they have to offer.

SIGEP LEARNING COMMUNITY ACCREDITATION: May 2, 2022

MANPOWER: 136

PROGRAMMING: Large and small study groups, money management and financial literacy sessions, and guest speakers.

FACILITY FEATURES: The facility now boasts a leadership development room that is used for small and medium-sized groups to have more casual meetings. There is also a computer lab, a library consisting of two large conference tables for individual and group studying, and a large group study room used for group projects and presentations, as well as numerous individual study spaces throughout the house. The chapter’s new SLC spaces were completed in the fall of 2021.

A Fraternity tradition since 1928, the red door is a symbol of supportive environments where scholarship, brotherhood and unique development opportunities thrive. The homes highlighted here provide ideal facilities for our brothers to succeed.

BEST ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED?

“Nothing’s impossible.”

You’ve already achieved so much. Why go to space?

It was the challenge and the opportunity. But along with that comes the responsibilities to do it right and train to the professional standards of astronauts so there can be future missions. The 10 months of training were much more difficult than I thought it would be. Getting through it required a lot of perseverance, dedication and hard work.

Did the experience live up to your expectations?

It’s difficult to have expectations when you have no frame of reference. I’d say the most memorable moment was probably the reentry. You’re literally in a capsule

A Q&A with a brother who embodies the spirit of arête — the pursuit of excellence in all things

Connor is known as an entrepreneur, most notably as founder of The Connor Group, the Dayton, Ohio-based real estate investment firm he started 30 years ago. He’s also a nonprofit activist investor who recently launched an innovative private school for underresourced students.

But he could also fittingly be described as an “avid adventurist.” In his free time, Connor might be found at a race track with his Trophy Truck Spec team, climbing some of the world’s highest mountains, exploring the deepest parts of the world’s oceans or rafting down some of the swiftest rivers. Or in space: In 2022, he completed a 17-day mission to the International Space Station as the first-ever private citizen to pilot a spacecraft to the station on Axiom Mission 1.

The Journal spoke with Connor about the mission and how the Fraternity prepared him professionally.

on fire falling out of the sky. That was the most exciting part of the whole mission. The time on the ISS was also extraordinary. Floating in zero-G, working there, sleeping there, the views of Earth. We also had great interactions with the NASA Crew-3 astronauts and the Russian cosmonauts.

Did any lessons from your experience as chapter president during college carry over to your career?

Yes. I learned any time you’re in a leadership role, you’re going to get some things right and some things wrong. The key is understanding that the things you do wrong — the mistakes, the failures — can all be great teaching tools. But you’ve got to identify the problem, own it and commit to making changes.

Are you in touch with any of your chapter brothers?

There’s a group of us who have stayed connected. And I had the good fortune in 2018 or 2019 to go down and reconnect with around 15 brothers. Four or five brothers showed up for our launch.

What’s next? Or, have you finally done it all?

I have plans to do a highaltitude jump above 35,000 feet with Operator Solutions, a group of former U.S. Air Force pararescue jumpers. We're partnering with the Special Operations Warrior Foundation to raise awareness and funds for their work. And there are a couple of other ideas in the hopper.
