Indiana Alpha Chapter has had an outstanding spring semester, and I’m excited to bring you up to speed on all we’ve accomplished. We welcomed 13 new members into our brotherhood this spring. These new men are already integrating into chapter life, volunteering on campus, and embodying SigEp’s core values of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love. We can’t wait to see the leadership and enthusiasm they bring to Indiana Alpha in the semesters ahead.
Academically, our chapter remains second to none. We once again achieved the highest cumulative GPA in the Interfraternity Council. This success reflects not only the individual dedication of our brothers but also the supportive study environment we foster—regular study groups, peer mentorship, and accountability partners who keep each other on track throughout the term. Our commitment to scholarship continues to be a defining pillar of chapter life.
Philanthropy was front and center this spring as we are wrapping up our first dedicated Philanthropy Week, raising over $2,000 for the JED Foundation. Brothers organized tabling events, small fundraisers around campus, and large events at the house to support JED’s vital work in mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Seeing our brotherhood unite behind such an important cause was inspiring, and we look forward to growing this tradition. We also strengthened our campus presence by hosting a joint philanthropy event with Kappa Kappa Gamma. Working alongside the sisters, we raised additional funds and increased awareness for community needs, while building new friendships and enhancing our chapter’s reputation for positive collaboration across Greek life.
This semester marked the debut of our first “Mom’s Day”, where mothers of our undergraduate members were invited to the chapter house for an afternoon of fellowship. Attendees enjoyed refreshments, met their son’s chapter brothers, and got a firsthand look at the home-away-from-home we’ve created on Waldron Street. The event was a heartfelt opportunity to recognize the families whose support makes our success possible.
Looking ahead to Grand Prix weekend, Indiana Alpha will host two social functions designed to showcase our chapter’s spirit and hospitality. With planning already underway and positive feedback from undergraduates, we anticipate a fantastic turnout highlighting the best of Purdue tradition.
At the FSCL Awards Banquet, we were honored with the Laurie Roselle Catalyst Award. Recognizing our chapter for precipitating positive change through courage and careful planning, without seeking recognition in return. Our name will be engraved in the FSCL office alongside the legacy of Laurie Roselle, a testament to the standard of excellence we strive to uphold in every aspect of chapter life.
Finally, we capped the semester with our Charter Banquet in the Purdue Memorial Ballrooms. More than 100 alumni, undergraduates, and chapter advisors gathered for a formal dinner, remarks from chapter leadership, and a special tribute to those who helped reignite Indiana Alpha. It was a wonderful evening of celebration and reflection—an occasion that cements how far we’ve come and the bright future ahead.
