VOICE OF THE ESA we are currently beta testing the new program at approximately 30 chapters. It is an exciting evolution of our chapter-based programs that replaces the existing True Gentleman Experience with lessons, coursework, and discussion topics. It includes rewards and recognition “accolades” which are more relevant to today’s college student. It is hard to believe that the Levere Memorial Temple turns 90 years old this year. The dream of Billy Levere and the efforts of Judge Alfred Nippert culminated in a building that has become an icon for Sigma Alpha Epsilon since it was completed in 1930. The Fraternity will be hosting an anniversary event celebrating the 90th year of our headquarters on June 12-14, 2020. Attendees will have an opportunity to see rarely exhibited artifacts of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, including seldom heard audio recordings of John O. Moseley, Judge Alfred Nippert, and Harry Bunting. They will also receive commemorative medallions, replicas from the original dedication. Finally, I would like to introduce you to our new Province Archons: Province Alpha Archon Taylor Doyle (Rhode Island, ‘14), Province Mu Archon Roger Gallego (UC-Riverside ‘91), Province Delta Archon Vincent Dangerfield (Kent State ‘13), Province Eta Archon Travis Tafoya (Colorado-Colorado Springs ‘16), and Province Epsilon Alpha Archon John King (Georgia Tech ‘78). The Supreme Council thanks these brothers for stepping up to lead their Provinces, as well as the many other undergraduates and alumni brothers who give of their talents and time to help young men reach their potential and become True Gentlemen. We look forward to working with all brothers of the Realm as we take strides in advancing Sigma Alpha Epsilon as a leading Greekletter organization. Rise Above,
As we begin a new year and a new decade, exciting things are happening in Sigma Alpha Epsilon. One of the main priorities of this biennium is the expansion to Phoenix chapters, new universities, and within our current active chapter ranks. There are currently eleven colonies and we are pleased to announce colonization has been approved by the Supreme Council at University of California - Long Beach, Clemson University, Iowa State University, Montana State University, New Mexico University, Pennsylvania State University, and York College. At least eight other institutions are being explored, with the ultimate goal of 15,000 sustained undergraduate members. We pursue expansions that put our new groups in a position to be successful through outstanding alumni support and strong university partnerships. Building cohesive groups to lay the infrastructure for a new chapter and organic growth is vital to the success of our undergraduate groups. The Fraternity has been updating the education curriculum over the past two years, and we are excited to tell the Realm that 4

CELEBRATE 90 YEARS OF THE LEVERE MEMORIAL TEMPLE Billy Levere had a dream for the Fraternity. Alfred Nippert and many others turned that dream into a reality through the sheer force of their will and talents, creating our beautiful Levere Memorial Temple in Evanston, Illinois. John O. Moseley saw it as a schoolhouse, ensuring SAE would use the Temple for educational purposes for decades to come. Today it stands as our hearth, our reminder of who we must be as brothers. It contains memorials to those who have served our country valiantly. The Tiffany stained glass is legendary. The stories are inspiring. This summer, the Levere Memorial Temple turns 90 years old. Join us to celebrate this milestone on June 12-13, 2020, in Evanston. Attendees will have an opportunity to see rarely exhibited artifacts of Sigma AlphaEpsilon, including seldom heard audio recordings of John O. Moseley, Judge Alfred Nippert, and Harry Bunting.

ROBERT T. GAMMILL (A R K A N SA S ‘ 75) D SA # 142
Brother Gammill is often described as a quiet man who leads through listening and humility and, in the face of any obstacle, remains calm, confident, and solution-oriented. Following a successful business career, he reinvolved himself in 1999 as CEO of the Arkansas AlphaUpsilon House Corporation, principal advisor to the chapter, and a leader of the Arkansas Area Alumni Association. Under his vision to modernize the chapter house, Gammill led both the 2003-2004 and the 2017-2018 renovation efforts. He has mentored and guided 20 years’ worth of chapter leaders, teaching them to do the right thing without ever raising his voice, and always with a smile — a man who truly epitomizes the True Gentleman’s teaching of “whose self-control is equal to all emergencies.” For this, the Supreme Council bestowed Brother Gammill with the 142nd Distinguished Service Award.
DICK F. THOMPSON (OREGON STATE ‘73) DSA #143
Anyone who knows Brother Thompson knows his loyalty extends beyond tangible forms and reflects in the actions he takes and causes he supports. After leading the chapter as Eminent Archon, he immediately became involved with the Oregon Alpha Alumni Association, most notably serving as the President for the past 40 years. However, his loyalty extends beyond SAE. Thompson was with the same company for over 25 years and still volunteers his time to the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis, the Benton County Foundation, the Center for Nonprofit Stewardship, and the Corvallis Rotary Club. Over the past 50 years, he has consistently shown unwavering devotion not only to the Fraternity but in all facets of life. There is no better judgment of loyalty than the time given back to a cause. For this, the Supreme Council bestowed Brother Thompson with the 143rd Distinguished Service Award.
RICHARD P. MCCULLY ( M E M PH I S ‘6 5) D SA # 14 4
Brother McCully’s lifetime is defined by one word: service. Even before enrolling in college and becoming a member, he answered the call to service with active duty in the United States military. While many members grow distant from the Fraternity as the years pass, McCully steered the opposite direction and dove headfirst into volunteerism. He held many positions for both Province Epsilon and Province Epsilon-Alpha, was instrumental in reviving the University of North Georgia chapter, and continues to serve at the Vice-Chairman of the Greater Atlanta Alumni Association. Although this award honors commitment to the Fraternity, McCully’s character truly shines in his professional career. Twenty-four years as a United States Administrative Law Judge is an incredible accomplishment. He has given a remarkable amount of time not only to our beloved Fraternity but to every community he touched. For this, the Supreme Council bestowed Brother McCully with the 144th Distinguished Service Award.
WILLIAM D. FARR (O K L A H O M A S TAT E ‘6 9) D SA # 14 5
Brother Farr has been the exemplary member when it comes to ensuring that future generations of SAEs will have the best opportunities. His impact on SAE was immediate, establishing an award-winning culture as Eminent Archon that garnered the chapter its first John O. Moseley Zeal Award. Following graduation, Farr continued to push Oklahoma Mu to excellence by creating an in-house mentoring and accountability program that is still implemented today. For these efforts, SAE Financial & Housing Corporation awarded him the Cornerstone Award in 2016. Farr also served nationally on several committees and for Province Sigma, for which SAE awarded him the Order of the Lion, Order of Minerva, and the Merit Key Award. He has shown a never-ending dedication and leadership in all facets of life, including over 50 years of continuous service to the Fraternity. For this, the Supreme Council bestowed Brother Farr with the 145th Distinguished Service Award.

“ ONE OF THE MOST PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY CHALLENGING THINGS I’VE EVER ACCOMPLISHED.” -KEITH WOSNESKI 10
MOUNT KILIMANJARO Over the summer of 2019, Beyond Adventures offered Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s undergraduate and alumni members, including family members, an opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Consistent with SAE’s vision of True Gentleman making our global community better, participants volunteered at a local school in a remote Tanzanian village before the climb. It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to leave the familiar and embrace life outside the comfort zone, all in the company of fellow SAE brothers.
Tyler Stokesbary is often asked why why Evanston, the article below explains...
WHY EVANSTON? I am often asked by both brothers and visitors as they gaze upon the Tiffany Stained Glass in the foyer of the Levere Memorial Temple, “Why Evanston? Why not Alabama?” During a harsh Chicago winter, I often ask myself the same question. One hundred years ago, as of January 17th, 2020, the United States officially became dry as per the 18th amendment, which was ratified a year earlier on January 16th, 1919. Decades earlier in 1872, William C. Levere was born in New Haven, Connecticut, where he became interested in the temperance movement and debating. At the young age of 14, he was already widely known for his oratory on the prohibition of alcohol. Frances E. Willard, a leader of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union located in Evanston, Illinois, invited Billy Levere to come to Evanston for his higher education. In exchange for speaking engagements on temperance, she would help him earn his
way through school. After he entered Northwestern in 1894, the Illinois Psi-Omega chapter was founded, and from that point on, he was a Son of Minerva through and through. Levere abstained from alcohol, tobacco, and other such vices throughout the remainder of his life. His property in Evanston eventually became the grounds of the Levere Memorial Temple, which was built nearly ninety years ago, three years after his death in 1927. This question of “Why Evanston?” is
almost as old as the building itself. In Nippert Hall, Matthias Noheimer depicted the Heinzelmännchen (dwarfs) of Northwestern scoring a touchdown on the University of Alabama due to the location of the headquarters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in Evanston rather than Tuscaloosa. It is anniversaries like these that we remember how intertwined the history of the United States and Sigma Alpha Epsilon are and the possibilities that the future holds for the next brothers of SAE.
FIRST RESPONDERS LUNCH The undergraduate chapter at South Dakota State held a First Responder Lunch with invitations going out to Brookings Police officers, Brookings Fire Fighters, University police officers, and EMT personnel. All were welcomed to the chapter house to enjoy a free, grilled meal. 35 responders with representation from each entity were able to attend. The chapter gave tours through the chapter house and held an impromptu session where members conversed with the first responders about topics related specifically to the chapter. The chapter plans to make this lunch a yearly tradition.

OUR NEXT STEPS FORWARD
THE PHOENIX MEMBER EDUCATION
In 2014, Sigma Alpha Epsilon abolished pledging. With that change came a need for new programming for our members at the chapter level, and the True Gentleman Experience was born. In a no-pledging world, it was a first iteration of welcoming candidates for membership into the organization, providing comprehensive member education, and providing clear expectations of a member so that all members, regardless of year in the chapter, could be held accountable. In early 2017, based on feedback from our members, the Fraternity looked at our educational programs and offerings to determine how our initiatives can help today’s Fraternity man and college student. We evaluated all of our programs, surveyed members, held focus groups, and reviewed scholarly research on today’s college student. With this information in hand, the past two years have been spent developing the replacement of

the True Gentlemen Experience – the new program known as The Phoenix Member Education. The title of The Phoenix Member Education refers to the umbrella of all educational offerings for our members and in previous issues of The Record, we introduced the model you see on this page. Our first and most visible steps were with our in-person educational events. To increase access to our educational programs for our members, the Emerging Leaders Academies were implemented. Our Executives Academy was expanded to provide instruction and training for six critical officers for a chapter and our advisors. Our Ritual Academy moved to the summer to provide a time to refresh and re-engage our members on the key topic of The Ritual before our largest intake period of new members.

In this article, we will focus on the why and the what of the Chapter-based programs (Member Onboarding, Brother-to-Brother Lessons, Accolades). First, let’s start with the why.
12
WHY? In evaluating our chapter-based programs, we learned a lot. Perhaps the most important piece of information was that the type of college student has changed Gen-Z has gone to college. What worked for Millennials wasn’t working so well with Gen-Z. Many other fraternities and sororities have been experiencing similar issues including a lack of connection with the organization and its history, and the why behind the organization (Ritual). With these challenges in mind, the chapter-based programs were developed with several key aims: 1.
Engage with the current generation of college students One of the reasons our programming lost effectiveness had to do with a new generation of college student - Generation Z. To be relevant to them, traditions and lessons needed to be modernized and adapted.If they don’t see the “why”, they are less likely to engage with the topic 2.
Involve all members of the chapter in welcoming brothers who are joining The True Gentleman Experience took steps toward involving every brother of the chapter during member onboarding and education, but The Phoenix Member Education engages brothers on a deeper
SAE • THE RECORD • SPRING 2020
level and ensures the rich history of SAE leaves a lasting impact on all members. 3.
Provide a model for onboarding Candidates for Membership Generation Z wants to know exactly what to do and how to do it. With the Phoenix Member Education, chapters are provided with exact steps to guide them through the process and experience. 4. Recommitting of initiated brothers Initiation is not only for Candidates for Membership, but serves as a reminder to all members about the values and lessons emulated within the ritual. Recommitting serves as a reminder to members that their commitment to SAE extends beyond their first semester. Members of SAE are brothers for life. 5.
Provide opportunities for brothers to earn their membership Lessons of the past help shape decisions of the future. Using SAE’s prominent figures, events, and texts, The Phoenix Member Education provides weekly lessons to all members about what it means to be an SAE and how lessons from the past can help them prepare for the future. 6.
Award, Reward, & Recognize members for their accomplishments and achievements SAEs are leaders on their campuses and in their communities. The 7 Expectations of a Member ask our brothers to Rise
Above, so The Phoenix Member Education allows members to receive awards, rewards, and recognition for their accomplishments and achievements.
WHAT IS IT? The chapter-based Phoenix Member Education Program is an exciting evolution of the True Gentleman Experience. The program is comprised of lessons, coursework, and discussion topics with rewards and recognition which are done in a more relevant manner for today’s college student. Our members told us they want to be provided the steps to complete what is required of them. They want specific instructions, how to do it, with little ambiguity. One of the key pieces of this program is the Facilitator Guide. The comprehensive guide, which will be issued to chapters before the fall, contains instructions and lessons for an entire academic year of lessons. These interactive lessons fall into three main areas:
13
MEMBER EDUCATION Member Onboarding - steps for onboarding members into the chapter (taking place after bid acceptance) as well as activities to engage all brothers to recommit to the values of the Ritual. Brother-to-Brother Lessons - lessons for all brothers in the chapter to take place during chapter meetings, so that the history of the Fraternity can infuse what they learn now and inspire them as they proceed in their career aims and goals. Accolades – a program that rewards, awards and recognizes members and chapter for their achievements, thus reinforcing that has SAE’s, we earn our membership every day through our actions and achievements.
MEMBER ONBOARDING We learned through our surveys and research that our members want to start building the bonds of brotherhood immediately, so the Member Onboarding process does that. Formerly known as “96 Hours” or “Bid to Initiate Phase,” the new onboarding program provides a three-day model with instructions and guides for each day, including meetings that involve the candidates, the chapter member, and the alumni so that everyone can collectively welcome the newest sons of Minerva. The model can be expanded to the full 96 hours permitted in Fraternity Laws or shortened as determined by individual chapters. Our Chapter Development

Team is ready and excited to help coach chapters through what works best for them based on their respective campuses. Through a series of meetings, members and candidates for membership have opportunities to meet with each other, commit and recommit to the ideals of our Ritual, and thoughtfully integrate the candidates into our brotherhood. The culmination is the initiation ceremony, complete witha period of reflection and discussion on the aims and ideals of our Ritual.
BROTHER-TO-BROTHER LESSONS From our research, we learned that today’s college student wants to learn why something is important to know, how it will help them today, and how it will help them long-term in their career. With that in mind, we had to look at how we could teach about Fraternity history, and make it relevant and meaningful - not just something we learn because we are SAEs. Our history is rich with lessons that inspire each of us and our historical figures and what they did can help our members not just now, but as importantly when they graduate and get a job. There are two types of Brother-to-Brother lessons: Fraternal Growth Lessons and Phoenix Lessons.
FRATERNAL GROWTH LESSONS As brothers, we should never stop learning about the Fraternity. To say that we know enough after a brief few weeks
SERVICE (MAR-APR) • • • •

leaves so much to be desired. The Fraternal Growth lessons take our historical figures, locations, and other topics and examines them through the lens of the components of our mission Friendship, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. We have taken the key elements of learning about our organization and put them into four categories. Fraternal Growth lessons are designed to be 10-15 minutes in length, and facilitated during a chapter meeting for ALL members. Today’s members like to learn from each other and don’t appreciate a lecture. These lessons include facilitated overviews of our historical figures or topics, which are then discussed among members so that our older collegians can offer their perspective and insight and our younger members can begin the road to learning more about our history and how it can inspire them to Rise Above. As you can see on the chart, the units are themed throughout the year with recommended times to teach them. Each new quarter of learning will begin with a message from Fraternity Leadership about why the components of the Mission are important. Each week includes a SAE song for members to practice. To keep the program fresh, the Fraternal Growth lessons will be revised each year and the new edition will be released each January in time for Executives Academy. And, for those members who want to

delve deeper in our rich brotherhood, we will have many other resources available to them - The Record Online, The Phoenix, the History of Sigma Alpha Epsilon - just to name a few.
PHOENIX LESSONS The second part of the Brother-toBrother lessons are the Phoenix Lessons. These lessons are also designed for all of the members of a chapter and range from 40-70 minutes in length. There is one of these recommended per month, and they address different areas where a chapter-wide discussion would be beneficial. They are: • Building Brotherhood Through Shared Challenges • Mentoring & Building Relationships • Party Culture SWOT • My Digital Life • The True Gentleman’s Guide to Healthy Relationships • Personal Goal-Setting • Diversity & Inclusion
ACCOLADES We heard from our members, “We want to earn our membership.” In SAE, we never stop earning our membership. Our actions, on a daily basis, help us to continue to earn our place in Sigma Alpha Epsilon. To recognize, reward, and award members, chapters, and colonies for their achievements, we created the Accolades program. Members earn accolades in various categories, and earning the accolade may make them eligible for certain prizes and
SAE • THE RECORD • SPRING 2020
recognition. This part of the chapter-based program will be released in phases. Phase one is designed to be an evolution of some basic expectations which members should be familiar with and should already be achieving. The categories for Phase I of accolades includes the following: 7 Expectations of a Member A member will earn a badge for each of the 7 expectations they complete within the term. • Attend 85% of Chapter Meetings • Attend 75% of Ritual Events • Complete your Educational Requirements • Pay all your bills or be on a payment plan • Complete 20 hours of community service annually • Join at least one other organization on campus or in the community • 2.5 or better GPA Brother-to-Brother Education Brothers earn badges for actively participating in the lessons facilitated by the chapter True Gentleman Recitation Every member should be able to recite the True Gentleman, and we want to recognize those that do! Each semester, members will be able to demonstrate their ability to recite the True Gentleman and be recognized for it.
Graduation from Fraternity Events For those that earn these badges, there will be competitions and drawings for brothers to win prizes such as gift cards and SAE memorabilia like jeweled badges, posters, and much more. Future iterations of accolades will expand on the recognitions available. Within the next year or so, accolades will expand to the chapter level to allow a true competition among chapters for achievements and recognition. This is just a preview of the many things that are coming soon for the Phoenix Member Education.
OUR PILOT PROGRAM Currently the Phoenix Member Education Chapter-based programming is being piloted by about 30 groups from around the country. They are actively providing feedback and suggestions for improvement. The facilitator guide for The Phoenix Member Education will be provided to our chapters this summer. Prior to that time, they will receive a “quickstart” guide to prepare them for the lessons they will be provided in the fall.
TIMELINE There will be more to come on this in the coming months, but we are thrilled with this evolution of our education and look forward to how it will improve the experiences of all members. ◆

NATIONAL AMBASSADORS Once upon a time, national ambassadors were selected for one national program at a time. As the number of programs grew, the manner in which national ambassadors served needed to be evaluated. Entering its second year in this form, the National Ambassador P rogram consists of undergraduate brothers from across the realm who help to support the operations of our educational programs and events. These young men also serve on the front lines contacting chapters to encourage their registration for programs. When not supporting recruiting and attendance efforts, these brothers participate in monthly webcam calls to discuss and learn from each other, and discuss current fraternal topics. Each month ambassadors also discuss a chapter from a book, this year’s is “The Disney Way: Harnessing the Management Secrets of Disney in Your Company” by Bill Capdagli and Lynn Jackson. In discussing this book, they are exploring ways in which the techniques of this successful company can be applied in their life and in their chapter. Three of our ambassadors detailed their experiences at the program below.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE A NATIONAL AMBASSADOR? “I had a chapter brother who was an ambassador, and through his experience I saw in him a greater appreciation for the fraternity nationally and a deeper connection with the principles that bind us together. I joined the program with hopes to receive the same experience so that I could grow in the same way and bring that fire back to my chapter.” - Brady Levron “I wanted the opportunity to meet more brothers from across the realm as well as get to see how the logistical side of how our academies work.” - Shawn Rosenbery “I wanted to become a National Ambassador because I didn’t hold a position in my chapter and I still wanted to make an impact in a leadership position.” - John Herold “I wanted to be a National Ambassador because of the opportunity to help grow the fraternity as a whole. Being able to help put on national events and help teach brothers is something that I’ve always aimed to do, and that opportunity is afforded by being a National Ambassador.” -Ethan Naquin
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO MOST ABOUT BEING A NATIONAL AMBASSADOR? “I look forward most to meeting brothers from around the realm. It’s always so cool to know people from all over the country and keep up with them. It’s also neat to talk about what our chapters do the same/different.” - Ethan Naquin “What I look forward to the most about being an ambassador is getting to meet and build connections with brothers from all around the country.” - Josh Murillo “When being an ambassador, the one thing I look forward to the most. Is when it’s program weekend and getting prepared for the event and welcoming all of the brothers that will be coming to that program and getting to network with them.” - Jamil Tharp “The ability to meet so many new brothers both undergrad and alumni. Coming from a chapter of 30 it’s very interesting to see how big the realm really is.” - Shawn Rosenbery
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY IN SAE SO FAR? “No doubt my favorite memory was walking into Levere Memorial Temple for the first time. Just admiring the history of it alone is something that every ΣΑΕ should be able to experience!” - Ethan Naquin My favorite memory in SAE so far was when I got elected to be the Illinois Sigma-Sigma Chapter’s next Eminent Archon.” - Josh Murill ““My favorite memory with SAE was my initiation, and it was then I knew I had made the right choice to become a SAE.” -Oscar Berlanga “I think our Paddy Murphy week last year has to be the highlight of my SAE career so far. We were able to celebrate the legacy of our past brothers while still raising a bunch of money to help with our philanthropy this semester.” - Shawn Rosenbery
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL & SAE? “Outside of SAE I am involved on William May’s campus as a Historic Campus docent and a member of the International Relations Club/Model United Nations program.” - Oscar Berlanga “When I have a little bit of free time, I enjoy swimming laps in the pool or running. When I’m not doing that and want to relax, I typically like reading a book.” - Brady Levron “I always like to keep myself busy and moving outside of SAE and school. So I’m a manager for a 4 star restaurant. I’m a videographer for special events and then getting to network and meet with different people when traveling. Once I have completed my undergraduate degree. I’ll be going to pilot school to be a commercial airline pilot.” - Jamil Tharp “Outside of school, I enjoy playing saxophone. Music has always been an avenue for me to destress and disconnect.” - Ethan Naquin
AMBASSADORS ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN ACCOLADES AND OTHER PRIZES FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A NATIONAL AMBASSADOR, PLEASE CONTACT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT EDUCATION@SAE.NET. SAE • THE RECORD • SPRING 2020

BUILDING OUR FRATERNITY ON A STRONGER FOUNDATION
By Will Grimsely (Davidson ‘80)
“THE FRATERNITY BELONGS TO YOU. FROM THE DAY YOU JOINED IT YOU FELT PECULIARLY IT WAS YOUR OWN… YOU WOULD FEEL LIKE STRIKING ANY ONE IN THE FACE THAT SAID YOU OR ANY OTHER SAE DID NOT FAVOR THE ERECTION OF A LASTING MONUMENT TO THE SACRED SAES WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR. YOU AND I ARE PROUDER OF THEM THAN WE ARE OF EVEN THE MEN OF FAME WHOSE NAMES ADORN OUR SCROLLS.” - WILLIAM C. LEVERE The quotation above from the February 1922 edition of the Phi Alpha is part of an open letter Billy Levere wrote “to the membership of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity” entitled “Plain Words to Honest Men.” In the letter, Levere called out the membership for their general lack of enthusiasm in supporting the newly created Endowment in 1921, its first year of existence. The Endowment’s purpose was not only to provide for the memorial to SAE men killed during World War I, but also to help chapters get adequate housing on their host campuses, to provide housing for young alumni in major cities throughout the country, to provide scholarships and education opportunities for our members, and for “the innumerable other plans that the best wisdom of the fraternity will devise which will make SAE a strong, noble organization with a social consciousness.” This vision is the basis of the current SAE Foundation.
FOUNDATION HISTORY Reflecting back on the prescient wisdom of our leaders in the years immediately following World War I should cause any SAE to become awestruck at their vision and accomplishments. Levere returned to Evanston after his time in France, resuming his duties as Eminent Supreme Recorder, and began the consolidation of business operations for the growing Fraternity. The 1920 St Louis convention approved his concept of a memorial and national headquarters in Evanston, and Levere procured the land on Sheridan Road that would eventually host it. As the decade progressed, funds continued to trickle in with enough strength to warrant the development of plans for the building. Levere died in 1927, leaving a huge legacy of service and devotion to SAE along with an unrestricted gift of $25,000 to the Endowment that today would be equal to almost $370,000. The Supreme Council approved placing the entire amount into a fund for the envisioned memorial—this fund formed the corpus of the Levere Memorial Temple Foundation incorporated in 1927. This year, 2020, brings with it the 90th anniversary of the dedication and opening of the Levere Memorial Temple, a physical structure that represents of the strength, beauty, and resilience of our Fraternity and its

men. While the building itself exemplifies the very definition of iconic, and fits so perfectly the vision of Levere in honoring our traditions and history, the underlying purpose of the Temple really was—and is—all about focusing attention on our men. In fact, the Levere Memorial Temple Foundation changed its name to be the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation to reflect its broader purpose and scope of philanthropic support to all aspects of the Fraternity.
A FOUNDATION ON WHICH TO BUILD The word “foundation” and its definition are fitting: a hard surface on which buildings or structures rest, an idea or principle that provide the basis of beliefs and actions, or an organization which supports others through the building of philanthropic and volunteer support. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation strives to meet the prescription of each of these points. Every action and program of the Foundation today focuses its efforts on the mission “to advance Sigma Alpha Epsilon and its members through the highest levels of philanthropic support.” Doing this means that your Foundation nests its aims and objectives with those of the Fraternity in order to achieve unity of effort toward the greater good.

Meeting its obligations and accomplishing its mission challenges the Foundation daily. In its 90th anniversary year, our Levere Memorial Temple remains strong and proud. Each year the endowment supports thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards to our men. The Foundation manages funds for chapter education grants to members for regional and national education programs, with local scholarships continuing to thrive. Numerous local chapter housing campaign funds are building and maintaining world-class housing for their men. Numerous initiatives for preserving and better displaying our strong history have begun with many more planned for the future. In summary, the basis on which our building is built is strong, our ideas and principles are guided by those high ideals of our Fraternity, and the organization remains committed to sustaining and growing into the future. Thanks to our great leadership, a strong market, wise investment policy, and the enduring loyalty of our donor base, the SAE Foundation is meeting its obligations to the Fraternity while increasing the overall value of the endowment over $16 million. This amount does not include the value of Levere Memorial Temple or historical artifacts, but does include cash flow out to fund much of the 2012 renovation efforts of the

building. Managed funds have enjoyed a full 5% spending rate to support our men for the past several years. Attendance at the national level leader development programs such as Emerging Leader Academies, Executives Academy, and the Ritual Academy continues to grow with many delegates attending on some level of support from either a chapter education fund or a national level scholarship award. In 2016 the Foundation partnered with HistoryIT to begin a project of fully digitizing and preserving our archives and history into perpetuity. Continuing on that path, for our 164th Founders Day and 90th anniversary of the Levere Memorial Temple, HistoryIT has digitally archived the famous Tiffany window “cartoon” drawing; priceless art in their own right. http://sae.historyit.com/tiffany. All of these initiatives, however, come at a cost. The Foundation maintains a small, lean, dedicated staff with a weather eye on expenses and a goal to always seek more for our men. This predicates reliance on donors, largely from within our membership. In the same 1922 “Plain Words to Honest Men” letter, Billy Levere questioned why only “about 1 out of 25” of
the then 20,000 SAE members supported the Endowment. Today, almost 100 years later, the same question prevails, although the same number is about “1 out of 50” of the over 206,000 living alumni, or roughly 4,000 donors annually. Many of our most consistent donors understandably choose to focus their philanthropy on chapter level campaigns such as education or housing funds. While those gifts are very important to one chapter, they do not contribute to the overall aims and objectives of the Foundation to “advance Sigma Alpha Epsilon and its members to the highest levels of philanthropic support” at the national level.
however, remains the foundational principles of Sigma Alpha Epsilon; the common bond of our Ritual, Oath, and Creed; and the prevailing and necessary focus on the development of our men. The 90th anniversary of the Levere Memorial Temple dedication in 2020 provides us each an opportunity to again reflect on the points from which we have come. And, just as our wise predecessors envisioned in 1930, we now have a similar opportunity moving forward. Let’s celebrate 90 years of the Levere Memorial Temple and all that it represents in 2020, with a kick-off of a decade of growth for the Foundation until the centennial celebration in 2030.
WITH AN EYE ON 2030
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
There is something to be said for the adage that, “the more things change, the more they often stay the same.” Many things in our lives change—graduation, new jobs, families, health, life focus, and much more. Change is also constant within SAE as campus environments morph, challenges arise, and the perspective of both collegiate and alumni members evolve. Underneath all of this change and what has “stayed the same,”

We need to add at least 2% growth in alumni giving to the Annual Loyalty Fund each year—by 2030 that equals over 25,000 individual donors. Meet or exceed a $1 million goal of unrestricted giving to Annual Loyalty Fund each year from 2020-2030. Increase the overall Foundation endowment to $30 million by 2030. Increase contributions to the capital reserve accounts for the Levere Memorial Temple by at least 10% annually to reach $2 million by 2030. Fully fund the complete digital preservation and modernize the physical capacity of our archives and artifacts collection.
Billy Levere challenged our men in 1921, and then provided the example for others to emulate through his own leadership and philanthropy. Let’s build on that foundation, that basis of strength, that supports growth to new heights. Each of us has that opportunity right now to do the same. ◆

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM RECAP Beginning in Fall 2019, the Fraternity continued its initiative of regionally-based educational programs known as Emerging Leaders Academies. These programs aim to offer low-cost leadership development to our members near their home chapters. In late September the Inaugural Eastern Emerging Leaders Academy was held in Washington, D.C., while a week later the Inaugural Western Emerging Leaders Academy was held in San Diego, CA. Sigma Alpha Epsilon rang in 2020 in Phoenix, AZ with the Executives Academy. This program was expanded this year to include the Eminent Deputy Archon, Member Educator and Eminent Treasurer in addition to the Eminent Archon, Advisor, Recruitment Chairman, and Health-and-Safety Chairman.
WESTERN EMRGING LEADERS ACADEMY Attending the 2019 Western Emerging Leaders Academy in San Diego, California was more than just a weekend away from home in a different city and surrounded by brothers. It was a turning point for young leaders all around the realm. Before even walking into the first general session, you feel a sense of brotherhood being greeted by National Ambassadors and staff members. As we were welcomed into the first general session, we were introduced to the fast-paced weekend ahead from general sessions to keynote speakers to small groups. Proceeding the opening ceremony, we then discovered the expo would be more than just purchasing items from vendors but rather we were able to take professional headshots, thank alumni for their continuous donations to the foundation as well as perfect our resumes. Following the expo, we then attended an etiquette dinner where area alumni and staff members sat amongst the attendees where we could ask questions and network throughout dinner. As dinner ended, we headed into the ballroom room where mocktails were served. During mocktails, we were broken
24
up into groups that sparked interest to us where faculty members facilitated the discussions of various topics both SAE related and life in general. The first night concluded with our first bold conversation small group of the weekend. We discussed the skills it took to properly debate a topic but also how to listen and deal with opposition. We would come to learn shortly, that each small group— the bold conversations and active listening—built upon one another for the “final debate.” Saturday morning started with our keynote speaker Darryl Bellamy Jr., where we faced our fears to succeed in life. Through his keynote, we wrote whatever it was we feared, and toward the end of the keynote, we tossed our fear into the “fire” as a symbol of overcoming and standing out without having the burden of our fear holding us back. As the morning wrapped up we went to more small groups but one small group in particular was different. Faculty and staff from the LMT sat down and explained to us how they made it to where
they are in life, the obstacles they overcame and how SAE has grown and changed over the years. This was the session we were able to ask those crucial questions we all wanted to have answers for. As the program came to a close, we were left with the skills we learned, the brothers we’ve met, and overall appreciation to those who led this weekend. At the conclusion of the Emerging Leaders Academy, we all gathered with shoulder firm to shoulder with the singing of “Friends”. As a reflection of the weekend, the most memorable elements of the weekend were those small group discussions, the singing of songs, and overall morale of all those present. The weekend was more than just another SAE educational program but a weekend of skill building, networking, and brotherhood. -Keilan Kiger
IT WAS A TURNING POINT FOR YOUNG MEN AROUND THE REALM
EASTERN EMERGING LEADERS ACADEMY The inaugural Eastern Emerging Leaders Academy in Washington, D.C., was filled with a multitude of learning experiences. Facilitators and teachers traveled from various parts of the country to teach the values and virtues of our noble brotherhood. Participants were educated on how to present themselves (via the True Gentleman), resume building, and career tips and advice. Following the professional development block, attendees participated in an etiquette dinner and mocktail networking, essential parts of being a stronger communicator, and an active listener—critical components of being a True Gentleman. The most useful session, in my opinion, was Bold Conversations, which revolved around confrontation strategy, even with the most sensitive of issues. Having the ability to hold sensitive discussions positively impacts the chapter, and future opportunities as a leader. My favorite part of the event was an excursion to the Skydome atop the hotel
property. It was a unique experience for all alumni and undergraduates in attendance. After forming deep connections with brothers all weekend, then sharing our final evening together, it was a wonderful way to end the program. We all shared one last story, one last moment together, before departing in the morning. It was a
truly memorable experience, one that I would definitely take the chance to do again. If there is one thing any brother, alumni, or undergraduate, should experience at least once, it is the Emerging Leaders Academy. - Matthew Cole
Assessment to analyze their interests and stress behaviors to assist with navigating a chapter with different personality types. The staff also introduced the new Phoenix Member Education program, the updated member onboarding experience, that will be launching soon. The program ended with a session on legacy that explored how chapter accomplishments as a leader can be applied to real-life scenarios, setting up the future leaders for success well past college—to truly “Rise Above.” During the closing dinner, Scott Slechta (Simpson
’80) and Cody Dunlap (Western Carolina ’15) were awarded the Order of the Lion, which recognizes outstanding commitment and loyalty to the Fraternity by an alumnus. Overall, the 2020 Executives Academy could not have been as successful without the help of our outstanding facilitators. Thank you to all who were involved in making this event a success. -Ethan Naquin
EXECUTIVES ACADEMY This year at Executives Academy, brothers from around the Realm were challenged to “Rise Above” and arm themselves with the necessary tools for success in leading their chapter. In addition to informational sessions and networking, participants had the opportunity to listen to industry-leading professionals speak on pertinent topics. Dr. Lori Hart showcased how a healthier fraternity environment builds better men and better leaders—our communities won’t improve until we engage in higher expectations of our membership. Officer tracks were explicitly created for each separate officer: Eminent Archons, Eminent Deputy Archons, Member Educators, Recruitment Chairmen, Health and Safety Chairmen, Eminent Treasurers, and Alumni Advisors. The entire weekend curated the officers to increase self-awareness and gain leadership skills for life post-graduation. Attendees also completed a Birkman
WHY I VOLUNTEER some of my best friends from this organization as an undergraduate, and I want the organization to be there for others to experience. As an educator, I’ve seen former students join this organization and share the same affinity for it as I did. What has been your biggest accomplishment in your role as a volunteer? Creating an active and engaged province executive team, seeing my home chapter celebrate 30 years as a brotherhood, assisting with our NYC welcome event for brothers new to the area.
JOHN SEBALOS
Chapter SUNY-Oswego (New York Zeta) Volunteer Role Province Nu Archon Previous Volunteer Roles Held NJIT Colony Advisor, NY Zeta Alumni Association President How long have you volunteered for SAE? I have been a volunteer with SAE since I graduated in 2005. I was the NY Zeta Alumni Association president for a year and have been on the Province Nu Council from 2005-2014 as the treasurer. I became the Deputy Archon in 2014 and appointed Province Archon in 2015. Why do you volunteer for SAE? I volunteer for SAE because I saw the benefits it had for me as an undergraduate. I’ve met 26
What has been your biggest struggle in your role as a volunteer? In NYC in particular it has been hard to have consistent attendance to events and involvement. With the largest city in the US, time never stops and it’s difficult to get brothers to find time to get together. We are getting together as an executive team along with the current president and past president of the association to see how we can look into “rebranding” and changing the way we coordinate events. What has helped you the most as a volunteer? The amount of support other PA’s and members of the SC have given me as I have grown in my volunteer role. Over the past 4 years, I took over the role as a Province Archon and the support that these members have provided me has been
tremendous. I also have a super supportive wife who understands that this is a passion of mine and she supports all of the work that I do for the organization. What do you think is in the future for SAE? I think SAE and Greek life in general is at a very unique time in our existence. With the negative press Greek life has received over the past 5 years, I feel that we will continue to struggle unless we continue the changes we have begun. I still think there is a small passion for SAE that is partially missing from our undergraduate members, and I think if we can rebuild that passion and desire for the organization; we can be the best Greek organization in the nation.
SERVICE TO OTHERS IS A NOTION WE HOLD IN HIGH ESTEEM. AND AS A MEMBER OF SAE, YOU’RE A MEMBER FOR LIFE. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO VOLUNTEER BEYOND GRADUATION, CONTACT US AT VOLUNTEER@SAE.NET FOR OPPORTUNITIES IN YOUR AREA.

JAMES PAYER II
Chapter University of South Dakota (South Dakota Sigma) Volunteer Role Chapter Advisor Previous Volunteer Roles Held SDSI Alumni Association Chair How long have you volunteered for SAE? Ever since graduating in 2012, I knew I always wanted to offer my time, talents and ideas to better Sigma Alpha Epsilon. I have been fortunate to stay active and involved in several aspects of the House Corporation, the Chapter Collegiate, our Province realm, and South Dakota Sigma’s current capital housing campaign. Why do you volunteer for SAE? I volunteer for SAE to continue the tradition of brotherhood, to help protect the organization, and maintain our long-standing high standards of friendship, scholarship, leadership and service. As the Chapter leadership turns over about every four years, it’s up to the volunteers on keeping these values strong, scholastic scope in mind, and service towards our University, community and those they serve. I truly believe in our ideals, and I want to make an positive impact on the undergraduates who become SAE’s. There is no better training then watching an Eminent Treasurer construct a budget, a Philanthropy & Service
SAE • THE RECORD • SPRING 2020
What has been your biggest accomplishment in your role as a volunteer? My biggest accomplishment to date is being able to help balance our finances and plan for the future. South Dakota Sigma is in a unique situation where we have an operational account, our savings account and a separate 1911 Club account. The 1911 Club is a club specifically created to encourage alumni to donate at least $19.11 back to SAE where the funds will be restricted for a house project, room improvements or maintenance. Coming into my role, I worked directly with the Eminent Archon and the Eminent Treasurer on revamping the entire budget to allocate more effectively and effectively related to positions and committees. We were also able to reconcile our bank accounts to ensure proper financial responsibility and reporting. What has been your biggest struggle in your role as a volunteer? The largest struggle I’ve faced in my volunteer role is communication. In a world that has more communication vehicles than ever before, it appears to be harder to get everyone on the same page. However, the Chapter continues to deliver great communication when appropriate to the needed parties through a variety of e-communications, print media, phone and text services.
breathtaking experiences was selected to be a part of the first The Inner Circle, under the recommendation of then Eminent Supreme Deputy Archon Ken Tracey. Other experiences that continue to guide my advising role is attending national events. Through these courses and seminars, I’ve been educated on the current collegiate pressures on our members and the Fraternity as a whole, as well as changes to our National ByLaws, revamped educational programming and Supreme Council strategic vision. What do you think is in the future for SAE? I believe SAE will continue to play a positive role in the educational fabric on college campuses across our nation. Each of the experiences I have been apart of continue to shape me as a leader, person and civic member of our society. The outcomes I’ve endured were all positive, collaborative and encompassing, I’m optimistic that the changes the Supreme Council continues to make are for the betterment of the entire Realm and improves our heritage of building Brotherhood holistically. If we remain stagnant and unchanged, then we are dying. I hope our Fraternity continues to grow both in membership numbers and in Chapter expansion, which I think we are on the correct trajectory for both. Despite feelings from my other colleagues who joined other Greek affiliations, SAE is truly untouched by our competition. It’s evident in everything we do, an we are beyond a shadow of a doubt relevant to society today.
What has helped you the most as a volunteer? I can positively say my encompassing experiences continue to help me most. I have been extremely fortunate in participating with several amazing opportunities, some of which will continue to shape my professional career beyond my commencement. One of my first

THE SHRINE OF MINERVA
EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is an address by Judge
Alfred K. Nippert (Cincinnati 1894), Past Eminent
Supreme Archon. Nippert served as Chairman of the
Building Committee for the Levere Memorial Temple, and was personally responsible for many if not most of the
details found within the building. This address was given
in the Peace Chapel of the Levere Memorial Temple on
August 25, 1942. Nippert was introduced by G.A. Ginter
(Cincinnati 1897), who was a chapter brother from
Cincinnati, and would later serve as Eminent Supreme Archon. This article has been edited for length and
typographic errors from the original.

HAIRMAN G. A. GINTER: In giving you slogan number 2 of the school the other afternoon, I commented upon the speaker who is going to appear before you this morning. The slogan was: “Nothing is worth the building unless the builder also grows.” I have seen the builder of this Temple grow in spirit, in heart and in fraternal enthusiasm as this great structure took form and shape and came into its present beauty and its present eminence in the Greek letter world until he is, today, the finest example of college fraternity men that I know of in America. You won’t find Judge Nippert’s picture or his name very prominently displayed around this Temple. In fact, you will have to look hard to find any references to the work that he has done, but his beneficence, his enthusiasm not only for this hearthstone of Sigma Alpha Epsilon but also for the Chapter hearthstones as well, known throughout Minerva Land, and if you want to see some reference to him, you can, by searching diligently out here, in the Court of the Archons, find a little line of Latin, translated, means: “If you seek a monument for this man, look about you,” an adaptation of a monument in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London to the architect of that building, Sir Christopher Wren, and that, I think, is very appropriate for the man who has led this great movement to have a mecca for all SAE men and, at the same time, modestly stood in the background. You should be very happy to be here, in the quietness of this magnificent Chapel, to hear, from the lips of Judge Nippert the story of the building of the Chapel. Alfred Nippert. …The audience arose and enthusiastically applauded…

JUDGE ALFRED K. NIPPERT, PAST E.S.A.: I have been a member of this organization for almost a half century and we did have a hard struggle. It just occurred to me that this morning I received a wire from Cincinnati to the effect that one of the founders of Ohio Epsilon, Brother Paul Hendricksdorf who, with Joe Strauss, founded Ohio Epsilon on November 16th, 1889, passed away, yesterday. Brother Ginter, here, knew him very well indeed, and so did all the men of the early days of Ohio Epsilon, and I think he was here last year or two years ago. But, it wasn’t the beautiful Chapter Houses and the Temples and the prominent men of our Alumni, that made us strong and powerful, but it was the devotion of the group of small men, such as Hendricksdorf and Joe Strauss and George Cress and Peters and Albert M. Austin, who will be here in a day or two, that made it possible for this fraternity to grow and grow, so that today, here, on the shores of Lake Michigan, we have a temple, a great fraternity structure, the equal of which cannot be found anywhere in the world. I say that advisedly. I have been around some, and there is nothing like it, either here or in Europe, that can meet the
30
beauty, the historical embellishments, the sweetness, the spirit of your temple. I shall recall Billy Levere one evening in December, 1926, about two months before he died, and Brother Lauren Foreman and I came up from New Orleans where we had been attending a Province Convention, and Billy Levere met our train at Tuscaloosa on his way back to Evanston, and we had, in our possession, the first sketches and plans of this building, and we sat up all night discussing this point and that of the structure; its expenses and where we were going to get the money from and what we were going to put here and there for, after all, it was Billy’s child. He conceived this Temple while stationed on the Western Frontier of France during World War I. It was he who thought and saw the vision of a magnificent Temple such as this on the shores of Lake Michigan, next to the Northwestern Campus. Of course, Billy didn’t live to see the Temple built. It was like unto Moses who stood upon the mountain and the Lord showed him the promised land but he was never permitted to enter it, to see it, to enjoy it, to work with his people within the confines of that great country, and so,
Billy Levere could only see the outlines on paper, the outlines of this Temple, and yet it was his vision, it was his spirit that carried us through to success and to the establishment of this great mecca of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. You know, this Temple could never have been built, even after Billy Levere had given his approval of it, if it hadn’t been for the loyal support of men like Lauren Foreman who, at that time, was Eminent Supreme Archon of your Fraternity, and who stood back of the Building Committee, back of the architect; Brother Arthur Knox of this Chapter, here at Northwestern, and his Supreme Council that, as a rule, supported everything we did by the way of embellishing this structure and extending it and enlarging it. It could never have been built if it hadn’t been for men like Bunting and others who kept up the faith in the rank and file of the Fraternity that this Temple, after all, was the one great thing for which Sigma Alpha Epsilon was striving and carrying out the hopes, the visions of Billy Levere, and for you men to be here, today, and sit here at the feet of Brother John Moseley and listen to his instructions, to his ideals – you are far more favored than those that came
particular window, and we thought it would be proper, when Tiffany (Ecclesiastical Studios) built these windows with the finest artists that the country had, to embody in this Temple, the history of our country, and we go way back to the Native Americans. That is the Native American window up here to my left up in the gallery. Then came the coming of the Vikings in the year 1000, and I consider that window, probably the finest of all the windows in the Chapel, except the Peace Window. You study that window with all its fine points, its historical value. That was in the year 1,000, and four hundred years later or so, came the Spanish Discovery winbefore you. We have grown and gone forward and this Temple is factual evidence of what SAE has accomplished. There are other Fraternities that are fine and noble and part of the great Panhellenic system of which I thoroughly believe in, but I think we have gone just one step ahead of all of them, no matter what they may tell you during “rushing season.” Just remember, this is something very substantial, here, and the spirit of your Fraternity is within these walls, these bricks and stones. To build a church or a lodge or a temple of any sort, the architecture, of course, is impressive, but the very purpose of the organization, the spirit of your fraternity must be embellished in the walls, in the murals, in the archives, in the sculpture, in the sweet organ, in the tuneful charms, in everything that pertains to the fraternal life of your organizations, and with that idea in view, the Building Committee and the Supreme Council started to work and so we have, here, right here in this Chapel, not only the history of your Fraternity embodied in the murals and in the windows, but also the history of the North American Continent. How many of you have studied the windows up in the gallery, here? Every one of these windows has a little inscription – you can scarcely see it – that provides you the history in a few words of that
SAE • THE RECORD • SPRING 2020
“Let us have peace,” and that was the motive of this window, here, the Peace Window. “Pax Vobiscum: isn’t the name of the artist as one old lady thought when she came here. She stood here and said, “That is a very beautiful window but I never heard of that artist before.” Well, that is what Grant said to Lee. “Let us have peace.” And that is what the Lord said to his disciples. It took a long time to think out this window, here, with the Northern and the Southern Armies at rest in the early morning, in the early April of 1865, and the details of that become more impressive as you study the window. You can sit here half an hour and you can see something new in that window. I had a hard time persuading the artist to take the initials of G.A.R. off of the belt buckle of the Confederate soldier, here. You get the significance of that? He thought he had a fine figure. He said, “that he could get the initials in there.” I said, “What have you got?” He said, “See, the letters for Grand Army of the Republic.” I said, “Don’t do that because there will be some Louisiana Tigers through here and they will throw a brick through here,” so I had him take it off.
dow. You will see Columbus up there and the men that followed him in the Spanish conquest of the North and South American continents. Then came the French window with LaSalle and Champlain and the history of the French explorations. Then came the window of the Colonial Period; then the window of the Revolutionary War. After the French exploration window came the Dutch window with Hendrick Hudson. Then, the window of 1812, the window of the Alamo and the Mexican War, and the window of the Civil War.. It is a very beautiful window and the last niche in it shows the surrender of Lee to Grant and Grant’s historical words:

THE SHRINE OF MINERVA
Well, then we come to the windows down here. There are fifty niches, fifty separate windows up here in this gallery and down here. Here we have Noble Leslie DeVotie and the eight founders and over here the touching scene of Lucy Pattie receiving the ritual and the records of SAE from the Grand Chapter (at Kentucky Chi, Kentucky Military Institute) in the year 1861 at the hands of Lieutenant John B. Kent. We see that in the middle, there. He told her not to give that bundle of precious papers to anyone unless that person could give her the grip of SAE and the meaning of the initials, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. She was the only woman that was ever initiated in the Fraternity. Kent was killed a few months later, at the Battle of Murfreesboro. Lucy Pattie (Kentucky Military Institute 1866) lived to be almost ninety years old. She lived in Lexington, Kentucky, and became one of the staunchest supporters of SAE in the country. She certainly deserved a special window in this Chapel. Next to that we have a very interesting window representing some of the high points in the life of Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar (Mississippi 1866). He died while he was Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, but one of 32
those windows shows him before the American Congress pleading for the South and the recall of the Carpetbaggers in 1874. The painting next to that is that of Mr. John G. Carlisle who was one of the Founders of Kentucky Chi prior to the Civil War. He became Speaker of the House, United States Senator of the State of Kentucky and Secretary of the Treasury under Mr. Cleveland, a powerful figure in American life and politics. Over here, on that side, we have a window dedicated to Harold Hill (Ohio Wesleyan 1936), the figure of grief as shown in the Adams Memorial at Rock Creek Cemetary in Washington, D.C. Next to him is the Angel of Michael, the Angel of War and to the other side is Gabriel, the Angel of Peace, and next to that we have a window dedicated to Don Almy (Cornell 1897) and then dedicated to the work of Brother George Kimball (Denver 1895) in organizing or giving the impetus for the Intra-Fraternity Conference, and then we have a little niche in there showing the Olympic Games as it appeared in the early days of Greece. Then they have nine niches, there, the three big windows, and I thought when we put up this building – I had an idea, a dire suspicion that someday we could use those to commemorate the heroes of the second World War and that War is upon us today. When you come back in a few years, or when your sons come back here, they will probably see, in those windows, some of the heroic deeds and some of the sacrifices that some of you boys will be called upon to make within the next year or two. (Editor’s Note: The glass commemorating those heroes that served was installed in 1995). That will complete the series and I know you will fulfill your duties toward your nation the same as Noble Leslie DeVotie, the same as these men whose figures appear up here in the gallery, and this Temple will become holier and holier and more sacred to the people of Sigma Alpha Epsilon as the years roll by. The panes were made by Mr. Mathias Noheimer of Cincinnati and refer, mostly,
to biblical episodes from the Creation to the Crucifixion. You can see for yourselves what they are and I don’t want to take up much time in mentioning them. This altar, here, and these heads that you see suspended, which you see here from which the lamps are suspended, were carved by the son of Anton Lang of Oberammergau; splendid, fine pieces of wood carving, as fine as any that you could find anywhere. These inscriptions on the walls were sent in by Rev. James G. Glass (Sewanee 1880), the last Grand Archon of the Fraternity in the early 80’s, who passed away just a year or two ago. A member of Sewanee and one of the men who carried the mail up the mountains of Tennessee with his brethren of Tennessee Omega Chapter, to gather enough money to build the first Chapter House of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the year 1881, I believe it was. Have you seen that mural downstairs in the Panhellenic Room? How many have seen that? Go and take a look at it, you people who have not seen it. You have got it easy, now. You can get money. The banks will give your credit. Those boys had never had any money or credit in the banks, but they had the willingness to work for something – you have to have the
willingness to work for the Chapter. When you work for something you love, it is a whole lot more than if you get it handed to you on a golden platter. I have had that experience. It comes too easy to the boys of 1940 and ’42, but those men carried the mail during the winter of 1880 and 1881 and the money they received from the Government, they put in that Chapter House up there on the mountains of Tennessee, and it is there today and it is a very magnificent lodge. Nothing wonderful or expensive, but it is their home. It is the first home that SAE ever owned. That was Brother Glass. He gives us these inscriptions and these murals, here. There is the mural: “In Flanders’s Field the poppies grow,” and over here is the answer by Seeger: “I have a rendezvous with Death.” These fine Arabesque murals in the ceiling and in the walls, as well as the fine murals down in the Panhellenic Room which, in my opinion – the fresco part – are the finest that I have seen in the United States and I don’t know whether the artist is here but if he is I want him to stand up. Is Brother Waller here? …Brother Waller, on standing up, was enthusiastically applauded by the audience… JUDGE NIPPERT: This is Brother Waller (Northwestern 1934) who was born in Bavaria and who is going into the army next week, the United States Army and is going to fight for Uncle Sam. I will tell you a story about him. He came here about March 24, 1930 and he worked in this House for ten years. Just ten years doing nothing else but
putting on these murals and these decorations, and I picked him up in New York, and so that he wouldn’t get into the hands of the police or something, I brought him here. It was a beautiful day just like this till we got here to Chicago. When we got here we found eighteen inches of snow on the ground and we had a hard time getting out here. We passed through the streets of Chicago. There was a circus that had been stranded, the Sells Circus, and they used the elephants to push the automobiles and the trucks and the busses out of the road, and he says: “My God, this is an awful funny country.” (Laughter) “They’ve got elephants and eighteen inches of snow pulling the cars out of the road. I hope it don’t get any worse.” Well, it was about as bad a place as I have ever seen at that particular time. Well, just the same he did a fine job, here. All of the paintings out here except the Billy Levere painting were painted by Waller. The murals in the Panhellenic Room and that great piece of art, “The School of Athens,” was painted by him. By the way, when you get up into the Archives, I want you to take a look at that stone ball up there, that cannon ball, you know, made out of stone. That is all done by hand. That came out of Andernach Castle. I picked it up there just four years ago this month and I haven’t any qualms of conscience about it. It is here, anyway. I tried to get it about twenty years ago but the fellow was too much for me, the custodian, but this one was a really fine fellow. (Laughter) You know, we had an initiation up there and Billy Levere was there and the
initiation took place up on top of the tower. The roof had been blown off during the Thirty Year War and Billy Levere had a slab from a flat gravestone for his Altar, and when I went up there and this fellow took me through, the guide did, and he said: “I don’t know. This is very funny and I was never able to explain it, but they have got a gravestone up here in this tower and it doesn’t belong here. Nobody is buried here. The Old Grand Duke is buried down below and the gravestone is here. I can’t figure that out at all.” I said, “Brother, I know how it got here. During the World War there was a lot of boys during the fight over here, and they had to have a table over here for an Altar and they were down in the garden, the courtyard of this Castle, and they pried loose this gravestone and they carried it up here and that is why it is here, and they had the paraphernalia on top of this gravestone and they had the initiation.” He said, “My God, since 1918 and I never knew how it got here. It’s strange. And the American boys put it up here?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “That is wonderful, I never heard that before.” Then he took me down into a dungeon. It looked like a dog house. Just big enough for a man to slip in and sleep in there. He said: “Now, this dungeon had an Archbishop confined here. He said something about the Duke that the
THE SHRINE OF MINERVA Duke didn’t like and he went down here and they put him in this dungeon,” and then I saw this stone that you have got down here. They used to put that in catapults, you know, before the days of powder to defeat the enemy.” I said, “What is that?” He said, “You know, that is one of these old stones for catapults, you know. They used them to defend the Castle.” I said, “Yes. I’d like to have that.” He said, “My goodness, I can’t do that. That belongs to the castle.” I said, “Well, I know, but it has been in this hole, here, for almost a thousand years. I’d like to take it home with me. I’d present it to the boys that had the initiation up there. They’d think it would be wonderful to have that.” He said: “How will you get that out of here?” I said: “Why, get that sack. We will roll it into the sack and then I will take it to America with me.” He said: “Why, that weighs a hundred pounds. You can’t carry that.” I said: “But I’ve got a car out here: a machine, a wagon. (Laughter) “Why,” says he, “you have?” He looked around and there wasn’t anybody that could hear him. “Let’s do it.” We rolled it in the sack and carried it out to the car and put it in the back of my car and that is the way it landed here. When I got to the New York the Customs Officer said, “What have you got there?” What are you doing with a
big rock like that?” “Well,” I said, “you see, I had to get that rock in order to balance the car. I didn’t have anybody with me and it weights…” (Laughter) All right. So that is the way we got it over here. You look at it. It is really worthwhile seeing how these people used to fight their wars. Well, that is the Chapel. Now, when you go down to the Panhellenic Room we have about 68 or 75 crests of the different fraternities in chronological order, beginning with the oldest, Phi Beta Kappa and so on, including some fifteen or twenty sororities in the ceiling with their dates and their crests and so forth. Now, it took more than a year and a half to do that work. You couldn’t just smear that on there like a billboard. That had to be done just right. It had to be mathematically and geometrically correct. It was a tremendous job. In it he almost lost his life. He had a hangnail and he had to lie on his back to do this work and the poison from the dyes on the brush ran down the brush and onto his finger and into his open wound and he got blood poisoning. We got him down here to the hospital and it was the most narrow escape that a man could have. It was a question of whether he had to have his arm taken off in order to save his life and the surgeon didn’t know whether he should cut it off to save his life or maybe save him anyway by the very latest methods of antiseptics. Well, he was there for weeks and finally the arm got better and the work was finished. Those are all things that when you go through this building you don’t realize. Ten years of work on the inside of the building and it only took a year and a half
to put up the building. Then, here, in the entrance hall, we have a beautiful window dedicated to the memory of Billy Levere (Northwestern 1898). William Colin Levere, and that window was the gift of his brother, Brother Fred Levere (Northwestern 1927) of the Northwestern Chapter. He gave us that window; the money for it, anyway, and by the way, the different Provinces and Chapters have paid for all these windows. Paid for them before the building was finished and all the windows upstairs were donated and the organ was donated, so you needn’t think that we spent too much money—your money—in building this Temple. The only thing that you boys contributed, really, was a hundred dollars for these pews in which you are sitting. We gave the Chapters an opportunity to pay for these pews if they wanted to buy one for a hundred dollars and most of you—well, as many of you as were able to do it, did— and we sold these and I think there are about two or three Chapters that haven’t paid. You’d better look into that when you get back home. It has been a long time that they have been using these chairs without paying for them. They all paid something, but they haven’t fully paid up. You ought to go after them. Then, there are many things that were given to us. This pulpit was donated; the andirons were donated and all these fireplaces, and then we get into the library, and there we have the great Greek Letter Fraternity Library, and that was started by Billy Levere, and in it we have the men who helped make the SAE the great Fraternity that it is today. Next we have the office of the Eminent Supreme Recorder. We consider that the
finest office in the City of Chicago. This is where all the work is being done, and I wonder if you people realize what a job it is to be Eminent Supreme Recorder of Sigma Alpha Epsilon; to have to keep in touch with over fifty thousand men, alumni, and three or four thousand undergraduates. It is a tremendous job and it makes me very cross to occasionally hear an undergraduate kick about the ten dollars dues he pays a year in order to belong to this national fraternity. They spend that much on a girl in one night, taking her to a show or a party or something of that sort. Ten dollars a year. That is all you pay (Editor’s note: $10 in 1942 is the equivalent of $158.26 today). Then, all the windows in the library and in the room upstairs have the crests of the different Chapters and the year of their founding, starting with Alabama and winding up with New Mexico. We should look at that. That is a study of the history of the development of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Of course, downstairs we have a very interesting room known as the Dining Room that contains not only the portraits of distinguished men of your fraternity but also a very interesting group of little dwarfs who do all sorts of marvelous things. Play football and baseball and study astronomy and they duel at Heidelberg and they sit at Oxford and they write books and they make sausage and they sew clothes as tailors and so forth, and it is very interesting and appropriate embellishment of your dining room. The chairs down there were all purchased by individual members of the Fraternity. I think if we had a hundred more we could sell them just like hot cakes, and the tables were given by different Chapters and Provinces and then the workshop of the Fraternity in the rear is where all these nice secretaries sit under the direction of Brother Lauren Foreman (Emory 1901) and do the work and send you bills and tell you how much you are behind and that you ought to keep up your record and you ought to correspond with your Province Archon and give your report to the headquarters. Now, by the way, right here I want to
SAE • THE RECORD • SPRING 2020
say this: that any Chapter that in this day, in these critical days of SAE and the critical days of our country, fails to make proper reports of the part that the Chapter plays in the history of this war is very derelict in their duties. The only way we can find out about that is by having your Chapter send word here of what is happening among the men that join the forces, and it is of utmost importance, so that you go back home, see that these reports are being made and sent in to Brother Foreman promptly, because we have got to have these names and there will be a great plaque back here of the boys who have made the last and supreme sacrifice. Going up in the hallway you see a picture of Brother William McKinley (Mount Union 1869). That is the only painting of McKinley that was ever painted in the White House—The President—and it was donated to us by the Alumni Association of New York City. The big fireplace in the workroom (Tower Room) was given to us and also put that inscription over the fireplace.” “How can I warm thee if thy heart be cold.” You know, I think that is a wonderful inscription. It is a wonderful inscription, a wonderful quotation, and it applies to every Chapter, to every SAE be he an undergraduate or an alumnus. You can’t get anywhere with your indifferent alumnus, your indifferent freshmen or your indifferent senior if his heart is cold. His heart should be warm toward the oath of loyalty that he has taken for the Fraternity on the night of his initiation and not forget it after he gets his badge. Too many of you think wearing the badge is the final ultimate object of a fraternity man’s life. It isn’t. It is the beginning, and whatever you put into it, that much you get out of it, and if you merely put on a badge and don’t put anything back, then your heart is cold and you will never be a good fraternity man and that applies to the alumni. I wish I’d have an alumnus, sometime or other, come into this Temple. I’d like to take them up there in that tower room, in that very sanctum sanctorum of SAE, and
“IT IS YOUR FRATERNITY AND LET YOUR HEART BE ALWAYS WARM TOWARDS YOUR BRETHREN, TOWARD YOU CHAPTER, TOWARD THE BOYS THAT NEED A HELPING FRATERNAL HAND.” let him read that inscription and ask him whether it applies to him, and if your heart is warm and sweet and fraternal and useful, that is what I want you men to remember when you go up there and see that fireplace and the inscription. There are so many details about this building that I can’t begin to go into them, but I do want you to feel that this is your Temple. It is your building. It is your Fraternity and let your heart be always warm towards your brethren, toward your Chapter, toward the boys that need a helping fraternal hand. God bless you. Go home to your chapter and tell them about your Temple. …The audience arose and enthusiastically applauded ◆

The funds will be invested in mental health initiatives specifically focused on improving the mental well being of college-aged men. “We chose to support Movember with their mental health and suicide prevention initiatives because we felt like they had a firm understanding of the issues on college campuses,” said J.T.

The article below is by Tyler Steele (Frostburg ‘18), a member of Generation Z and also a recent staff member. Steele offers a unique perspective gained through his time working with our chapters and volunteers. This submission provides his take on the challenges we face during another shift in generations and how both the older and the younger generation need to ‘meet in the middle.’
he challenges of our brothers who have come before us have always been different from our own. Our brothers, and our Fraternity, have endured through wars, beginning with the Civil War, assassinations of leaders, including our own brother President William McKinley, international shifts, and times of national mourning, such as the Challenger disaster. Each generation is shaped by these incidents, while subsequent generations try to grasp how it felt. These are the moments that form a generation.
The same can be said for today’s generation of college-aged men. They have grown up in an incredible time in American history - most don’t remember 9/11 or life before cell phones. Most weren’t even 10 when the first African-American President in United States history took office. And while some might say they have “had it easy,” they face their challenges that older generations have difficulty understanding. This generation of college students, creatively labeled Generation-Z by experts, is the next wave to enter higher education, and even now entering the workforce, all the while attempting to navigate a shifting college climate and a changing attitude toward what it means to be a man. Like the Millennials that preceded them and Generation-X before them, Generation-Z has its unique characteristics that are quickly criticized. However, it is to our benefit as brothers and mentors to continue to teach them what it means to be a True Gentleman and help guide them through the challenges they face. To cast them off as ‘special snowflakes’ or to criticize their needs fails to recognize their differences and values and what they bring to Fraternity. We should seek to understand their challenges and, as brothers, together navigate today’s world. How do we do this then? For some of us, who have the privilege of working with a modern college student, we may already have answers to this question. For some of us who haven’t been involved with undergraduate men perhaps for decades, we may feel disappointment toward the loss of ‘tradition’ or ‘zeal’ as we gaze from afar at the perceived shell of our former chapter. Before you begin reading any further to yield to the advice of a brother - wipe any preconceived notions about today’s college students from your thoughts and enter with an open mind. My intention in writing this is to help translate the modern college experience from someone who has recently graduated (December 2018)

to those who haven’t set foot on a college campus in 5, 10, 20, or even 50+ years. By combining personal experience with studies completed by some excellent Generational Researchers, this should give you a clear picture of today’s college experience. More importantly, it will bridge the communication gap between our incredible alumni network and a generation craving guidance, mentorship, and, most importantly, family. To even begin this process, Generation-Z needs to be defined. According to Pew Research Center, Generation Z is defined as anyone born between 1997 to the early 2010’s. For context, most current undergraduate students (assuming a “standard” path to college) were born between 1997 and 2002. More importantly, what doesthis mean for how they grew up? Here are some significant inventions that defined the early 2000’s:

THE FIRST USB FLASHDRIVE SOLD T
2001
THE FIRST IPOD WAS INVENTED
2004

YOUTUBE LAUNCHES

AMAZON PRIME LAUNCHES
Today’s students were at most 7 or 8 years old when all of these transformative creations began to influence the way we connect, consume, and create. In other words, they do not know a world where these tools never existed. Of the inventions above, the most significant is the smartphone. The iPhone was released to the public on June 29, 2007, with Android phones being released the next year in September. Today, 96% of Americans age 18-29 own a smartphone, according to Pew Research Center. Generation-Z hardly remembers a time when you couldn’t connect with your friends through social media, when a debate couldn’t be settled with a quick search on your phone, or when an item you wanted couldn’t be ordered, shipped, and delivered in less than 72 hours. This instant gratification and the rise of 24-hour customer service support has created a generation that expects solutions and help quickly whenever they need it. This may seem like a bad thing at first, born from privilege and lack of respect. However, most students don’t come from a disrespectful position when they act on their impulses. Often they come from a position of care or desperation. According to Meghan Grace and Corey Seemiller, authors of “Generation-Z Goes to College,” the top 3 motivators for Generation-Z students are Achievement, Passion, and Relation. This generation of students wants to do things they care about, with people they care about, and see progress and growth in what they are doing. Many of today’s students are great at identifying problems and clarifying what a better situation would be. Unfortunately, where they most often fail is in the path toward execution and developing a
road map. This is where advisors can play a significant role. Our experience and maturity become key to filling in the missing pieces of the picture and framing the road ahead of our undergraduate brothers. We need to understand that if students are reaching out for help, it is because they trust us and have exhausted their immediate resources. Either way, for undergraduates to seek our advice means they care about us, what they are doing, and want to see the issue improved. They are exhibiting a level of trust, which can be easily lost if their needs or questions are not answered or addressed in a timely manner. With relation to being such a significant motivator for today’s students, it becomes imperative that we, as alumni, develop authentic relationships with our undergraduate brothers. Without these genuine relationships, we cannot expect our guidance to resonate whatsoever. Gone are the days of the stoic role-model who is never-failing and stands as a perfect example of who our young men should aspire to be. Generation-Z students, more so than any generation before them, find role models in those who are close around them - teachers, coaches, parents, and family members. This “we-centric” mindset means that we, as alumni, need to be vulnerable with our undergraduate brothers. They want to know our struggles, failures, and to see our emotions. More importantly, they want to share in these experiences and have us share in theirs.
in-person communication and text-messages to communicate rather than phone calls and emails. An email or a phone call isn’t personal enough to them—there is no authenticity there. Their text messages are where they talk to their best friends, check-in with their parents about their day, and make plans for their free time. Emails, on the other hand, pile up with hundreds of notifications from campus events to coupons for 15% off purchases at a store they haven’t shopped at since middle school. Most students won’t even pick up the phone unless they are expecting a call, or if it’s a number saved on their phone. As alumni, we need to meet our Generation-Z brothers in the middle and attempt to find ways to authentically engage them by having more in-person meetups, lunches, or texting them for updates rather than emailing.
me succeed? and How will this help me get a job later?” All of this relates to the need to shift to “authentic advisors.” “Authentic advisors” are defined as an advisor who shares their struggles, failures, and emotions with the undergraduates. Generation-Z wants to share in these experiences and have us share in theirs. It is then not a surprise they are a generation that is increasingly more aware of the need for emotional and mental health support. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, more than 25% of young adults (18-24) have been diagnosed or treated by a mental health professional in the last year. More than half of college students have thought about suicide. These numbers are staggering and yet, only counts those who seek help. Many young men don’t feel comfortable seeking advice or opening up about how they’re feeling. Universities do not have the resources to help all of the students that struggle with mental health. These issues are affecting academic achievement, and these mental health issues are contributing to why many students drop out of school. Today, suicide is the third leading cause of death on college campuses - behind accidents (including alcohol-related injuries) and cancer. What’s worse is that students often turn to alcohol and drugs as a way to cope with mental health issues, leading to a painful cycle that damages lives and wastes potential. This issue is so severe that 7% of college-aged students qualify for substance abuse disorder (2015 “Monitoring the Future” survey), and 20% meet the criteria for alcohol abuse disorder (National Epidemiologic Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions).
MORE THAN HALF OF COLLEGE STUDENTS HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT SUICIDE.
We have to remember that our undergraduate brothers have grown up in a world with Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube dominating their content intake. They see highlight reels of other people’s lives, pranks, or stunts, but none of the consequences, and may have many thousands of interactions a day, but 99% of these interactions are inauthentic. It is no surprise that Generation-Z students prefer SAE • THE RECORD • SPRING 2020
The Fraternity and many universities are offering professional and personal growth opportunities that include learning how to communicate with those individuals, not a part of Generation-Z. As we advise our undergraduate men, an essential piece of that is getting them to understand many generations precede them, and communication strategies and techniques must change depending on with whom they are communicating. This generation cares about issues affecting them, their communities, and their future. They have access to resources to fact check everything. They tend not to care about who is black or white, gay, or straight. A general caring for the future is at the top of their list of concerns. Specifically, they want to know, “Why should I care about this? How will it help
Many chapters have adapted small groups, pass the gavel, or other named sessions to allow brothers a space to share their struggles, cry alongside one another, or get things off their chests. If 47
UNDERSTANDING GEN Z your chapter or one you advise has not done this, I highly encourage you to engage the men with the benefits of doing so. Sometimes, all these members need is a venue to talk and share in their way and time. How are we as alumni able to help with this issue? We can’t be expected to be mental health professionals. We are not, nor should we try to be. All we can do is be authentic, vulnerable, and create a space for our brothers to feel comfortable sharing in their daily challenges - no matter how trivial these challenges may seem to us. We can also learn to identify the signs of someone who is struggling and know resources they can be directed to on-campus or in the community. SAE has a partnership with the Jed Foundation, a non-profit organization that works to prevent suicide, and they have worked directly with many of our chapters—including many outstanding resources on their website. This is the challenge of the undergraduate brothers of today - to remain hopeful in a world of highlight reels and high expectations. While it may not be as easily identifiable as national tragedy or war, it is just as important. It is our job as brothers to be the family we pledged ourselves to be on the night of our initiations. The world will bring us all its joys and sorrows, its trials and temptations, and these may be different for each of us. As brothers, it is our responsibility to draw closer in the bonds of fraternity, to understand not to criticize, and to cultivate the authentic friendships that shall brighten the darkness of the way. ◆

FROM THE ARCHIVES
THE RARE BOOK ROOM
By Tyler Stokesbary Manager of Membership and Records Manager of The Levere Memorial Temple
More than ninety years ago, with the creation of the Levere Memorial Foundation (now the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation), one of the main objectives of the entity was, “To preserve documents, war records, works of art, and related objects for the encouragement of historic research, particularly as to the history of education and college organizations.” In the Archives at the Levere Memorial Temple there is a special room containing such works of particular rarity. In the Rare Book Room, there are historical works such as the Nuremburg Chronicle dating back to 1493, one of the first books to use water coloring containing the history of the world. Personal letters from John O. Moseley, Billy Levere’s transcripts, and much of the Fraternity’s early history is located there. However, some of the most important pieces of SAE history are located in the chapter scrapbooks. These scrapbooks, rich in SAE history, are nearly one hundred years old and contain articles, pictures, and memories of semesters gone by. Unfortunately, a vast majority of these scrapbooks are made from “Wood Pulp”, which has a lifespan of around one hundred years in ideal conditions. In addition to the wood pulp paper these scrapbooks have deteriorated further from the glue used to stick the pictures and articles to the paper. As the building celebrates 90 years, we must be mindful of our past and attempt to preserve it for future members. Luckily, in 2016 the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation partnered with HistoryIT, a software company dedicated to digitizing historical documents. HistoryIT offers individual chapters to preserve their documents. Recently, Carnegie Mellon University took it upon themselves to preserve their chapter’s history. To inquire about the preservation of your chapter’s historical documents, please contact foundation@sae.net.

GREAT MEN WITH VISION SET THE COURSE, TO HONOR OUR PAST AND PREPARE OUR MEN FOR THE FUTURE. WE NEED NEW MEN TO RISE ABOVE AND CONTINUE INVESTING IN OUR LEGACY.
