As career success becomes more dependent upon post graduate study, a truly valuable undergraduate education is one that is broad rather than highly specialized. Many suggest that today's student should take two things away from college: the ability to write clearly and the ability to interact with people.

For over 150 years one organization has been the leader in the social development of college men. This organization is the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, and it has helped shaped the lives of over 280,000 members.

SAE's core values are loyalty, honor, friendship, and fraternity and these values are necessary to live by the fraternities creed - "The True Gentlemen" - an ultimate guide to human interaction.

Community Service

The brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon have completed three major community service projects so far this year with some still to come. We began the semester off with ChocolateFest, which raised money for the community center. Many of the brothers volunteered their time to set up and take care of the children in the Lewisburg community while others paticipated in the ChocolateFest philantrophy event. Many other brothers also volunteered their time helping a non-profit organization, The Uncommon Threat, which raises money to help children with autism. Finally, SAE also paticipated in a downtown clean up to ensure that the Bucknell community and environment remains clean. SAE has done a phenomenal job volunteering their time and the community has been grateful.

A Note from the EA

Greetings!

Brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are guided by our creed ‘The True Gentleman.’ This man exemplifies honesty, loyalty, friendship, and commitment to all of his endeavors. This semester, we seek to continue our tradition as True Gentleman and expand our involvement on campus and in the community.

The Pennsylvania Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been working hard to ensure a smooth transition for the new executive board and house positions. So far it has been a great success and all members have worked hard to help. Recently, SAE helped run the Chocolate Festival at the Donald Heiter Community Center. The event raised over $1,400 for the Community Center, which provides daycare to families within the area. Also, a number of SAE brothers participated in the Polar Bear Plunge by braving the frigid February waters of the Susquehanna River.

Being involved in community efforts is one of our top priorities at Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and we seek to continue our participation in both campus and community events as the semester goes on. We are in the early stages of planning another philanthropy event that will benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and we will work hard to get the entire campus involved. Beyond this, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is looking forward to a fun and safe House Party Weekend.

The Pennsylvania Zeta chapter would like to thank all of the alumni and administration for their continued support. We look to set the bar even higher this year and continue our tradition of excellence.

Thanks,

Tyler Abell '11, Eminent Archon
