Several members of our chapter took the opportunity to go down to Indianapolis over the weekend to participate in some philanthropy with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. TV station, Indiana 6, did a profile on some of the local companies participating in the event, and this video featured Jake Hautly and Colin Fields, with extensive photos of Jake in his letters. Check it out embedded below, or head over to the Indiana 6 website, here.

Carlson Leadership Academy yields new ideas, awards
February 09, 2009

Posted by Jonathon Becker

Last weekend, the new officers of Indiana Zeta attended The Carlson Leadership Academy at the Weston Lombard in Chicago. The officers were joined by AVC board president, Josh Lee and chapter counselor, Mike Nevergall.
The Carlson Leadership Academy (CLA) is part of the national SigEp Leadership Continuum, which is set up to help “elected officers develop key life skills and share best practices to lead their chapter to excellence.”
The group arrived on Friday night and spent all day Saturday spending time talking with other executive boards from around the region, and learning from successful alumni. There were officer break-out sessions for people to talk to and learn from other people who are trying to accomplish the same things. Everyone who went came away with many goals and ideas to bring back to chapter. In particular, each officer was asked to come up with three goals for each position.
In addition to learning leadership skills, Indiana Zeta was also the recipient of two awards at the event. We received the Manpower Excellence award for having the most members of any fraternity on campus at 67, and the Phi Beta Kappa Wheelhouse award for maintaining greater then a 3.15 GPA for both semesters in the 2007-2008 school year. These awards have been added to the list on our awards page.

Discussion of this post, as well as each officer’s list of goals can be found on the forums, here.

New members, new E-board

On Friday, January 30, spring rush ended, and ten men turned in their bids to join the Indiana Zeta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. The quality of these ten men can not be overstated, and the chapter as a whole is very proud to call them members of this Fraternity. They began the Balanced Man program that night by going through the Sigma right of passage.
The names of these ten men are: Justin Bui, Dwight Cooper,  Luke Easterday, Derek Egley, Zach Huey, Zoran Kvrgic, Curtis Marshall, Joseph Miller, Kris Parrent, and Geoff Stellfox. (Click on their names to view their user pages, which they should be updating within the next week.)
In addition to getting new members, the Fraternity leadership also transitioned on Sunday, February 1, as the new executive board was sworn into office. The new officers can be viewed here.
