SigEp Wins Intramural Title Again
May 11, 2008
Posted by Jay Strybis
Building on a tradition, SigEp has won Valparaiso University's All-Campus Intramural title for the second year in a row. We've now held the intramural title for 7 out of the last 8 years.
This has been a good year for us. With only a couple more days of finals and a week until graduation, we're all looking forward to a break from the action.
On another note, the Spring 2008 Sigma project is almost done, and the back patio is looking great. We've been power-washing the deck and the fence, and the staining/sealing is almost complete. Plans for some gardening around the deck and fence are in the works, and it should look awesome for homecoming next year.

There were a plethora of awards handed out to the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon at VU's 2008 Greek Awards. In total, Sig Eps took seven of twelve potential awards handed out that Monday night. The Indiana Zeta chapter as a whole received four awards; Fall grades, Spring grades, Outstanding Chapter Programming and the esteemed President's Award of Excellence, which is given to the overall highest achieving fraternity. Sig Ep also took a majority of the individual awards. Robby Pampel received the highly regarded Greek Man of the Year Award. Matt Riley and James Crowley were also individually lauded, with Matt receiving the Safe Man of the Year Award and Crowley taking the Dr. Alan Harre Civic Engagement Award.

Indiana Zeta did it country this year. We had a lot of fun putting together our show for this year and ended up taking second place in the Men's Division while winning the Overall Most Creative Award.
As soon as the video is edited, we'll post a link here.
Heart to heart to all the dudes who helped put it together this year, especially Tyler Schofield, Robby Pampel and Geoff Yates. Thanks to the guys who helped in the band too: James Nagel, Alex Marque and John Williamson.
Alumni Page and Forum
April 13, 2008
Posted by Jay Strybis
The alumni page has been updated with a little more information about our alumni accounts process.
Basically how it works is this:
If you are an alumni of our chapter, you can click this link and signup. Your account will then be in limbo while we confirm that you are actually an Indiana Zeta alumnus. Our Alumni chair will verify your standing and confirm your account, and you will receive an email notifying you that your account has been confirmed.
One of the benefits of having an alumni account is that you will have access to the private sections of the site. We have just added a private message forum for actives and alumni to interact. You can also comment on news, send private messages to all actives and alumni, and you can have access to contact information for all actives and alumni.
We plugged the website quite a bit in our most recent newsletter, and we've been getting a steady stream of SigEps signing up since then.
Thanks to all of our alumni who are signing up, and we look forward to hearing from more.

The chapter would like to announce and give congratulations to Sophomore Geoff Yates. He has been selected as one of the lucky undergraduate members of Sigma Phi Epsilon who get to attend Ruck Leadership Institute.
Ruck is basically SigEp's Top Gun. The national fraternity selects some of the nation's top members and sends them to the College of William and Mary, the birthplace of the American College Fraternity, to develop their personal leadership and mentoring skills.
Geoff is a sophomore Mechanical Engineering student. He works as an Ambassador in Admissions for Valparaiso's Admissions Office, is a member of Valparaiso's Ultimate Frisbee team and drives a 1970 Chevelle.

Fall '07 Grades
February 04, 2008
Posted by Jay Strybis
This is a little late, but we want to let everyone know about our accomplishment.
Last semester (Fall '07), we set a new house record for grades. Our chapter's average GPA for last semester was over a 3.4. This is a new house record and should definitely put us among the top SigEp chapters in the nation for grades.
We're extremely proud of this accomplishment and hope to continue this trend of being the top fraternity on Valpo's campus with respect to grades.
