CHAPTER PLANS

The Executive Committee of the Texas Delta chapter came up with a plan to improve the current status of our chapter. The strategic plan involves obtainable and clear goals that will eventually lead us to a Buchanan Cup. The chapter goals include a combination of outstanding recruitment, high grade point averages, recognition as a Residential Learning Community, winning philanthropies and intramural sports.

SPRING CASUAL

The Texas Delta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon had its Spring Casual in Galveston. The brothers and their dates went aboard a boat for some fishing in the Galveston Bay.

ATHLETICS

This past semester, Sigma Phi Epsilon won 1st place in both indoor and outdoor volleyball. Out of all the fraternities that competed, finished 5th in greek intramurals last year.

FRONTIER FIESTA

This past Frontier Fiesta, Texas Delta held a carnival booth  style car smash to raise money for Youth Aids. Sigma Phi Epsilon managed to raise over $400 dollars for the organization which educates and campaigns against the spread of HIV/AIDS. Along with raising money for charity, SigEp managed to walk away with the Best Carnival Booth award as well as the Best Carnival Booth Front.

MR. FIESTA

For the third year in a row, a SigEp has taken the title of Mr. Fiesta. Preceded by Tyson Ruhman and Kelly Waterman, Patrick Ganze Hayden was awarded the title of Mr. Fiesta 2010.

NEW MEMBERS

This past week was the end of formal IFC recruitment and it culminated with Steps in front of the reflection pond. Not  only was this one of the largest new member classes Texas Delta has had in a while, but it also pushed the total chapter membership to
51 members. With this said, Sigma Phi Epsilon has no intention of slowing down on recruitment and hopes to reach 30 new members very soon.

SPECIAL THANKS

We would like to extend a big thank you to Patrick Tycynski, Mark Carswell, and Neil Biswas for donating money for recruitment. Another  special thanks to A.J. Pisana for donating two tables to the house and a
thanks to to Gary Cumming for all his help during the past two Frontier Fiestas.
