After five semesters of work, Connecticut Epsilon finally receives its official charter
By: Jennifer Rosenbaum
The Sigma Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon received its official charter which recognizes the Greek fraternity as the Connecticut Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon at their "Golden Heart Ball" on Saturday. The banquet was held at Woodwinds in Branford.
In attendance at the event, were the fraternity's Grand Chapter President, Archer L. Yeatts III, and about 165 people including brothers, advisors and friends wishing to celebrate the momentous occasion.
Sigma Phi Epsilon came to Quinnipiac in April of 2004 after an extensive interviewing process conducted by the student center. Since then, the chapter has initiated an intensive recruitment process, utilized the help of an expansion team sent to Quinnipiac to assist the chapter with their initial recruitment and worked tirelessly to achieve the goals they set out to accomplish when the chapter first began.
"We set out on a mission, and in two years of hard work, we accomplished that mission," said Anthony Brisson, founding father and former chapter president who served as the master of ceremonies for the GHB. "We received our charter and continue to be perceived as one of the elite chapters nationwide.
" The chapter began in 2004 with 22 members who pursued the idea of living their lives based on three basic principles: virtue, diligence and brotherly love. Today, the fraternity has grown to include 63 brothers who continue to live by these same principles.
