The University of Central Arkansas is celebrating a centuring of Greek life on campus by giving a glimpse into the lives of 100 Greek alumni, including several SigEps.
“I want to be remembered for what I gave and not what I took. I believe all people have value. I think we should all listen to understand first, then to be understood.
UCA provided me the opportunity to find who I am. I entered as a naïve freshman and left as a confident college graduate. I used my undergraduate degree in mathematics to become an educator where I was able to discover my true life passion – to help others by equipping them with the skills necessary for success.
I didn’t seek out a fraternity; it found me. And I’m glad that it did. For the past 12 years, I have served as an advisor and alumni representative for my undergraduate chapter. My connection to the chapter keeps me energized and motivated as I see the accomplishments of this group of men.”
My Greek experience was unique.
“My fraternity brothers encouraged me in my growth as a musician. Whenever I played concerts, they were there. Whenever I was working on new material while living in the SigEp house, someone was there to listen. I flourished during and after college because I was a part of a community that cared for me, believed in me, and that I could care for and believe in. Some of my brothers are still my best friends: the men I lean on when life is trying and the standard of character that I aim for.
As an artist, I am in the business of telling stories – through songs, design, performance and presentation of my product. My UCA education has helped me tell the story myself and be my own CEO instead of having to rely on other people to do everything for me.”
My Greek experience was unforgettable.
At least four more SigEp alumni will be featured in the coming weeks and will be added when available.
