Colorado Gamma was founded at Colorado State University in 1915, when members of a local fraternity were initiated into Sigma Phi Epsilon. While the chapter has been dormant since 2014, alumni graduating from 1950 to 2013 were in attendance, coming to celebrate their chapter’s 100th anniversary from as far away as Thailand.
On Friday night, October 16, 2015, SigEp CEO Brian Warren, Virginia ’04, presented the chapter with a centennial proclamation and gave an address to the nearly 200 alumni present. Alumni also heard from Lindsay Sell, Colorado State director of fraternity and sorority life, and the chapter’s alumni-volunteers, who spoke about the group’s return to campus, progress on a house renovation and an ongoing capital campaign.
Brothers were able to view many items of chapter memorabilia before the Friday evening ceremony. The Saturday festivities included a breakfast buffet and house tour, CSU football game tailgate and a post-game dinner.
Also in attendance were National Director Billy Maddalon, North Carolina State ’90, and Director of Advancement Matt Parrish, Georgia ’07. The celebration was orchestrated by the president of the chapter’s housing corporation, Bryan Harmsen, Colorado State ’01.
