Thank you for my son’s Ruck experience

Categories: Commentary

By Betsy Miller

My son, Jake Roselli, Oregon State ‘15, just returned from the Ruck Leadership Institute and had the time of his life. He came home and told his grandparents that he was, “totally blown away” by the whole experience. 

I was incredibly impressed with the activities these young men experienced at Ruck. Discussing it all was a teaching moment for us both and for that, I thank SigEp. 

Since then, Jake has communicated daily with brothers from his group. I believe that speaks volumes for what all the scholars got out of it.  

As his mother, I just wanted to share that it was such a thrill for me to hear about his experience and how enriching his life has become through Sigma Phi Epsilon.

I am a former traveling consultant with Kappa Alpha Theta and fully appreciate the value in these leadership opportunities. He is so engaged about his experience and how he is going to share it with the others in his chapter who can’t fully understand the opportunity he has had. 

I could not be more thrilled as a parent with his SigEp experience. So much of the man he is becoming is due to his affiliation with SigEp and for that I am so thankful! 

I have been an active alumna, and know Jake will be as well.
