Meaning be true to theirselves, their brothers and their community.
Three freshmen came to Eastern not knowing they would become the founding fathers of Eastern's chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Sam Harris, Justin Myers and Andy Laird were recommended to start the fraternity by Paul Willard, the Assistant Resident Director of Carman Hall.
Willard helped the men get approval of starting SAE and become a colony, which is the first step to becoming finalized.
In order to become a colony the fraternity needed between 10 to 20 members, a fee of $75 per a member, 2.5 grade point average and $3,000 in their account to start the chapter.
"No one or group of people can start a fraternity, it's a group effort," said Harris, a finance major and treasurer of SAE.

EIU's really pro-Greek, and I've heard that the administration is really pleased with these young men. Best wishes for continued success!
