This fall, the national board of directors of Sigma Phi Epsilon assigned Ohio Eta charter to an Alumni Advisory Council (AAC) headed by Bill Greer ’81, Jonathan James, Ohio Alpha ’08, Tyler Havens, New York Iota ’03, and Nick Stanford. The goal is to improve key areas of Chapter operations, including establishing new recruitment standards, adherence to the Balanced Man Program, Chapter risk management, and accountability to SigEp standards.

This measure comes amidst a challenging national fraternity landscape with expectations of substance-free fraternity facilities and increased Miami policies and requirements that must be followed to maintain chapter and house operations. These significant changes at Miami and nationally require specific volunteer support from the AAC for Ohio Eta to remain viable.

As part of this process, continuing brothers of Ohio Eta have taken part in interviews with the AAC members. Active members are solidifying their intentions to better the Chapter and live in accordance to SigEp’s values and principles.

The AAC’s goals and objectives are to assist the Chapter in forming a new executive leadership team and Chapter operations in accordance with SigEp and Miami requirements. As most AAC volunteers are local to Oxford, they will be regularly available to active members and at Chapter meetings and events. Complete Chapter operations will be placed back in full control of undergraduate leadership within four semesters.

Many thanks are in order to Chapter Services Director Jared Riter and our AAC volunteers for generously giving their time and talents to help guide Ohio Eta to a positive, purposeful, and prosperous future.
