I graduated from Dakota High school in Macomb, MI where I was a varsity wrestler. Soon after college I hope to go back to school and get a Master\u2019s in Business and Administration. My first year at Kettering I probably made the best decision I\u2019ve yet to make in college, going Greek and more importantly joining Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In this fraternity everyone is like family, it is a true brotherhood. The reason I joined \u03a3AE is because this fraternity really seemed to push and support the idea of the true gentleman, which I thought was awesome. \u03a3AE is also one of the biggest fraternities in the world which was also pretty appealing. I am a big thrill seeker, I have been sky diving twice and I will soon go again. I just recently bought a motorcycle and I\u2019m pretty much always done to do any type of thrill seeking activity. I enjoy watching sports and hanging out with friends. There is also a couple of tv shows that I am addicted to like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Dexter. I work at Eaton in Marshall, MI; there I work in the Torque Controls Products Division. I love my job and the people there. Best part of the job is getting to test drive the different trucks on the off road courses.”<\/p>\n

I work for Cooper Tire in Findlay, OH. After school I would like use my background in chemistry to do research, but I am not sure in which field yet.<\/p>\n

I came to Kettering with no plans to join a fraternity, but the brotherhood of \u03a3AE and their creed, the True Gentleman, were what drew me in. I joined the Fraternity for the networking, leadership opportunities, and brotherhood, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life so far.

\nBiography<\/strong>: Pre-Graduation: \u201cMy name is Alex Miller and I am the current Eminent Archon for Sigma Alpha Epsilon B Section. I transferred to Kettering University from Wright State University in Dayton, OH. I am a senior III with plans to graduate this winter with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Previously I was the Treasurer and Eminent Chaplin for the chapter.
\nBefore Kettering, I had little knowledge of fraternities other than the few instances of pledge activity I saw at Wright State. No one could explain what a fraternity actually was. At Kettering, I met a man I would later call a Brother. He explained to me the brotherhood of \u03a3AE, the creed the True Gentleman, and the way of life a fraternity man should live. The decision to join Sigma Alpha Epsilon was an easy one. The opportunities available to learn and develop myself as a True Gentleman have been life-changing experiences.
\nIn my free time I enjoy tinkering with my motorcycles or working out. My favorite bike is an orange stunt bike that I spend more time upgrading and fixing than I do actual riding. Other hobbies include the occasional video games, cooking extravagant meals (triple stuffed pizza), and hanging out with our alumni. I like to be up and active so whatever your fancy there is always something happening at \u03a3AE.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBiography<\/strong>: Pre-Graduation: \u201cI joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the fall of 2009 and I often regard that decision as one of the best decisions I have made in my life.\u00a0I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and have lived in the same house my entire life. I went to high school at the Toledo Technology Academy which was a school designed as a charter school that specialized in manufacturing technologies. Along with our regular core studies, we worked in \u201cLab Classes\u201d which taught me everything from basic sheet metal work to machining and even PLC programming. For my Senior Capstone project, my partner and I designed and fabricated a completely autonomous lawnmower.
\nGrowing up, I was really into music and football. I played football from 7th<\/sup> grade until I was a senior in high school, when I gave that up to come to Kettering University. I began my music career in 7th<\/sup> grade as well, starting off with the study of the clarinet. I followed up my freshmen year by beginning to play to oboe and later the English horn, both of which I played in the Toledo Youth Orchestra, which was a concentration of students throughout northwest Ohio. I am currently involved with many instruments including the guitar, bass, piano, hand bells and the previously mentioned instruments. Other activities that I am involved in\/with include classic cars, BMX, ATVs, fishing and marksmanship.
\nWhen I finish at Kettering, I hope to work a few years with the company that I am currently employed with (Faurecia Emission Control Technologies) to save enough money to start my own business. I would like to start my own garage and begin to design, manufacture and market performance parts for import and domestic vehicles, as well as get into rally racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBiography<\/strong>: Pre-Graduation: “I was born in Brooklyn, NY and spent most of my childhood growing up in the suburbs of New Jersey.

\nKettering seemed like an obvious choice for my career path in Engineering, so I obtained a Co-Op position at FEV, Inc. in Auburn hills in July of 2008. I work with state of the art technology and learn valuable skills and knowledge on a daily basis.
\nAfter 2 terms at the University, I joined the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on campus. Since my freshman year, I have been the Eminent Herald and the IT Manager of the chapter, currently I am still IT Manager, and now Risk Manager.

\nBiography<\/strong>: “My first term at Kettering was in the Fall term of 2008. Originating from Royal Oak, Michigan, where I had lived all my life, beginning my college experience at Kettering was a little intimidating, giving the nature of the school \u2013 and the reputation of Flint. I really didn’t know what to expect.\u00a0However, I connected very quickly with the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (at the chapter house which, at that time, was still located on the multi-acre plot on Beecher Rd) and never looked back. I was initiated as a brother with my pledge class in Spring of 2009, and can only look back on all the experiences with positive thoughts and a huge smile – it was by far the best decision of my college career.<\/p>\n

During my time as an active brother, I first held the position of Eminent Chronicler – a recent historian, of sorts. After this I held the position of Eminent Recorder – the brother in charge of taking notes at meetings and keeping the rest of the brothers informed and reminded of what was said and done. My final position was that of Eminent Treasurer – this coincided with the second term in the brand new 1509 University chapter house, and was a great way to prove what I was worth, with managing a budget, payments, expenses and a whole pile of receipts – but it really brought out the best in me, helping me really be the best I could be. I’ve made lifelong friends. Lifelong brothers. People who I know I can always count on to give me a hand if I’m in need – or just to be there to share a couple beers with, relax and remember all those good times.<\/p>\n

Being a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is more than what you\u2019d expect \u2013 it holds you to a higher standard, as do your brothers \u2013 and your own self. I\u2019ve learned a lot during my time as an active brother and I can honestly say that being an \u03a3AE is what really helped me grow as a person compared to my high-school self. I would not be where I am today, or as happy as I am today if I had not joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Being able to connect with a complete stranger, right after you find out that they are an \u03a3AE from a different chapter \u2013 even one in a different state, is something that is always a great experience. I\u2019ve met them on the job \u2013 and even wandering the streets of downtown Chicago. You just instantly share something that nobody else can understand \u2013 what it means to be a True Gentleman.”<\/p>\n

\nPositions Held: <\/strong>Eminent Deputy Archon, Grandpa Rush, Recruitment Chair (x2), Scholarship Chair, Pledge Educator
\nBiography:<\/strong> \u201cI graduated in the Spring of 2012 with a degree in mechanical engineering. During my time at Kettering, I grew the most from my experiences as a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. When I first came to Kettering I feel like I was pretty awkward (like most Kettering students are), but joining \u03a3AE really let me break out of my shell and find out who I was. \u03a3AE gave me many opportunities I would have never had if I stayed independant, or joined another fraternity. Being a part of something greater really helped me to learn a sense of pride and responsibility that I never had. And something as large as \u03a3AE was crazy to contribute to. During my time in the house, I held recruitment chair a few times, scholarship chair once, and eminent deputy archon (VP) for a year. Recruitment taught me how to be socialable, meet new people, and build ever lasting bonds with future brothers. Scholarship chair taught me the importance of my performance in class and how to improve the study habits of myself and all my brothers around me. VP taught me how to lead, micromanage, and report back to the president all the inner workings of the house. People depended on me, and I depended on them, and it was a great feeling knowing that your actions made such a difference on something so important to so many.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but these people are my brothers and my best friends. The relationships built by those living within the walls of the michigan epsilon chapter of \u03a3AE are something special. Having a close group of people with the same beliefs and ideals as you, ready to support and help you with any struggle, and be there for all the good times and bad, was the best resource anyone could ask for. Without my brothers I may have not lasted at Kettering. When classes got tough, my brothers helped me pick up the pieces. If my personal life was going through some turbulence, they helped me get back on my feet. There is a bond that is much greater than friendship, and that’s the brotherhood I got from \u03a3AE.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but \u03a3AE continues to affect me after graduation. I still see my brothers on a regular basis and have even bumped into some new ones along the way. One of the higher up managers at my company happens to be an \u03a3AE from my very same chapter some years ago. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the largest national fraternity with over 300,000 members, and that continues to show today. And with such a strong base, there’s always something exciting happeneing in \u03a3AE. I look forward to our chapter’s annual canoe trip every spring, and we continue to start new traditions including motorcycle meet-ups and ski\/snowboard trips becoming more and more frequent.<\/p>\n

Truth is that \u03a3AE shaped me into the person I am today. Without the experiences I had in this house, I dont know where I would be today, but I am truly thankful for all the great times I had in Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and I look forward to many more enjoyable memories with the brothers of \u03a3AE. If you are reading this as a potential recruit, I ask you to read our crede, The True Gentlemen. Do you want people to read this and think of you? If so, pledge \u03a3AE.\u201d<\/p>\n
