The Florida Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity at Florida State University Doud (Wisconsin)
Consultant & Corporate Director, Motorola, Inc. Kent C.
Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp) was founded on November 1st, 1901 on the campus of Richmond College (now called the University of Richmond) with the intention of developing balanced men through the ideals of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love. The men of Sigma Phi Epsilon consistently exemplify the highest level of academic, social, and physical prowess in all aspects of life. Together, we place oppo
rtunity before each member in order to further his own personal development – not only for his college career but for his life beyond it. Throughout the decades, brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon have practiced their values and embraced the stated desire of the Founders, “This Fraternity will be different.”

It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic passing of our brother, Will Proctor.
Will, was a truly special man that impacted every individual who had the honor of being in his presence. He will be missed dearly by our brotherhood and will continue to give us inspiration to live like he did.
Please join us on Langford Green at 5PM today to remember the life of Brother Will Proctor. Will Proctor was the embodiment of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love and his impact on Florida Epsilon will never be forgotten.

Two of our brothers were fortunate enough to experience the Ruck Leadership Institute this past week, learning the in-depth history of our fraternity and instrumental leadership skills to bring back to the Florida Epsilon chapter. Thank you for the opportunity.

Perhaps the only good thing to come from this past weekend....brothers Brent Terry and Will Boose visited Atlanta as part of an Academic Recruitment trip. They were recruiting top academic talent for FSU at Alan C Pope High School and Marietta High School. We are proud to see our brothers build connections at FSU and use those relationships to improve the university! Link to FSU ARO in the comments

Today we send out our thoughts and prayers to the members of Pi Kappa Alpha at Florida State University and all those affected by the loss of Austin Ekern.
Several members from our chapter that are from the Orlando area were close with him. "Ek was one of the first friends I made in Tallahassee. You never saw him mad or upset, he brightened up everyone's day and always had a positive outlook on everything. He's the most down to Earth person I've ever met" - Austin Webb
The Greek community sends out its condolences and support during this time of hardship.
