Sigma Tau Gamma - Purdue University

This week’s brother of the week is Ben Stryker. This past semester, Ben has done a phenomenal job preparing for our white rose formal. He is from Glenview Illinois, studying Environmental and Ecological Engineering with minors in Political Science and Mathematics. Currently, he works as a Supplemental Instruction Leader for MA 162 and as a research assistant under the civil department. The research that he is working on, deals with removing lead from water using electro-chemical filtration. His plan for this summer is to continue the research under the SURF program at Purdue and hopes to pursue his Master’s degree after graduation. Ben’s favorite thing about Sig Tau is “The immense opportunities I have had to grow as a leader and a gentlemen by being able to surround myself with such great role models. I joined this organization because I saw a group of men I enjoyed being around dedicated to break stereotypes associated with Greek life.”

This week’s Brother of the week is Michael Miller. Michael is a sophomore from Zionsville, Indiana with a Mechanical Engineering major. In fall of 2016, he joined Sig Tau to get more involved on campus. For this summer, he will be working as an intern in Manitoba, Canada.

On his bucket list, he wants to hike the entire Appalachian Trail and he has completed 1100 miles out of 2100 so far! Lastly, Michael’s favorite part about Sig Tau is how “membership is involved in all aspects of campus life and everyone knows a Sig Tau”.
