Letter from the Chairman

The Florida Chi chapter at UTampa has returned.

The Phoenix has risen! I am proud to announce the Florida Chi Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at UTampa has returned to our Alma Mater. After a successful "Recruitment Week," and two initiations during the Fall of 2024, a total of 47 undergraduate brothers have accepted a bid and been initiated as a brother. Each Emerging Brother is ready to take on a significant role in the Florida Chi chapter. These men have made a commitment to acadamics, leadership, public service, and being an integral part of Greek life on campus.

The Florida Chi's classification as a "Phoenix chapter" is significant, as there hasn't been an SAE presence on campus for over 30 years. As you know, in Greek mythology, the Phoenix is the immortal bird that rises from the ashes of its predecessor to to be born again. I know the members of the Florida Chi Alumni Association are excited the chapter is back on the UTampa campus and want to help our chapter as best they can.

Our goal as Alumni is to help guide these men towards greatness. I am sure there are many alumni have the skillset to help revitalize the newest chapter within the realm of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. As we have now started down the road, we are hopeful you can offer both your knowledge and guidance.

Phi Alpha,

Mark Turner

Chairman
