Sigma Alpha Epsilon Hosts Florida Chi VIP Chartering Dinner.

On April 25, 2025, the National office for Sigma Alpha Epsilon hosted a VIP congratulatory dinner for the undergraduate officers of the Florida Chi Chapter at UTampa in honor of their impending chartering banquet the following day. The event was held at Mis en Place Restaurant, across the street from the UTampa campus.

“I couldn’t be more honored,” said Eminent Archon Trevor Sandler. “It is such a treat to meet some of the SAE dignitaries whom have done so much and dedicated their lives for the fraternity.” Brother Sandler continued,”Just to have the opportunity to talk to these men, and learn from them, is something I will never forget.”

Eminent Deputy Archon, Ryan Stimson, stated, “To be in the presence of these men who have given so much back to their fraternity was both humbling and inspiring.” Brother Stimson continued, “We are certain our new chapter will meet and exceed the expectations of these great men.”

Dignitaries attending the dinner included a host of past Eminent Archons, SAE Senior Staff, and a number of officers and committee members from the Florida Chi undergraduate chapter. SAE notables include John Fantone, SAE Distinguished Service Award recipient, Dave Griego, Director of the SAE Ritual Institute, John Kelley, Province Nu Epsilon Ritualist, Pete Engle, Emerging Chapter Consultant, Trevor Sandler, Chapter Eminent Archon, and Ryan Stimson, Chapter Eminent Deputy Archon.

The SAE-Florida Chi Charter Initiation Banquet is being held the following day, on Saturday, April 26th. For more information about the VIP dinner, go to the Florida Chi Alumni Association's Facebook page at "Welcome True Gentlemen" and scroll down for additional photography.
