How Has SAE Influenced You?Thank you to our alumni members who recently responded to let us know how Sigma Alpha Epsilon has influenced their lives. Here’s what a few brothers had to say about their time in the fraternity:
Siegfried Behrens ‘93: “Many of the values I hold today were formed during my college years. SAE had a lot to do with that because values are introduced and reinforced throughout the entire process of pledging, active membership and as an alumnus.”
James D. Parmiter ‘56: “I was a good ole’ country boy with smarts who learned to be a first class gentleman.”
Jonathan H. Gates ’63: “I met my wife of 43 years at Penn State directly as a result of SAE. A fraternity brother’s (
Clem Newbold '61) girlfriend (Ginny Dunkerton, a Theta) asked me to escort her younger sister, Linda Dunkerton, while she was visiting the campus. Although I was a sophomore and she was a high school senior, we hit it off immediately. (I always liked younger women!). Although it took some five or six years for ‘it’ to all come together again (in California!), it did. We now have three wonderful children: two teachers and an MD, and we have six grand children. It was all because of PSU and SAE.” Jonathan added, “I thoroughly enjoyed my three years at Penn State and would enjoy reconnecting with all my old fraternity brothers.”

A few of our donors recently shared the influence that the fraternity has had on them, and why they support SAE in their alumni years:
• “My best friends are my fraternity brothers.”
• “SAE has allowed me to be a strong relationship builder, which has helped me in my career. More importantly, it’s allowed me to be a happier person.”
• “I would say the fraternity has completely influenced the person I am today.”
Hasn’t SAE had a similar impact on you too?

Continued... Interact with Sigma Alpha Epsilon BrothersWe’re excited to introduce a new place in our new alumni community, where you can interact directly with groups of Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers. You can participate in the brotherhood community, create a new group for you and your friends, or join an existing one! Within each group’s page, the members have control over the content. You can upload and share links, videos, photos, events and comments with other members. Create and/or join as many groups as you’d like...such as a group for your pledge class, another for alumni in your major/career field, and maybe another for brothers in your state/region.
