NC Alpha chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon

From Thomas Goodwin, EA:

godspeed letter from the EA

My name is Thomas Walker Goodwin and I am the newly elected president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon NC-Alpha Chapter. I would just like to give a little information to everyone about myself so parents, alumni, and potential recruits have a better idea of who is in charge of this fraternity. I have lived in Raleigh, NC my entire life and after four great years attending Needham Broughton HighSchool, I decided to join the Pack, a great decision in my opinion. I am currently a junior majoring in Sport Management with a minor in Business. I have enjoyed every minute of my time here in the Raleigh area and at North Carolina State University with my brothers.

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity was founded March 9, 1856 at the University of Alabama and remains to be the only true southern started fraternity to this date. Its founders were eight young men led my Noble Leslie Devotie whose motive was simple: to perpetuate through the organization the warm friendships he and his friends had already formed on the campus of the university. My new member experience with SAE began during the fall of 2009 where I was introduced and got to know a hand full of great guys who supported me. The connections and relations that I have made thus far truly put things into perspective and really show what Sigma Alpha Epsilon is all about.

Currently our chapter is 43 strong with a new mindset and goals that consist of continuing a tradition of excellence scholarship, athleteics, and supporting our school as well as community in a variety of ways. As the face of this fraternity is important to me that we represent not only Sigma Alpha Epsilon, but also NCSU in the best light possible. After joining SAE and becoming a brother, that person has a duty to the rest of brothers, fraternity, school and community of upholding the highest standards and appearing well in any company.
