In our second century, I would like to see Triangle Fraternity improve and grow. First, we need to continue promoting the growth of our existing chapters. In the last year, we have begun to develop momentum with our expansion on to new campuses. We need to continue to push in this area. We need to ensure the financial security of the Fraternity through increased Alumni contributions and overseeing risk management of the Active organizations. I would like to see us put more emphasis on the 50 + year Alumni stage of our brothers’ lives, recognizing Alumni have different motivations than Actives. In particular, we need to do a better job of establishing networking opportunities between brothers for professional development. I want to see more Alumni at National Conventions and serving on Chapter Boards.

I believe Triangle should continue to stress its strengths. In particular, our focus on scholarship and the professional/personal development of our active organizations must continue. One of our key strengths, that I believe our Founders recognized, is the bond realized within a group of young men focused on similar professional aspirations. As a father, I want Triangle Fraternity to continue to be an organization that I would be proud for my three sons to join.

My primary goals in volunteering for National service are to continue developing lifelong friendships with my fellow Fraternity Brothers, to contribute in some meaningful way to Triangle’s legacy, and to have fun.
