A successful SigEp chapter requires effective guidance from those who can both relate issues of the chapter and can use their experience and maturity to advise the operations of the undergraduates.  It is my pleasure to introduce the new chapter counselor for Pennsylvania Beta Alpha’s chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, Mr. Trever Sweeney.

Trever is a 2011 graduate of Moravian College with a degree in Financial Economics.  Trever joined Moravian’s SigEp chapter in Spring 2007 and served as both Vice President of Finance and President, as well as multiple committee roles.  Trever participated heavily in the leadership continuum, being selected to facilitate multiple EDGE and Carlson Leadership Academies, as well as attending Ruck Leadership Institute in 2009.  As an undergraduate at Beta Alpha chapter, he was instrumental in the creation of the annual golf outing, the alumni mentoring program, and the development of standards and the standards board.  Trever has been recognized at both the local and national levels receiving the Consummate Gentleman and Fearless Leader Awards from Beta Alpha’s AVC, and the Frank J. Ruck Leadership Award for District 6 his senior year.

Outside of Moravian, Trever is soon finishing up his contract with the Marine Corps Reserves, for whom he served in Iraq in 2008 and Morocco in 2011.  In the summer of 2010, he had an internship at Highline Financial in New York City and is pursuing a Masters Degree in Analytical Finance degree this fall.

On a personal note, I have enjoyed the privilege of serving Moravian PA BA, as Chapter Counselor, since 2007.  I have learned a tremendous amount from all of the men in the chapter, and have grown immensely as a result.  I have a tremendous sense of pride in working closely with Trever since he joined the chapter in the Spring of 2007 and attended the Carlson Leadership Academy in just his first semester with the Chapter.  Since that time, Trever has served as a consistent leader and role model for the men of PA BA, the Moravian community and broader global community.  I am confident that the men of PA BA will benefit greatly from Trever’s leadership in this role.  Please join me in welcoming Trever to this new service leadership position!

On rare occasions, there is a unique opportunity to join forces as a Fraternity in Eastern PA/District Six and raise funds for an important cause. This, I believe is one of those occasions.

Brother John Gambone, a longtime SigEp Alumni Volunteer in District Six has asked for our support in helping his cousin, Michael Altieri. Michael is the Drug Task Force Coordinator in Montgomery County, PA. He recently underwent surgery for the removal of a benign brain tumor. During surgery, there were complications and Michael is now left with limited sight in just one eye. His family’s medical bills have been mounting, and to defray some of the costs, a benefit will held this coming Saturday, August 23. The flyer with details is attached. If you cannot participate in this event, there is another way to help. Click the Read More link for instructions.
