Financial & Housing: Win a 50″ TV or Scholarships

Renovate the Chapter House and Win a 50” Flat-Screen TV

Are you up to the challenge? The SAE Financial & Housing Corporation is announcing its inaugural Spring Renovation Contest. F&H is looking for six big winners who have what it takes to make an impression.

During April 2010, any undergraduate chapter that submits an entry describing a completed renovation project is eligible to win one of five 42″ plasma TVs, and one chapter will win the grand prize of a 50″ plasma TV for the best overall project.

You can enter in any category:

  • Interior Project
  • Exterior Project
  • Chapter Room
  • “Green” Project
  • And, for all the chapters without housing, any project performed to improve either the campus or community as it relates to housing, such as Habitat for Humanity, the university president’s house, a campus residence hall, or other project is eligible
  • Get your hard hats on and start planning today. Projects must commence after March 15, 2010, and be completed before April 30, 2010. All submissions must be received by Friday, April 30, 2010. Descriptions must include a detailed project plan, before-and-after photos and a statement of purpose on why this project makes a difference. More details and contest rules will be publicized in January. Winners will be announced at the 75th John O. Moseley Leadership School in August of 2010.

    The Joe Clarke Scholarship:
    Inspiration to Be the One for the Future

    At the 153rd Anniversary Convention in New Orleans, the SAE Financial & Housing Corporation gave a grant to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity equal to the initiation fees for ten deserving brothers. The grant was awarded in honor of Joe Clarke, who paid the initiation fee for our past Eminent Supreme Archon, M. Todd Buchanan.

    Buchanan was unsure whether he could afford to join Sigma Alpha Epsilon as an undergraduate, and that night when he returned home, an envelope was under his door, with a check made out to Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the full amount of his pledge and initiation fees. It was through that act of kindness that Buchanan went on to be a twotime Eminent Archon of the chapter and work his way up to eventually being our Eminent Supreme Archon. F&H is proud to announce the following ten brothers as the recipients of the 2009 grant.
