Phi Chapter Shows Strength of True Brotherhood By David Komoroski, Delta Pi ’11 (University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown)

I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to the brothers of Phi Chapter at Southeastern Louisiana University for their incredible display of hospitality and generosity. Recently, I was selected to serve a 10-month AmeriCorps term with St. Bernard Project, a non-profit homebuilder that began in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. I left home with only a pickup truck full of belongings and the phone number of Phi Chapter’s then president, Mark Mauer. During my 1,200-mile journey, I camped at state parks and rest stops before making my way to Hammond, La., just an hour outside of New Orleans. Having never been to that part of the country before, I had hoped to stay with Phi Chapter for a night and arrange for a temporary hotel stay in the city on the next night.

Upon my arrival, the brothers of the Phi Chapter not only welcomed this disheveled stranger into their house, but also paid for my meals, arranged for a much-needed shower, and introduced me to a Phi alumni-owned tavern called the Crescent. Plans to stay for one night turned into two, and then three. My apprehensions about a new job in a new city were eased. Several brothers offered up their own houses and apartments as potential residences. One even called his parents in expectation of my arrival. And in a matter of hours, complete strangers became trusted friends.

I left Southeastern Louisiana University with many new friends and a full belly. It can’t be stated how much the latter was appreciated. When I arrived in New Orleans, I told my coworkers about my travels. They chalked it up to that storied Southern hospitality, but I have my own theory. What I experienced during those three days was the truest example of Brotherhood. To Mark Mauer and the brothers of Phi Chapter, you have my utmost respect and fraternal love. I hope to visit again soon. But this time, I’ll bring the crawfish.

I believed that and practiced it throughout my years on the board.

We served together for many years on the Foundation board and his advice and practice was the same.

Foundation News

White Rose Heritage Courtyard Bricks Now Available with Renewed Interest Located on the Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity Headquarters campus in Warrensburg, Mo. is the White Rose Pavilion and Courtyard. The White Rose Courtyard pathways feature commemorative engraved bricks.

In 2001, the Sigma Tau Gamma Foundation incorporated engraved recognition products into its fundraising campaign. During this time, many members purchased the engraved bricks for themselves, a relative or a fraternity brother. Sweetheart bricks for wives, mothers, sisters and significant others also line the pathways. Because of the renewed interest in the White Rose Heritage Courtyard Brick Program, the Foundation decided to bring it back beginning December 2011.

You can once again claim your place in the White Rose Courtyard by filling out the Brick by Brick order form, which is available on our website, then mail it back to Headquarters or email it directly to LeAnn Bylo, development officer, at [email protected] with a gift to the Foundation of $175. You can also place your order over the phone by calling the Headquarters at 660-747-2222. Proceeds from the bricks assist this project as well as help fund other Sig Tau leadership and citizenship programs.

Bricks are inscribed with the individual’s name, chapter and initiation year. Sweetheart bricks feature a silhouette of a white rose and the individual’s name. In addition to securing your place along the courtyard pathway, you will receive a color rendering of the inscribed brick in a walnut-stained frame that is equipped with an easel back for display on a wall or shelf. These make great gifts, especially for birthdays or graduating seniors, as well as serve as memorials for those we have lost but not forgotten.
