The Newest Addition to Campus!




The brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon celebrated the construction of a new $1.5 million fraternity house near Kettering University during groundbreaking ceremony February 19.

The new SAE fraternity house will be located at 1509 University, on the corner of University and Mathewson, two blocks east of Kettering.

"This is a major step forward for the Michigan Epsilon chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and for Kettering University," said Sam Hoff '90, president of the Michigan Epsilon Housing Corporation. "SAE has a proud history of academic achievement, campus leadership, community involvement and lifelong friendships among its brothers. With this project, we will build on our past and look to a dynamic new future for SAE at Kettering."

SAE's new fraternity house will sit on a 1.27 acre corner lot and has 7,200 square feet on two stories. It also features a 3,600 square foot walk out basement. The new facility can house up to 31 SAE brothers. There will be a commercial-grade kitchen for student dining. Completion is set for October 2010.

Story by Pat Mroczek and Sam Hoff '90 of SAE

Maybe you joined a fraternity here, maybe not. Today, about half the student body is "Greek", the other half "Gosh Darn Independents". Everyone is welcome at the parties, so I hear. The Kettering University fraternities develop leadership and play a major role in helping the Flint community and our country: food drives, blood drives, working with Habitat for Humanity, tutoring children from the Flint schools, devising exhibits at the Flint Children's Museum, and much more. We are proud of our Greeks and of our GDIs, too!

Many students, Greek or GDI, can afford Kettering's unique co-op education only because of your support. Please consider endowing a scholarship with your name on it through a current gift of $25,000 or in your estate plan.  You can also contribute any amount to the Endowed Scholarship Fund.  

More than ever before, the world needs talented and experienced engineers, physicists, mathematicians and business leaders to meet the challenges of the future.  Thanks for making a difference by your support.

If you live anywhere near the Dallas/Fort Worth area, give me a call. Let's have coffee when I'm in your area March 11 - 17!

Warm regards,

An Enduring Legacy: The Stephen Ward Moore '69 Endowed Scholarship
According to Bonnie J. Moore, her husband Stephen Ward Moore '69, an engineer and well respected leader, believed in treating all people well and helping them reach their true potential. This was true both in the context of his most recent position as COO with Cascade Die Casting Group in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, and also in personal relationships.
