So long as humanity exists, we are bound in an unbreakable bond to each other. That is a pretty powerful statement of what we believe as brothers, as stated in the first line of our creed. As alumni, who have seen so many things change in our lives – friendships that faded, jobs we have left, dreams which never became more than dreams – such a statement, which challenges the postmodern view that everything is transient, that nothing lasts forever, is profound.

Each of us have had to cast away dreams which never matured. Perhaps it was our dream of becoming a baseball player, or an architect, or winning the Nobel Prize in physics. Perhaps it was the dream of marrying our fifth grade crush. Perhaps it was the dream of that big house with the Porsche in the driveway. Looking back upon our lives, we can see the path of dreams preceding us, some realized and some discarded, never taking on meaning.

On behalf of all of our board members and alumni, I want to wish you a merry and blessed Christmas, and a happy and prosperous new year!

I have been fortunate to be able to watch our Chapter grow over these past three years as your Association President, and every day I am reminded that without our alumni, we could never have the successes we have shared.

Brothers, Family, and Friends, first and foremost I would like to thank you for attending this years Founders Day celebration, and for your continue support of our chapter.
