Elected to three-year terms, these leaders don't just oversee our work; they personally invest in it as annual donors and founders of endowed scholarships. We gather for our official annual meeting every year on the Friday before the Sigma Alpha Mu Convention to ensure our brotherhood continues to thrive.
