The Legacy of Fra Sidney Guller
(Washington University, ’43)

Sidney Guller Dedicated Alumnus

The Guller Young Scholars Program stands as a permanent tribute to the visionary leadership and extraordinary generosity of Past Supreme Prior and Foundation Director Sidney H. Guller. Once a scholarship recipient himself, Fra Guller dedicated his life to investing in the next generation of leadership—even setting a historic record by attending 70 consecutive national conventions. Through the generosity of the Sidney & Bobette Guller Family Foundation, this program honors his profound love for the fraternity by directly funding grants for young fratres who champion academic discipline and fraternal responsibility.
