Citizenship

Citizenship is brotherhood to me.

I like to describe the feeling of brotherhood to be the one like the first OSU game of the season. You have been gone for a summer away from your friends and school traditions. You come back for the first game and see everyone you know. You are so excited to see everyone because you don't expect it. You instantly feel known, feel valued, and lose the feeling of being a number. Essentially you feel connected to something larger than yourself.

SigEp is a large fraternity and it is tough to feel connected at first. But once you go to chapters go through the rituals you feel connected. SigEp becomes something more than just an organization you are apart of, it becomes an organization that you are. You live your letters. If you see a brother in a class or across the street and you feel connected. SigEp becomes who you are.

This video describes how I feel about my brotherhood and citizenship. I was raised a SigEp in college and when I graduate I'll remember what I learned. And no matter how far or long I am separated from Ohio Gamma I will still feel connected like I did when I was in undergrad.
