Sigma Phi Epsilon
Van Buren, AR

I truly believe, “To whom much is given, of him much is required.” What little good I’ve accomplished in life is solely because of God.

After joining Sigma Phi Epsilon, I connected with so many people. I was lucky to be surrounded by so many driven guys who wanted to be great as well. Through the leadership positions I held I learned how to work with people. I learned how to earn their trust, inspire a shared vision, and enable others.

I’ll never forget bid day of my senior year at BTÌìÌÃwhen my brother, J.B., joined SigEp. As president, I wanted to give all of the new members the best experience and tools to be successful at BTÌìÌÃand beyond. Having my younger brother join the chapter was just extra motivation to deliver that experience for them.

I’ve carried many things I learned in the BTÌìÌÃclassroom into my career. I’m thankful for my professors and my overall experience at UCA. My family and friends have always been in my corner, and I try to give them my best. J.B. and I work three different businesses together, and I am very passionate about each one. It’s an enormous challenge, and there’s always something to be done, which keeps me busy.

My Greek experience was more than I would’ve imagined and at times, surreal.

Alpha Sigma Alpha
Washington D.C.

“My Greek affiliation taught me a lot about myself. I developed a love for philanthropy and gained lifelong relationships. Alpha Sigma Alpha and Panhellenic taught me how to work with others and to stand up for what you believe in.

Education is extremely important to me, and it is the key to the success of our nation. As a teacher I provide students with the necessary means to succeed in life. I’m very passionate about the progress of every child in our country.

With my education from UCA, I was able to begin my career as an elementary teacher in Little Rock at eStem Public Charter School. I now live in Washington D.C. with my fiancé and teach second grade at Walker-Jones Education Campus.

I have taken the core values of Alpha Sigma Alpha into my daily life after college by loving life and joyously living each day to its ultimate good. Alpha Sig taught me how to develop relationships and work well with people from other backgrounds. In my career this is a very important quality.

One of my favorite memories would be opening my bid card and running to the Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter room. I had no idea what an honor I had been given.

My Greek experience was life-changing.

Zach Helms ’15
Pi Kappa Alpha
Brooklyn, NY

“Working at a cancer center is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. At times, it all seems too big for me. But I remind myself of the lessons I learned at my Alma Mater. The only way to accomplish something extraordinary is to understand all the pieces, and there are always people around who can make it all a little easier. Asking for help seems hard until you do it, but I’ve never once regretted asking. My favorite memories at BTÌìÌÃstarted with a question, and my strongest friendships started with some sound advice.

I get a text or a call from at least one of my brothers every day. Sometimes they need something. Sometimes they ask if I need anything. That’s what a fraternity is: a bunch of guys who aren’t afraid to ask you for anything, but who worry that you’ll be too polite to do the same.

Living in Brooklyn has made me appreciate what it means to be southern—to embrace tradition and heritage so deeply that it warms the people around you.”

My Greek experience was more than I expected.
