The Executive Council for the upcoming 2014-2015 school year was selected by the entire brotherhood based on their dedication, attributes and determination to make Eta Lambda the best chapter on campus and continue the prestigious tradition of Sigma Chi at Virginia Tech. The top five consist of: Consul Dow Perkins from Charlottesville, VA (Delta Alpha, spring 2016), Pro Consul Neil Hartman from Ashburn, VA (Delta Beta, spring 2016), Annotator John Miller from Ashburn, VA (Delta Beta, spring 2016), Magister James Giltner from Ashburn, VA (Delta Gamma, spring 2016), and Quaestor Logan Ryder from Sykesville, MD (Delta Alpha, spring 2016). The entire Executive Council will strive for excellence out of themselves along with the rest of the brotherhood and will perform their duties admirably with the chapter’s best intentions in mind.

This year the Fraternity & Sorority Life at Virginia Tech will once again be offering an Fraternal Leaders Institute Experience (FLI) at Smith Mountain Lake to be held three different weekends over the course of the entire year. The FLI experience is meant to increase students’ sense of belonging, cultivate student’s knowledge of being a positive social agent of change, create a sense of global citizenship, and to advance Fraternity & Sorority Life at Virginia Tech. Past participants include Neil Hartman, AJ Cagle, Matthew Hourigan, and Ryan Febles. In Pro Consul Neil Hartman’s words, “FLI gave me the ability to see the strengths and weaknesses across all of Virginia Tech’s Greek Life and work with student leaders so that we can strive for the ideal fraternity and sorority experience at Virginia Tech.” The brothers of Eta Lambda will continue to participate in this invaluable opportunity to enhance Virginia Tech’s Greek Life to even greater heights.
