After 40 years of pledgeship, LA Epsilon initiates 6 into the brotherhood!!!  

Since the mission of Louisiana Epsilon Alumni Association is to bring all the gang back together again, we formally initiated some of our brothers who were swept ashore by the tidal wave of fun that was LSU and Louisiana Epsilon before they could reach the beach of formal initiation.  All these guys are a vital part of our group and are a big part of everyone's collective memories of our days at the E-Lodge.  Good citizens, good friends, and true brothers all!  So, just like the Marines, we leave no man behind!

  Both the Louisiana Epsilon chapter of SAE and the Louisiana Epsilon Alumni Association of SAE co-hosted a formal initiation ceremony which finally initiated six brothers who pledged the chapter in the 1980s but were never initiated due to various reasons. Even though these brothers were not formally initiated during their LSU years, they all contributed greatly to the fraternity over the years by sponsoring the SAE World Series softball tournament, enthusiastically attending alumni events, and assisting the active chapter over many decades. Their continued dedication and service to SAE fraternity and the LSU chapter has not gone unnoticed and the time had come for them to be formally initiated.

  The Supreme Council of SAE approved Todd M. Brady, Fred C. Dent III, Christopher W. Dorion, John S. Gutierrez, Michael C. Horn, and Neal T. McMahon to be formally initiated into the Louisiana Epsilon chapter of SAE.     The ceremony was performed on Sunday, December 17th in a “secret upstairs room” at Crescent City Steakhouse in New Orleans by an official SAE ritual team. We had Louisiana Epsilon alumni come in from around the state and even had a few alumni from out of state.  We also had a group of actives from the chapter come in to participate in the initiation ceremony and lend us a hand.  Special thanks to chapter advisor, Ken Denny, who officiated the ceremony, and to Geary Mason who coordinated with the National SAE office to make this event possible.

   The initiation ceremony was followed by dinner, drinks, fellowship, and a general good time all everyone that attended.  Mission accomplished!
