What a night at 920 Hillcrest!
On the eve of the 2025 Balanced Man Scholarship Banquet, our chapter house came alive with purpose, pride, and powerful connections.
We hosted an exclusive Finalist Meet & Greet at the newly renovated SigEp house — and the energy was electric. Seventeen of our twenty-four BMS Finalists were in attendance, each one embodying the spirit of the Balanced Man Ideal: leadership, ambition, character, and curiosity.
What made the night so memorable wasn’t just the turnout — it was the atmosphere. Warm, welcoming, and filled with meaningful conversations between finalists, undergraduate brothers, and proud alumni. Everywhere you looked, someone was sharing their story, making a connection, or finding inspiration.
Special thanks to Brother Steve Varselona ’88 and Markus Ketel ’91, whose presence and support made the evening a success.
This event wasn’t just a celebration — it was a preview. A preview of the future of Illinois Epsilon. And based on what we witnessed last night, the future is in phenomenal hands.
Some of these young men will soon become our brothers. A few may become our leaders. All are already part of our SigEp legacy.
As we look ahead to the Balanced Man Scholarship Awards Banquet in the Sky Room this weekend, one thing is clear:
The heart is beating strong — and the future is incredibly bright.
Stay tuned for the full banquet recap and official scholarship announcements!
