Past Supreme Prior Alvin W. Cohn (Cincinnati, ’53) entered Chapter Eternal on the morning of Friday, January 7, 2022 at the age of 87. Fra Cohn had helped launch Sigma Alpha Mu’s annual leadership conference and served as its chairman for 25 years. He served as Supreme Prior from 1972-1975, an Endowment Fund Trustee (1988-2002), and a Foundation Director. For his exemplary service, he was recognized with our Distinguished Service Award. We have been fortunate to benefit from his philanthropic support of Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation’s Alvin W. Cohn Leadership Development Fund, in which he remained in regular contact with the headquarters about funding leadership development programming efforts. 

Past Supreme Prior Howard Miller shared, “Alvin was one of the smart, hardworking, and kind guys in the fraternity. He didn’t always aspire to the next position but focused on doing good work.” Learn more about PSP Alvin W Cohn (Cincinnati, ’53) by visiting sam.org/cohn
