Lee’s Legacy on Sammy Housing

Written by Kenneth Schneider (Chapman, ’10), Director of Development

At the annual Sigma Alpha Mu Convention towards the end of the Saturday evening banquet, everyone is asked to stand. Our host then asks each attendee to sit down after they hear the number of conventions they have attended. You will see volunteers who remain standing well beyond the 30 or 40 year mark which puts to a name one of the distinct members of our brotherhood, Past Supreme Prior Lee Manders (Miami OH, ‘72).

When I was first introduced to Lee in 2014, he served as the Executive Director. At that point, his Sammy story spanned 5 decades. Over that time, he fulfilled the roles of a Field Secretary from ’67-’69 (now known as the Educational Leadership Consultant), volunteered as a Regional Governor (’80-’86), and served on the Octagon including Supreme Prior (’01- ’04). He became the Executive Director in 2009 and President of SAM National Properties (NP) & SAM Property Management (PM) from 2015-2021. He has been retired since January 2022, but remains a consultant for SAM NP/PM. As Lee enters his retirement, his most recent achievement benefiting our fraternity requires our special recognition.

The creation of SAM National Properties (NP), as well as SAM Property Management (PM), was born of necessity. As Past Supreme Prior Andrew Ahitow describes, “Our current housing was rapidly deteriorating and in some cases, local housing corporations were selling properties for a loss to get rid of the responsibility.” The business plan and structure of SAM NP and PM developed through several conversations between the two during Andrew’s time as Supreme Prior. Andrew added, “As the outgoing Executive Director, Lee was instrumental in working alongside me in drafting the business plan.” Once they received support from the stakeholders, Lee went to work with a new approach to fraternity housing.

“We realized that it was more difficult to raise donations for housing deals for several reasons,” explains Lee Manders. “Houses were more expensive; raising private equity is faster. The fraternity is expanding to campuses where we have no alumni.”

The SAM NP and PM are subsidiaries of the Fraternity and these separate entities were created in opposition to requesting donations; instead, raising private investment equity with a guaranteed return allows for a greater amount of funds to be raised by a wider collection of individuals. By framing this support as an investment rather than a simple donation, the NP staff can enable the same supporters with virtuous intent to earn financial returns.

This kick-started a professional entity with the infrastructure and resources necessary to support our undergraduate members. With that collection of private investors, SAM NP can maintain a good balance of equity and debt in housing projects, which makes these ventures more attractive to banks as well. Therefore, the transition from a donation-driven housing focus to a for-profit model began.

Two examples of Lee’s vision and impact can be seen at Mu Theta (University of Southern California) and Beta Gamma (University of Arizona). At USC, Lee’s housing approach allowed the Mu Theta Chapter alumni’s dream of owning a chapter house to become a reality. Since 2013, the Mu Theta Chapter previously called two different facilities home. Steve Jarmus (USC, ‘74), the Chapter Advisor, shared that Lee’s impact was felt early and often. Fra Jarmus shared, “Arranging the early meetings and securing the financing necessary to buy the house would never have happened without Lee’s leadership. We are very grateful!”

The acquisition of this property corresponds with the Mu Theta Chapter recruiting new candidates at some of the highest percentages in our organization over the past 5 years.

Prior to 2017, the Beta Gamma Chapter at the University of Arizona was nomadic, moving from one chapter facility to another on a frequent basis. Active and alumni members of the Beta Gamma Chapter, along with Ian Shore (Arizona, ‘09), former ELC and current head of Beta Gamma Housing Corp, recognized their need for a permanent facility on Greek Row. Ian recalls this effort as a “monumental advancement for Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity on the Arizona campus.”

A chapter house continues to serve as an intrinsic part of the fraternity experience. It is a place to conduct meetings, gather, and develop lasting relationships. Beta Gamma Chapter remains a strong chapter, as Ian Shore recalls, “ the acquisition of this property is a defining moment in our chapter’s history”.

Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity can also celebrate Lee’s vision: the hiring of the next generation of SAM NP professionals including Teresa Wright, President of SAM Property Management, Mike Weiner as Property Manager, and myself, Ken Schneider, as Director of Development, Alumni and Real Estate.

Beyond the addition of staffing, Lee has a few goals for the future of SAM NP and PM. This includes (1) the incorporation of our existing and new house corporations under management with SAM PM, (2) an emphasis on the financial strength and market rental rates, and (3) the expansion of this business model to other interested Greek organizations.

Currently, SAM National Properties and SAM Property Management support 10 different properties throughout North America. In a recent development, Property Management brought on Acacia Fraternity Headquarters as a client, displaying the potential of the model Lee brought forward to the Greek community.

Reflecting on Lee’s legacy within this organization, it becomes clear that he will be a tough person to follow. However, I believe being a former ELC and volunteer myself provides me with the necessary insight into the needs of this organization’s members and alumni. My goal is to aspire to be a consistent and available point of contact for alumni and undergraduates alike as they consider the exciting prospect of housing. Lee has always operated with the best interests of the fraternity in mind and I hope ΣAM will see me as an advocate with a similar level of passion.

Ultimately, the leadership and vision Lee displayed over the past 50 years can not be condensed to one article; However, his impact on housing and the opportunities it provides our Fraternity must be celebrated. With steadfast dedication, he worked long hours changing Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity for the better. As his wife Paula Manders recalls, “family vacations were taken during Fraternity conventions, there were phone calls and emails that needed to be responded to at all hours, having to take time away from family and social obligations”.

“It’s been an honor to have such a deep involvement on so many levels with ΣAM over the years,” shared Fra Manders. We assure you the honor has indeed been ours! Thank you for your service, Fra Manders!

In 2015, SAM NP and PM were formed around the understanding that student housing can be a profitable investment if structured prudently and with today’s college student in mind. The mission of SAM National Properties, LLC is to develop and manage housing for Sigma Alpha Mu Chapters. Greek housing is in high demand due to a shortage of viable fraternity houses, as well as the steady growth (4.8% annual growth) of Greek communities throughout collegiate America over the past ten years. Chapters and their members benefit from having their own “home”, a center of operation, and congregating space to conduct official activities, events, or just socialize. With a prudent financial approach, coupled with conservative managerial and deal-making tactics, we can provide an attractive return.

If you would like to send a personalized thanks to Lee, or learn more about how SAM NP/PM can work for your Chapter, please email ken@sam.org.

State of the Fraternity: Spring 2022 Octagonian

Written By Andy Huston (Minnesota, ’01), Executive Director

The start of the academic year began with a healthy dose of optimism while being prepared to address continued challenges associated with COVID-19. The significance of our ΣAM 2030 strategic plan (available at sam.org/sam-2030) has helped focus our limited resources to expand the mission and impact of Sigma Alpha Mu. Our vision is to transform Sigma Alpha Mu into the first choice of collegians seeking a forward-thinking, inclusive fraternity which enhances the university experience and prepares the fraternity member for a fulfilling life.

Sigma Alpha Mu has 46 active chapters plus 3 interest groups. We started the year with 1,398 undergraduate fratres. We projected that chapters would initiate 825 new members this year and our year-to-date results include 846 candidates reported. While it is nice to meet our expectations, it is better knowing eleven chapters recruited more candidates this year than they have in the past five years and a total of 30 chapters improved their results over last year. Supporting chapter growth is a strategic focus of the ΣAM 2030 plan.

The chapters that have taken advantage of chapter coaching and our growth resources have bolstered membership. The efforts to expand our chapter roll are highlighted on page 14. Our vision has been so resonating that we were just selected first overall to return to NYU (Mu Omicron) in the fall of 2023 among all fraternities seeking to restart a chapter.

The fraternity has worked tirelessly to help chapters navigate the myriad of challenges they face. Many chapters did not hold in-person programming for several semesters. For a college student, that is a lifetime.

This fall we launched our on-demand online education to help chapters prepare to safely host events. As a result, we avoided the uptick of conduct cases that we were anticipating earlier this fall. Our team also created an online, train-the-trainer module for our candidate educational program called True MDH. Similarly, we have received fewer reports of hazing or misconduct associated with candidates. Another approach we have taken to proactively root out hazing has been the TRUTH Campaign (more on page 31) which has likely saved at least one chapter this academic year.

We support our undergraduate members following the impacts of antisemitic incidents on campus, anti-Greek advocacy, and strained mental health. It remains a priority to be responsive to these challenging situations. I’ve been inspired by the perseverance of our students in navigating these challenges. Many have creatively mobilized their communities – as we saw with the Sammy SAFE Box campaign at Alabama – which gives me renewed hope for this generation.

Meanwhile, the fraternity has the vision to build more programs and services for the membership at large. To that end, we need your input and feedback on our 12-minute survey at sam.org/alumnisurvey to design programs and services that support the lifelong membership experience of Sigma Alpha Mu. Your participation is critical.

We are so grateful for our alumni. Hundreds of alumni volunteer to perpetuate the organization. Thousands of alumni give back as donors to the Foundation or investors in housing projects. More than 5,000 alumni participated in our Sammy Stories program. As a result, we have over 3,800 stories collected from alumni about their experiences, memories, and the impact of membership in their lives. Many more alumni still bleed purple and white.

It is clear that Sigma Alpha Mu continues to be a positive force in the lives of its members.

Sammy Expansion

Written by Jerred McCormick, Director of Growth

Growth and expansion are in full swing for Sigma Alpha Mu and the growth team. Since joining headquarter staff in November 2021, I have had the opportunity of connecting with numerous alumni and student leaders at various campuses. I was fortunate enough to inherit a team of outstanding members to work with, but I also get the pleasure of watching them interact and develop leaders throughout their growth and expansion efforts at various levels.

Fall 2021 Expansion Efforts

Syracuse University was the primary focus of the Fall 2021 expansion efforts led by Growth Consultant Uri Nathan (JWU/URI, ‘19). I have had the opportunity to connect with Grant Hamilton (Eta, ‘21) who currently serves as Prior. Grant is a senior Industrial and Interaction design major with a minor in entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises. As a senior returning for a 5th year, Grant was excited for the opportunity to shine as a leader among not only his peers but within the existing Greek community at Syracuse. Since the summer, Grant had expressed interest in this opportunity to restart a new era of Eta at Syracuse and be a pillar within the Greek community. Since their initiation, Grant has been leading efforts at Syracuse to bring Eta into the spotlight and they have since recruited a 14-member class, doubling their numbers since initiation.

Current Expansion Efforts

Current expansion efforts include; the University of Illinois (Rho) and Georgia Southern (Epsilon Rho) Chapters. The expansion process has been a group effort led by Armando Rijo (Growth Consultant), Uri, and myself. The growth team has identified Founding Fathers at both institutions.

At Urbana-Champaign, we secured 7 outstanding leaders from Evanston, IL who were ready to step up and make a difference at the University of Illinois and within the Rho Chapter. Ironically enough, more than half the group have been friends for over a decade, growing up together throughout their grade school years.

They are excited to establish their presence on campus and create change in the community. Specifically, they have engaged within the Chabad and tackled local and state-wide food insecurities as their community service/philanthropic focus. Ethan Morady, a legacy to Sam Morady (Illinois, ‘16) and Uncle Micheal Zaidman (Nebraska, ‘89), has worked with the group from the beginning to gather momentum on campus and bring the greatness back to the University.

Sophomore Sam Moscovitch has taken on the leadership role of Prior and is ready to utilize his leadership skills of being a small business owner from the greater Chicago area and guide the group to success. Weeks before their initiation the group brought on three more members to add to the Founding Fathers group.

Georgia Southern University:

Southern Sammys has been an amazing growth project for the Growth Team. From IFC Recruitment to a large email blast to the university population, we were able to secure 4 gentlemen to attend the mini-recruitment week hosted by HQ and invite them to the organization. With vast personalities in the group, there is a lot of opportunity for collaboration with the greater Statesboro community to make Sigma Alpha Mu great at GSU. With new leaders taking leadership roles at Georgia Southern, they hope to bring a new wave of Fraternity Men on campus as individuals who do not need to flaunt anything but genine personalities and good moral character. We are excited to coach them throughout the remainder of the spring semester and summer to be a top-performing chapter on the Georgia Southern campus.

Interest Groups

I have had the pleasure of connecting with three interest groups; Johnson & Wales University (Epsilon Delta), Western Michigan University (Delta Nu), and Florida State University. The growth team has continued to connect with these gentlemen to get a better assessment of their interests and intentions. We have made it a priority to connect with each respective Fraternity and Sorority Office during campus visits or schedule virtual meetings via Zoom. We were given the opportunity to present for expansion at Johnson & Wales University and are currently waiting to hear back on expansion and recognition. With an interest group of 16 men, we are eager to hear back from the University. Western Michigan University has 4 gentlemen interested in rechartering the Delta Nu Chapter and I am currently connecting with the university administration for possible expansion efforts. Florida State University has an interest group of 4-5 gentlemen with an in-person scheduled visit for early April.

Future Expansion Efforts

Can you feel the excitement in the air for Sigma Alpha Mu? We are working with campus administrations for the upcoming academic year (2022-2023):

Ohio State University (Sigma Beta)

Fall 2022

Cornell University (Beta)

Fall 2022 – Spring 2023

North Carolina State Univ. (Sigma Omega) Spring 2023

University of Rochester (Mu Rho)

Spring 2023

University of Michigan (Sigma Iota)

Spring 2023

If you are looking for ways to get involved in any way and at any chapter for the upcoming academic year, do not hesitate to reach out.

Navigating through the pandemic has challenged us all and the basic operations of Sigma Alpha Mu Chapters were no exception. As we look forward to the growth of our organization in alignment with our vision, it’s important to celebrate the incredible victories of the last year. In addition to now having over 145 certified recruiters and our chapters recording 73% usage and implementation of ChapterBuilder, these and other recruitment successes would not be possible without the support of advisors and the determination of our outstanding undergraduate leaders.

Message from the Foundation President

Written by Bob Weiss (Oklahoma, ’75), Foundation President

Get Involved with Your Foundation

Yes, your Foundation. The Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation is the Foundation that you helped create and sustain since 1944, with our very straightforward mission of being there for today’s Sigma Alpha Mu fratres to help with student aid, educational grants, and scholarships. Last year your Foundation provided more than 140 scholarships to deserving students through our annual Lawrence D. Schaffer Endowed Scholarship Program. In addition, 170 Guller Young Scholar Awards of $500 each were awarded to new Sigma Alpha Mu initiates who achieved a 3.75 or higher GPA during their candidate semester, thanks to our partnership with the Sidney & Bobette Guller Family Foundation.

Your Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation has nineteen Directors all working towards the goal of increasing our financial base to be able to give out more scholarships and grants to our fratres. Each director has a position on an array of different committees including finance, grants, scholarships, investments, and legal. However, the committee that everyone participates in is our Development Committee, under the able leadership of Fra David Phillips. While we have an official committee of four directors, each one of us is also on this committee.

Our strategic plan, which coincides with the Fraternity’s 2030 plan, outlines some aggressive goals of doubling the size of our Foundation’s impact by the end of this decade. We know we can accomplish this goal because every one of you understands what it means to be a Sammy.

One way you can help us achieve our goal is to participate in the Foundation’s 5th Annual Day of Giving on April 27th, when Sammys everywhere will go online to give to the cause. Some people give as little as $10, others $100, $1,000 or more, but every dollar donated helps to support important educational programming for the Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity.

With your help, your Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation can say “yes” to more!

Fraternally,

Bob

Bob and his wife, Tammy live in Edmond, OK. They have two daughters, Nancy and Jennifer. Bob also serves as the Board President of the Jewish Federation of Greater Oklahoma City.
