Nicholas D’Addabbo (Beta Upsilon/Tau, ’09) Celebrated as Richie H. Williamson Volunteer of the Year Award

August 2025– Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity recognized Nicholas D’Addabbo (Beta Upsilon/Tau, ’09) as the 2025 recipient of the Richard H. Williamson Volunteer of the Year Award. The Fraternity’s operations rely heavily on the time, talent, and treasure of its alumni, who selflessly contribute to the advancement of Sigma Alpha Mu and the enrichment of its members.

The Richard H. Williamson Volunteer of the Year Award is presented annually to the frater whose volunteer efforts and contributions have made a significant difference to Sigma Alpha Mu’s success in accordance with the rules adopted by the Octagon and best exemplifies the dedication and selflessness of the man in whose honor this award has been named.

Fra D’Addabbo has volunteered for Sigma Alpha Mu for ten years, giving himself to the fraternity and helping to enrich the undergraduate experience. As an integral part of SAM’s education programs, Fra D’Addabbo thinks through the lens of the undergraduates in order to maximize our time in delivering impactful programs to help shape, mold, and educate leadership.

Fra D’Addabo has served as chair of both the Chapter Leaders Day and Leadership Conference, and now serves as the Education Chair of the Fraternity, where he intends to continue his involvement.

“I first reconnected with Sigma Alpha Mu as a volunteer by serving under Nick on the CLD Committee.  Nick was warm and welcoming, immediately bringing a neophyte into the planning process.  I was initiated into the volunteer ranks, and found not just an incredible leader, but a good friend along the way,” shared Supreme Prior Benji Bearman (Kappa, ‘97).

Please join us in congratulating Nick D’Addabbo on receiving the 2025 Richard H. Williamson Volunteer of the Year Award for his exceptional impact as a volunteer.
