Octagonian Introduction

Sigma Alpha Mu provides a lifetime subscription to The Octagonian to all fratres by providing it online and emailing each member with an email address on file when a new issue is published. If you would like to ensure that you receive a notification each time a new issue is released please update your contact information. There will not be a printed version of the magazine for the Fall-Winter 2020-21 issue. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
