My Platform
Recruitment
We must identify men earlier that will become True Gentlemen and use strategies to identify today’s members as tomorrow’s leaders.
Education
We have to return to the basics of education and have our members understand why our 169 Years of history are important.
Ritual
We must prioritize the very thing that makes us who we are. Ritual is the foundation of our Fraternity and should be the biggest focus of conversation and education.

I have the distinct privilege of endorsing Brother John Deas for the position of Eminent Supreme Chronicler and I am asking each of you delegates to vote for John.
I have known John for over a decade and I have personally observed his fraternal dedication, his collegiality, his foresight and his enthusiasm during that same period of time.
His numerous exemplary fraternity credentials speak for themselves and they bespeak his noble intent and perseverance.
We elect brothers to the Supreme Council requiring those five brothers to adhere to the highest principles of the True Gentleman creed themselves but also hold as sacred all the higher ideals of the fraternity itself.
JOHN DEAS IS THAT BROTHER.
Please join me TO ELECT JOHN AS OUR NEW EMINENT SUPREME CHRONICLER

What you will get from John as a member of the Supreme Council is absolute honesty, integrity, and commitment to his word and promises. He will fight for our chapters to exist on campuses where they want to ban Greek letter organizations or restrict our rights to co-exist peacefully. Yet, he stands for high ideals and will be a leader who expects all SAEs to set the bar high, be True Gentlemen, grow our undergraduate and alumni ranks, and re-position ourselves as the greatest fraternity in America.

While I served as Eminent Warden and Property Manager, John was always there to support me, offering wisdom and advice whenever needed. His passion for the brotherhood experience, both in college and beyond, shines through in everything he does. John’s dedication to fostering a strong, supportive community makes him the ideal candidate, and I am confident he will continue to be an incredible mentor to others.

John's extensive experience with SAE would greatly benefit our Supreme Council. We need his leadership to develop True Gentlemen across chapters nationwide.
