About Us

The SD Theta Alumni Association was chartered by Sigma Alpha Epsilon in 1975 as the SD Theta $1/Year Alumni Association. The programs of the alumni association are funded entirely by your membership dues in the $1/Year Club. The membership dues are $1 for each year since your graduation with the annual membership running from Hobo Day to Hobo Day.

Join your fellow alumni by assisting SD Theta and the $1/Year Club

The Alumni Association assists the active chapter with its alumni relations program. We provide help with planning and programming for Hobo Day and Founders' Day along with publication of its newsletter, "Thoughts from SD Theta", and "e-Thoughts" our electronic newsletter. We also make available an annual directory to help alumni keep in touch by the mail, by email or by phone. We are also working on continuing education projects through our weekend alumni workshops and career networking assistance.
