Dear Incoming Florida Gulf Coast University Student:
“In the arena of human life, the honors and rewards fall to those who show their
good qualities in action.” — Aristotle
Congratulations on your acceptance to Florida Gulf Coast University. Your acceptance suggests
you share many of the same skills and abilities that have served the many thousands of graduates
of FGCU preceding you. Receipt of this letter indicates you have been identified as a candidate for
a prestigious award available to incoming students.
As a current student at FGCU, I have found that successful students are ones who attach
importance to learning and testing leadership skills, applying classroom teachings, and establishing
strong friendships with peers who share similar values. My fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, believes
that learning how to balance roles and activities, like those in college, is one of the most important
life skills one can learn. We believe that recognizing students who exhibit balance and all-around
excellence is one way to promote this important idea. Therefore, we are sponsoring the Balanced
Man Scholarship in the amount of $1300 distributed amongst three or four potential scholars.
Balanced Man Scholarships are being offered to incoming male freshman who have excelled in the
development of a Sound Mind and a Sound Body during their high school careers. Our aim is to
reward men who exemplify the qualities of a leader, scholar, athlete, and gentleman, as we believe
they are essential to leading a balanced life.
Our Florida Omicron chapter has about sixty active members. We have had numerous brothers
hold positions in Student Government as well as many other prestigious leadership positions on
campus and in the community. Proudly, one of our chapter’s founding fathers, Kevin Price,
assisted in the formation of Greek Life here at FGCU just a few short years ago. Currently, we
have several brothers whom are a part of the FGCU Honors Program, and our philanthropy work
has raised over $10,000 while providing numerous hours of community service for The Boys and
Girls Club of Lee County. As a chapter, we are proud of our accomplishments, however we are
always looking to improve ourselves in everything we do.
As the University grows larger and becomes more established, Fraternity and Sorority Life will
continue to flourish at FGCU. Currently, over ten percent of the student population is a member
of a fraternity or sorority—making it difficult to walk around campus without noticing our
collective presence.
To qualify, you must be a male first-year student admitted to Florida Gulf Coast University for the
2015-2016 school year.
Applying for the Balanced Man Scholarship in no way obligates you to join Sigma Phi Epsilon
Fraternity although we do encourage you to consider joining Greek Life during your college
career. Should you have any questions concerning the Balanced Man Scholarship, please contact
me at (561) 385-8982 or at djwarzala4747@eagle.fgcu.edu
Enjoy your last few months of high school and have a great summer. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Dillon J. Warzala
Balanced Man Scholarship Chairman
Sigma Phi Epsilon, Florida Omicron Chapter
