We are proud to welcome these recent graduates into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon alumni brotherhood. Six of these seniors were founding fathers responsible for reestablishing PA Alpha Zeta. Check out their post-graduation plans, their favorite SAE memories, and the impact the fraternity made on their lives.
Trijal Kaistha – Malvern, PA
Major: Biology (Vertebrae Physiology)
“My favorite memories of SAE are when the six Founders and I were first initiated into this fraternity. Another favorite memory is receiving our chartering, because that was a culmination of 1.5 years of hard work that the founding class and the next class put in. I’m grateful for the memories, brotherhood, and leadership that I gained from being a part of SAE. After graduation, I will be taking a gap year to work in a hospital, but then eventually attend medical school.”

Major: Biology (Neuroscience)
