In Memoriam

The alumni board is keen to reach out to a deceased brother’s family and express our condolences for their loss and our loss of a brother. If you have any information on a brother who has passed away, please contact us at alumnirecords@sigmapicornell.org.

Honor a Deceased Brother with a Memorial Gift to Educational Foundation

Honor a deceased brother through a tax-deductible $5,500 gift to Mu Chapter Educational Foundation in his memory. Most of the memorial plaques have been funded by groups of alumni. The two most recent plaques were erected to the memory of Dave LeFeve ’60 and Alexander Holiat ’06. Both were funded by solicitations to large groups of brothers, who responded with varying donations that totaled the required $5,500 ($5,000 gift and $500 for the plaque). In each case, a brother stepped forward to lead the drive to raise the money. Please visit the Educational Foundation’s website to learn more about making a memorial gift.
