The Quarterly

On Sunday, March 29, the Mu Pi Chapter at Thomas Jefferson University proudly hosted its 4th Annual Commander’s Brunch, a cherished tradition honoring the past and present Eminent Commanders who have shaped the chapter’s legacy. This year’s event held special significance as the chapter recognized its first official Eminent Commander, Brother Dr. Sean P. Killion. Brother Killion served as Eminent Commander during the chapter’s chartering on December 6, 1996, helping lay the foundation for a brotherhood that recently celebrated its fourth consecutive Rock Chapter honor. For the past 25 years, Brother Killion has faithfully served as Division Commander for the Northeast Beta Division and continues his dedication as Chapter Advisor for Mu Pi. Fellow Founding Father Sean Flanagan introduced Brother Killion and presented him with the Commander’s Badge in recognition of his decades of service, leadership, and unwavering commitment to Sigma Nu. His many honors include Sigma Nu Man of the Year (1998), Division Commander of the Year (2002, 2007, and 2024), and Alumnus of the Biennium (2008). The chapter also recognized outgoing undergraduate Eminent Commander Luke Shriver for his service from November 2024 through December 2025. The Commander’s Brunch once again served as a powerful reminder of Mu Pi’s rich history, enduring traditions, and the lifelong bonds of brotherhood that unite generations of members.

Brother Jason Lyons (Left) of the Mu Pi Chapter at Thomas Jefferson University was recently honored with the 2025 President’s Cup from the Society of Plastics Engineers, recognizing more than 25 years of exceptional service and leadership within the organization. Presented during ANTEC® 2026, the award celebrates Dr. Lyons’s lasting impact as a volunteer leader, innovator, and former SPE President. Professionally, Dr. Lyons serves as Global Market Manager at Arkema, where he has helped develop next-generation materials and earned numerous patents. Brother Lyons currently serves on the Fraternity’s High Council. He was elected Regent-Elect at the 71st Grand Chapter in San Antonio.

In early November, brothers from the Mu Pi Chapter at Thomas Jefferson University continued their commitment to service through the chapter’s ongoing highway cleanup initiative. As part of this regular effort, members hit the streets along Henry Avenue near campus, collecting litter and helping keep their community and roadways clean.

On September 27, brothers from the Mu Pi Chapter at Thomas Jefferson University volunteered at the Rural Development Corporation’s homeless shelter in Vineland, New Jersey, during its annual Family Fall Fest. Eighteen members of the chapter spent the afternoon assisting with activities and engaging with families and children throughout the event. Their energy and enthusiasm made a lasting impression, serving as positive role models and demonstrating the values of teamwork, education, and community service. The organization’s staff expressed deep appreciation for the brothers’ contributions and looks forward to welcoming them back in the future.
