Two Houses, One Brotherhood
Photos and Writing by Andy Johnson
The Mu Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu is a fraternity at Washington State University in Pullman, WA. The chapter has been at the university for almost four years, making it one of the newest organizations on campus. Because of the status they possess as youngsters in the WSU Greek Community, the men of Mu Zeta have been faced with more hurdles than the average fraternity man may ever experience. The burden of constructing a fraternity from the ground up has been placed on the shoulders of men who are willing and able to put all they have toward bettering themselves and those around them. The men of Mu Zeta hope to create an institution that benefits generations of college males yet to arrive. It has been a laborious journey that continues to be fueled by nothing other than love.
This house is known as "Whiskey." It was the first property rented by the Mu Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu.
This is the second house acquired by Sigma Alpha Mu at Washington State University. Here is where formal events take place.
Mu Zeta recieved its first national award for its record setting food drive. The food drive is now a bi-annual philanthropy.
Paddles might not be used for slapping people around, but they make for a great reminder of the brotherhood that these men are constructing.
A member's truck is seen sporting the Sigma Alpha Mu letters and crest. Members must earn the right to display their allegiance.
One member is seen helping load groceries into a car at Sigma Alpha Mu's annual food drive. The food drive is Mu Zeta's biggest and most successful event.
More than one dozen carts of food were collected at this year's food drive.

The guys wait to fill their stomachs with food after a long day of brotherhood and philanthropy.
The men of Sigma Alpha Mu are committed to bettering their community at all costs. Brotherhood and service to others is what keeps them motivated.
