Damius Collins ’26 is a Senior Art major who joined the chapter in the Fall of 2022. Over the years Damius has found his place in the chapter as someone that tries to makes it as welcoming as possible. He constantly is reaching out to the brothers and is always someone who makes everything feel better after talking to him. No matter if you are struggling and need help or are wanting to joke around and have a great time Mius is truly the best of us and he has made the chapter a better place by being in it.

Knowing how integral to the group Damius has been, I was incredibly curious on what got him to join the chapter and how he feels about it to this day, and his answers certainly didn’t disappoint.

Did you consider Fraternity Life before you came to Monmouth?

“No, I’ve always thought fraternity life was like this the movies. Non-stop partying & title nine cases, but it wasn’t like that at all. It is a close knitted community full of people who want to better themselves.”

Why did you decide to join SigEp?

“I decided that life is too short, and the experiences I could have surrounded by like minded and genuine individual’s would be great for personal growth…  And that’s why I joined SigEp, I felt as though it was worth the love that I am willing to give. A place where I can call home.”

When did you first feel connected to SigEp?

“I first felt connected to SigEp when we had our first Hoop of Steel. It was a very powerful experience that really helped me open up to the brothers around me. It showed me that it’s okay to be vulnerable.”

How do you feel that being a part of SigEp has improved your Life?

“It has allowed me to grow spiritually, mentally, and within the safety of my brothers support. I have took on more things than I ever believed I could and I’m doing well at it. I have grown into a sociable individual.”

What do you think it means to ‘Raise Your Bar’?

“Raise all your expectations and meet them.”

Why would you recommend SigEp?

“God has touched us in ways that really bring out the individual soul of our brotherhood. We are born into this fraternity a child and leave a balanced man.”
