Brothers,

It is with deep sadness that we send this notice. Early this morning we lost another member of our Fraternal Family, Brother Shaun Chapa of Alpha Tau Chapter. Words cannot express the sadness we are all feeling at this moment. For those who had to honor of meeting Brother Chapa, we will be left with the memory of his inviting personality and positive attitude. Brother Chapa served in the US Marine Corps honorably for four years, and in his return to college joined Lambda Theta Phi in the Spring of 2008. He was currently serving our Brotherhood as Texas Sector 2 Vice President. Brother Chapa has touched the hearts of so many around him, may his legacy live on forever and may we never forget the causes that Brother Chapa was always fighting for.

Brothers at this time we must all come together for the family of Brother Chapa in their time of need. He leaves behind a girlfriend and daughter. Let us keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

The National Executive Board has set up a PayPal link to allow for donations for Brother's Chapa's family, this will be sent out shortly.
