Riders of the Purple Sage

Field Secretary Plaque

These two plaques list the Field Secretaries of the Fraternity, fondly known as the “Riders of the Purple Sage.” Since 1913, over 200 brothers have served in this vital role, traveling throughout the U.S. and Canada during the academic year, serving as the main link between the International Fraternity and each of its chapters.

It is the oldest program of its type in the collegiate Greek world.

You can see portraits of these men and read about them here:
