Eastman Twins Grow as Individuals and Find Independence Pledging SPDJake and Josh Eastman Use Fraternity Life to Break Out of Their Comfort Zones

Fraternal twins Josh and Jake Eastman are the second set of twins to pledge SPD this year. The brothers both joined the Beta-Omicron Chapter at University of Missouri, also known as Mizzou.

“The most interesting thing about joining Sigma Phi is how we have grown individually through the process,” said Josh Eastman. “For one of the first times, I’ve seen us expand socially and professionally in ways very independent of each other.”

“Don’t let the stresses of school get to you,” he advises today’s students. “Learn when to take a break from studying and go have some fun with friends (but don’t forget to study entirely). Also, join Sigma Phi Delta!”

Well, this year, Sigma Phi Delta had not one, but two sets of twins pledge the fraternity, including Blake and Austin Mouradian.

The identical twins were born and raised in San Diego, California. Both developed an interest in engineering during their time at Scripps Ranch High School, and they both applied for just two schools: San Diego State University and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

At Risk Chapter Now Thriving Thanks to Innovative Recruiting MethodsOn November 13, the Beta-Kappa Chapter at Lehigh University initiated eight of the brightest young men you’ll ever meet into the Brotherhood. The Theta class was the product of my third semester as our chapter’s recruitment chairman, and of our first semester since implementing Brother Acton’s Dynamic Recruitment model.
