Updated Construction Photos
More photos of the new house construction are on our Flickr photo stream.
Update from Ken Schneider:
As you can see the drywall is completed and they have started to paint. The trim and the doors are being installed on the second floor. The stone is almost finished on the exterior of the house. The column have been delivered and will be installed soon. The alley/parking lot has been blacktopped and striped. Things are looking good.
New Construction Photos
Ken Schneider took some more photos of the new house a few days ago and we have posted them to Flicker.
From Ken: As you can see they started drywalling the second floor. They will drywall the first floor later this week and the basement next week. They are almost finished with
the stucco on the back of the house and the stone should be completed on the
front of the house later this week.
The house is starting to look awesome! We're sure the brothers are anxious to get moved in.

Fraternity at Trine damaged by fire ruled accidentalFrom Staff Reports (Created: Monday, October 6, 2008 9:06 AM EDT)
ANGOLA - A fire damaged a portion of the first and second floors of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house on the 100 block of South Darling Street on Friday.
The fire, which Angola Fire Department officials determined started on the second floor of the house, was classified to be accidental.
The fire, which started on the second floor was contained to a small section of the first and second floors of the house, said T.R. Hagerty, Angola Fire Department public information officer.
The fire was brought under control less than 15 minutes after firefighters arrived at the scene.
There were no injuries in the incident.
The estimated damage was approximately $5,000, Hagerty said.
Assisting Angola firefighters were the Steuben Township Fire Department, Steuben County Emergency Medical Service, the Steuben County Sheriff's Department, the Angola City Police and Northern Indiana Public Service Co. The Fremont Fire Department was also called in, but the dispatch was disregarded en route to the fire.

Homecoming 2008 Photos
Thanks to everyone who made this year's SigEp homecoming a great success.
It started of right with the Trine football team handed #14 ranked Franklin College a defeat that afternoon in a great football game. With Trine behind in the 4th quarter, they battled back for a 30-27 win.
Afterwards, a good group of alumni were back for festivities at the SigEp house, highlighted by a great buffet of food pulled together by Dayne Haight. Two huge moon-bounce inflatable type things were there for the kids - and adults - as we had the street shut down in front of the 406. All alumni in attendance got a first-hand view of the new house and house nicely it's coming together. It's a facility that we will all be proud of when it's completed.
There is so much more, but for now, here are some photos from Saturday afternoon at the house. Please share your photos! Just leave a comment in this post with a link to any photos you have posted online.
Homecoming this weekend!
