Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Haunted House
This tale is common within SAE chapters, while different compared to who you hear the legend from and is used to celebrate brotherhood, loyalty, and tradition, especially during events like Paddy Murphy Week and mock funeral processions.
According to legend, Paddy Murphy was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon during the 1920s and became associated with bootlegging and gang activity in Chicago during Prohibition. SAE University of Central Florida's chapter describes Paddy Murphy to have spared a brother's life after direct orders to clean up any loose ends. Murphy was then killed shortly after. However, the tale lives on within the brotherhood, celebrating his life.
At this event, we played up the idea that Paddy Murphy and his mobster pals are brought back to life to celebrate and scare. "Paddy's back!"
