Sam Johnson II (born July 5, 1984) is an Active Member of Epsilon Eta (EH47) at Eastern Kentucky University. He is currently the Chapter President (since fall 2010) and Technology Chair (since Spring 2010).

Early Fraternity Life and Career

Despite being out of school for about four year, Sam decided to go back to college in the fall of 2008 at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, KY. In the fall of 2009, Sam transferred to Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY to pursue a more specific program in film as well to be around a bigger population of students, and therefor a bigger diversity of students.

During that first fall semester at EKU, a friend wanted to check out an informational meeting on Phi Sigma Pi but didn't want go alone. Sam was reluctant, but went anyway. During that same informational meeting, however, he garnered a liking towards to Brothers and the idea of Phi Sigma Pi's tripod. Enjoying the people of Phi Sigma Pi and having desired to find something on campus to be involved with, he rushed for the rest of the week, became an initiate and then became a Brother in November of 2009.

Collegiate Years at Epsilon Eta

Sam became the chapter's Technology Chair for his first active semester in the spring of 2010. His goal with this position was to make the Technology Chair position relevant and integrated within the Epsilon Eta chapter by keeping the chapter's websites as up-to-date as possible and working with various other committee chairs and officers. In February 2010, Sam worked with the Scholarship Chair to hold a Wiki Event, designed to encourage Brothers to make and update their own wiki page. This event will be held again in the fall 2010 semester. He is also working with the Risk Management Chair in order to create an event to discuss internet and computer safety.

Sam was elected to serve as President for the fall 2010 semester, and was transitioned into the position on April 25 2010, on the day of Epsilon Eta's fourth Founder's Day.

Sam was elected by his Chapter to serve as their delegate at the 2010 Grand Chapter meeting, which took place during the 2010 National Convention. While at the Convention, Sam participated in the two modules that served as the premiere of Leadership in Action, which is a leadership and training certification program. He also used this opportunity to receive certification as a Leadership in Action facilitator, so that he may facilitate modules on a local level.

Honors and Awards

Bigs and Littles

Sam's Big was Kate Steinman until she resigned during the spring 2010 semester. Later that semester he was adopted by Brianna Mauk as the two have gotten along since day one of Sam's initial rush and have since became good friends. She was also the closest of kin to Sam, thus keeping him in the Carver Family and keeping Miranda Westbrook (Big to both Brianna and Kate) as his Grandbig.
