TWELVE YEARS OF SIGMA CHAPTER

It has been 12 years since the establishment of Sigma Chapter. Since then, we've accomplished a lot. We've inducted new hermanos, we've established community service programs, we've raised money for scholarships, we've traveled the world, we've pursued advanced degrees, we've married, and we've brought children into the world.

WHERE IS HERMANO _____?

This section of the Sigma News update covers the whereabouts of a particular Hermano. This edition's section covers Hermanos Jason Rosado and Tom Constabile

Hermano Jason is close to completing his second year at The Bank of New York Mellon. He's been back in New York for almost 2.5 years since his travels around Latin America. At the Bank, Jason is responsible for managing several products which utilize image and web technology to allow customers to make deposits using the images of checks, rather than the originals. Jason lives and works in downtown Manhattan.

Hermano Tom lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Elena and their dog, a boxer named Chica. Tom works for Verizon Wireless in New Jersey, where he focuses on mobile music content and programming. His job has taken him all over the country where he's met some of his musical influences such as Prince and The Fugees! Tom is also founder of an Entertainment Consulting and Music Supervision firm called Up Media, Inc. He's also a freelance writer. Outside of DJing and torturing himself over the New York Knicks, Tom also attempts to play basketball from time to time and is involved in mentoring.
