Seaton’s primary goals as PL are to support the Chapter by strengthening their recruitment and brotherhood development, serve as a resource and mentor, and inspire brothers to fully engage with the Fraternity’s Ritual. Seaton also serves the Fraternity as a member of the Ritual Review Committee, which presented its work at the 2024 Ekklesia in Chicago.
