Famous Brothers Make Headlines from SPE National to Local Chapter

There is a long list of famous SigEps, and that’s not surprising. After all, Pennsylvania Delta is a place where we learned leadership and incentive, and that attracts men of character. Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Suess, was a SigEp from Dartmouth. Actor John Goodman pledged at Southwest Missouri State University. Wall Street Journal  Editor Robert Bartley hails from Iowa State University and Kent “Oz” Nelson, retired CEO of UPS, pledged to Ball State. Here at Pennsylvania Delta, we have our very own celebrity alumnus. Brother James McDaniel ’80 is a stage, film, and television actor best known for playing Lt. Arthur Fancy on the television show NYPD Blue. He also created the role of Paul in the hit Lincoln Center play Six Degrees of Separation and played a police officer in the 1990 series Cop Rock. Brother McDaniel was a close advisor to director Spike Lee regarding the activist Malcolm X in the 1992 film Malcolm X. He’s also played Sgt. Jesse Longford in the ABC television series Detroit 1-8-7. We’re proud to call James a Penn Delta Brother.
