Governance

RSGE is governed by a three person RSGE Committee. The Committee is responsible for adhering to the RSGE Mission and ensuring that brothers have a tournament that is well communicated, organized, timely, and is a great vehicle where Omega brothers can fellowship.

The Commission has a policy of fairness and clarity. In that vein, the Committee operates RSGE as a democracy. Brothers have the right to vote on any and all matters that the Commission allows them to.

The Commissioner

Brother Randle Smith

Brother Smith pledged at Rho Sigma Chapter at Purdue University. He was Dog 6, of the Wild Bunch, that crossed Omega Sands on April 13, 1974.

As "The Commissioner," Brother Smith strives to ensure that RSGE remains open to golfers of any level. He is extremely focused on keeping tournament costs low, making it easily affordable for brothers to have a great weekend of fraternization. Each year RSGE institutes tournament upgrades with the goal on enhancing brothers’ enjoyment. Brother Smith is committed to the continued improvement of RSGE, and to further cementing it’s position as one of the world’s most prestigious golf tournaments.

The Deputy Commissioner

Brother Anthony Freeman

Brother Freeman pledged at Rho Sigma Chapter at Purdue University. He was Dog 5 of the Satin’s First Five that crossed the Omega Sands on December 21, 1976.

Brother Freeman is "the brain behind" RSGE. It is his knowledge and hard work that has taken RSGE from a simple ideal, to one of the most renown golf tournaments worldwide. His dedication and work commitment is the engine that drives RSGE. Beyond the shadow of any doubt, Brother Freeman is the best Deputy Commissioner in the entire FRAT.

The Chief Operating Officer, and Keeper of Finance

Brother Richard Reed

Brother Reed pledged at Rho Sigma Chapter at Purdue University. He was Dog 2, of the Wild Bunch, that crossed Omega Sands on April 13, 1974.

Brother Reed is a relatively recent addition to the RSGE Committee, and his inclusion is one the best decisions that the Committee has made. His RSGE responsibilities range far and wide. He serves a dual role. Most importantly, he is in charge of the money. He sets financial policy, oversees collections and payments, and makes sure the tournament stays on budget. He is also RSGE’s tech guru. He is charge of all aspects of the website (in fact, he built the website). He is a valuable component of RSGE mechanics, and his voice carries significant weight in setting the future direction of the tournament.
