Every day, the brothers of Gamma Omicron strive to incorporate the values and principles of Stephen J. Boland into our daily lives. His legacy will forever live on.
Stephen J Boland was a magnet. People just seemed to like him and he liked everyone. A confidant of many who helped several through tough times, his Delta Tau Delta brothers described him as someone who had a palpable love of life. While studying abroad in London, Steve spent a lot of time at the Apple Studio hoping he’d have the off chance of meeting one of the Beatles. On December 21, 1988 while returning home from a semester of study abroad through Syracuse University, a bomb went off on his flight, Pan Am 103. Steve lived everyday by his favorite saying, “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” My name is Sarah Whittaker, I am a dual Communication Sciences Disorders and Marketing Management major from Allentown, Pennsylvania and I am honored to look back and act forward in Stephen’s memory.
