Academics
In life, there are unending responsibilities every man
must orchestrate in an order conducive to his lifestyle. A SigEp
always puts scholarship first. This takes responsibility and
diligence. The jump from the broad learning spectrum of secondary
school to the forced life-altering decisions of college is near
impossible without many guides. Our brotherhood provides every angle
of guidance necessary to go from seeker to a leader.
Our mandatory study sessions
for those not making grades, led by our VP-Membership Development, get everybody’s head in the books. Our
Balanced Man scholarship attracts stellar students to our fraternity and continues to put our
chapter above the campus average each year. The GPA required to
remain a member and hold an elected position is a high set bar
that each and every member must clear, but the extra work is a small
price to pay for the life-long benefits of a distinguished scholar.
Sound Mind & Sound Body
The brothers of SigEp are balanced men. Each and every
one takes pride in his ability to attain and maintain a sound body and
mind while reaching for the next level. A man with a sound mind
devotes it to his schoolwork and his community. He betters his mind by
studying hard and shows diligence in applying his intelligence and
mental strength to philanthropic activities in order to help his
fellow man grow with him. A brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon helps his
fellow men in this manner, while also under guidance of his fraternity
to strengthen mental health for a prosperous existence.
SigEps respect their bodies.
Without the body the mind has nothing to function. Not achieving
exceptional shape is to cheat one’s self out of his true potential.
The SigEp devotion to this aspect is proven through constant success
in intramural sports and attendance at the local recreational center.
This Mind and Body combination is what a SigEp is built from. They
begin their fraternal journey exalted in these categories and only
grow with time.
The part of Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity that does not fall under these categories is the
Spirituality. The bonds formed between brothers during rituals are
deeper than the pages of a book. While impossible to emanate, these
bonds are what keeps the empty mind and body together. These ties are
much stronger than time, as is shown by our multiple legacies and
active alumni of our brotherhood. Every day is a good day to be a
SigEp.
