Our mission statement is “Building Balanced Leaders for the World’s Communities.”

Sigma Phi Epsilon, founded in 1901,  is now the largest college fraternity in the nation by membership with more than 13,000 undergraduates in 257 chapters. The national average GPA of SigEp was a remarkable 2.95 in the spring of 2004. That number has continued to rise ever since. Sigma Phi Epsilon strives to make sure that its members appreciate the advantages of having a sound body and mind so as to make sure that when they move on to the next stage of their life, they are the most productive and well-rounded individuals that they can be. As an upcoming college student, one is faced with many new choices about social issues such as drugs and alcohol.

Sigma Phi Epsilon goes to great lengths to educate its members on alcohol and its effects so as to make sure that its members drink responsibly or not at all. Nationally, SigEp is moving towards what we call the “Balanced Man” program. This program is designed to not only make brothers the best young men they can be, but to also help shake off some of the bad press that fraternities receive nationally. Breaking the “Animal House” image that Greek houses hold in this country is a daunting task. We believe that It is worthwhile cause.

Academic performance and scholastic achievement are signs of Sound Minds at work. Reinforcing the value of education and its importance, Sigma Phi Epsilon exists to advance the mission of the college or university where it has a chapter.
