ABOUT
Our Fraternity Creed
The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.
- John Walter Wayland
Our Brotherhood
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is more than just a fraternity, it's a brotherhood. Our bond extends beyond just the time we spend in college, it's a lifetime commitment to supporting and uplifting one another. We believe that the relationships formed within our fraternity are some of the strongest and most meaningful a person can have. In addition to social and service events, we also have a variety of programs and initiatives designed to strengthen the bond between our members. From our mentorship program, to our annual retreat, to our weekly brotherhood events, we make it a priority to foster a strong sense of community within our chapter. We are proud of the close-knit brotherhood we have built and are committed to supporting and uplifting one another for a lifetime.
Our Philanthropy and Service
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is a fraternity that is dedicated to giving back to our community through philanthropic efforts. Each year, we host a variety of events and fundraisers, including our annual Paddy Murphy Week in late March, to support various charitable organizations like the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, and Be The Match. Our members are passionate about making a positive impact and are committed to making a difference in the world through service and charitable giving.
Our Academics
Sigma Alpha Epsilon places a strong emphasis on academic success. We believe that a strong education is the foundation for a successful future, and we are committed to supporting our members in their academic endeavors. Our chapter has a dedicated scholarship chairman who works closely with our members to provide academic support and resources, such as study groups and tutoring. We also offer incentives and rewards for academic achievement, such as scholarship opportunities and recognition at our annual awards banquet. Our commitment to academics has paid off - our chapter consistently ranks among the top in our university in terms of GPA. We are proud of our members' academic accomplishments and are committed to supporting them in their academic pursuits.
