How will I balance my academics with fraternity life?

Our chapter has a high standard for academic achievement and intellectual development. Academic standards and mentorship by upperclassmen within the house give our younger members a support network that encourages them to become involved in pursuits on campus and in the classroom. A GPA of 2.5 is required to join our organization.

​

What is the average cost of living in a fraternity?

We have various costs associated with joining SAE, depending on your membership status and meal plan options. Please contact us for further information regarding dues.

​

How does SAE provide opportunities for leadership?

Your four years spent as a member of SAE will include many opportunities to give back to the house. There is a position for almost everything. From designing gameday sweatshirts to planning our brotherhood retreats, there is no shortage of things that need to be done. Employers look for college students that prove they are capable and competent. Giving back to the fraternity is a great way to do so.

 

Does SAE haze?

SAE is a non-hazing fraternity, plain and simple. We believe in the equal treatment of all brothers and our actions support it. As seen around the country hazing often starts as small suggested or forced actions that often lead to more dangerous and sometimes fatal acts. To ensure that hazing does not occur on any level we have restructured our new member education program by removing the pledging process in its entirety. This, paired with ongoing member education, has created a safe environment that fosters growth and encourages members to live up to our creed, The True Gentleman.

​

What happens after you graduate?

Membership within SAE is for life. Upon graduation you will join the ranks of SAEs in the professional and academic work force that live by the ideals of the True Gentleman to change the world for the better.

The Bucknell chapter of SAE has a very tight-knit relationship with its alumni base. These alumni often prove valuable resources that serve as a network later on in life.
