Leadership
It is well known that fraternity members enjoy a much higher involvement in campus and community life than non-fraternity members do. Holding an office in the local chapter is a great experience involving working with a group, and in innovative thinking and problem solving. There is a reason that Greeks enjoy holding 85% of the upper-level executive positions in the "Fortune 500 Companies", and that is because of their experiences they are better qualified in working with people and delegating authority. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge program is designed to help nurture and develop the leadership potential in all of our potential members. Annually, SAE hosts a national leadership school in Chicago, which is open to members from all of our 220+ chapters around the country.
Scholarship
A study by the Department of Health and Welfare has concluded, "Fraternity membership has been clearly associated with persistence to graduation." Hundreds of SAE brothers are currently participating in the student loan program through the national fraternity. Our foundation also sponsors the Residential Educational Advisor Program, which employs graduate students to serve as educational advisors in our chapters.
Fraternity
Brotherhood is the main concept of a fraternity. Some may think that it is just a fun thing to do for four years, while it is, they do not appreciate the fact that when one joins, they join for life. Our over 175 Alumni chapters in the country should be testament to that fact. When in a fraternity, the ties of friendship are usually much stronger than those formed just by living in a residence hall. SAE has had over 280,000 members initiated, more than any other Greek letter organization in the world. How would you like to be next?
Social
During your time with SAE you will be able to participate with the many social gatherings we have, including yearly formal. There are also plenty of mixers with sororities, which are always fun -at a school the size of the U, to have a positive undergraduate experience you must find a way to make the university “small” whether that be through joining a private organization, playing a sport or pursuing a passion within a smaller group, but because the University is so large and you have such a short time here it is imperative that you find a solid group of people that you can share your college experience with and that you can trust and we think that Sigma Alpha Epsilon provides that and more. Membership is for life, the experiences you make and the friendships that are forged in your four short years at the University will last long after you leave this institution and will pay off in dividends in the business world and from a social perspective.
