What is a Fraternity?
A fraternity is a group of men who believe and live by the same set of values, and foster a close friendship through those values. These values bind together not only the current chapter members, but members and alumni throughout the country. Fraternity men incorporate these values in all aspects of their lives, never letting go of those beliefs. Sigma Phi Epsilon's values are Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love.

Why does Sigma Phi Epsilon pride itself on being "different?"
SigEp prides itself on being different because that difference has helped us come to lead the fraternity world. SigEps refuse to be stereotyped as "frat boys," nor its chapters as "animal houses." Sigma Phi Epsilon is dedicated to the idea that a fraternity is much more than a social organization -- it is an institution of higher learning; one that centers around the ideals of allowing one to live his best life.

My son is considering joining a SigEp chapter, what can I expect?
When a young man joins Sigma Phi Epsilon, he immediately finds out he has joined something unique. You should expect he will be involved in the chapter, on campus, and in the community. By your son becoming a SigEp, he will be exposed to a life of balance and encouraged to pursue leadership.

What is the cost of membership in the Fraternity?
To join Sigma Phi Epsilon each member pays a registration fee due within 24 hours of joining. This fee is set by SigEp nationals and is $100. The second payment, of $175, is due within 24 hours of initiation. After the pledge semester members also pay local dues. This money goes into the chapter's operating budget. For our chapter, dues are set at $400 per semester.
In addition, when you join the fraternity, you get the option of moving into the house. Rent is $1475 per semester. If you choose not to live in the house, there are parlor fees of $350 per semester.

What is Sigma Phi Epsilon's stance on hazing?
Sigma Phi Epsilon is clear and concise in its stance against hazing. Hazing is illegal; therefore it has no place in the Fraternity. Sigma Phi Epsilon holds its members to the highest possible standard, so breaking the laws of the country, state, and university will not be tolerated.
Sigma Phi Epsilon truly believes that the words "hazing" and "fraternity" are not interchangeable. SigEp has, for many years, been breaking the stereotype that fraternities haze. The National Fraternity, through programming and leadership opportunities, has promoted the idea of safe and responsible development. Hazing is the direct opposite of everything Sigma Phi Epsilon represents.
