Welcome to SigEp
The Utah Alpha chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon is located at Utah State University. We take pride in building strong character out of our
brothers. By implementing the
Balanced Man Program, and
recruiting year-round, our fraternity has been a success for
many years by stressing the importance of academics, athletics,
volunteering, leadership, and being gentleman. On behalf of all the brothers at the USU chapter of
Sigma Phi Epsilon, we welcome you to our fraternity website and hope
you find it helpful in understanding our
organization and values.
The Founding of Sigma Phi Epsilon
"This Fraternity will be different; it will be based on the love of God and the principle of peace through brotherhood," said founding brother Carter Ashton Jenkens when asked by faculty why a new fraternity should be created. On November 1, 1901 in Richmond Virginia, 12 founders started what is now Sigma Phi Epsilon. The charter states that its purpose shall be to intensify and perpetuate friendship and promote happiness among its members, to encourage literature and education, and to create such sentiments, mold such opinions, and perform such deeds as shall conduce to the building of a noble and pure manhood.
Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love are the cardinal principles of Sigma Phi Epsilon and represent the Fraternity's core values. Pursuit of the Balanced Man Ideal of Sound Mind and Sound Body is the Fraternity's practice.
SigEp Today
Sigma Phi Epsilon is uniquely positioned among American college fraternities to build the lives of not only its proud brothers, but also the communities in which they live and work. By helping to build balanced leaders of character and clear values, SigEp will greatly impact our world.
