Leaving a Legacy

“When I came to SigEp I didn’t know what I wanted to be or who I wanted to be. As soon as I stepped in the house, I felt a sense of brotherhood and welcoming. It’s given me the ability to empower myself to strive for greatness for the rest of my life.”

You raised the bar for SigEp in 2024!
Thanks to your support, SigEp is helping 12,500 young men on nearly 200 college campuses across the country raise the bar — for themselves, their brothers, and the Fraternity.
I did not fully understand how profound an impact SigEp and our volunteers had on my life until years after graduation. As I stepped into my role as VP of Housing for my home chapter in Wyoming several years ago, I saw just how important our donors and volunteers are to the way our Fraternity changes men’s lives — including mine. Seeing the cumulative impact of our donors and volunteers on our undergraduates at the national level is aweinspiring.
While many young men may spend years finding their place in our rapidly evolving world, SigEps consistently and confidently rise to the occasion as leaders and change-makers on the world stage. Thanks to you, they can build meaningful relationships, seek balance and pursue excellence in every facet of their lives.
Your continued investment in SigEp is vital to ensure the development of not only this generation of undergraduates, but for those in the future to become Balanced Men.
Thank you for investing in them.
Fraternally,

SigEp’s Hallmark National Programs in 2024
2024 Carlson Leadership Academy
2024 Tragos Quest to Greece
Carlson teaches new SigEp executive board officers how to inspire their brothers, manage a committee, and hit their goals. Carlson 2024 featured more officer-specific content, including the rollout of Raise Your Bar — a recruitment campaign that has become a rallying cry and strategic plan for every SigEp.
*Chapter-specific grants often further relieve the cost burden for students to attend Carlson.
2024 Ruck Leadership Institute
SigEp’s history and values anchor a week of in-depth self-reflection, personal leadership development and chapter improvement planning. Ruck scholars also gain a peer group of likeminded leaders at other chapters who become important support systems and lifelong friends.
*40% of Ruck scholars in 2024 received even further donor support through chapter-specific and endowed funds.
99% of this one-of-a-kind study abroad opportunity is funded through the SigEp Educational Foundation Annual Fund.
Greek philosophy, governance and the arts influence the origins of SigEp’s cardinal principles and the Balanced Man ideal. Tragos Quest scholars explored the depths of their self-understanding and committed to building values-driven lives. The program is named for and also made possible in part by a generous commitment from Past Grand President William G. Tragos, Washington in St. Louis ’56, and his late wife, Lilli.
