Sigma Alpha Epsilon*
from The Torch 2023
Tennessee Kappa Chapter
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded in 1856 at the University of Alabama under the creed of the True Gentleman. As brothers, we strive to reach the highest standards of friendship, leadership, scholarship, and service.
Founded on the campus here at the University of Tennessee in 1879, brothers on campus continue to challenge one another to become better not just academically but also within the community. With 189 brothers involved with the Tennessee Kappa Chapter as of 2022, SAE is the largest fraternity on campus, therefore, creating a bond unlike any other. John Moseley- former national president of SAE and dean of students at UT- once elegantly remarked that Tennessee Kappa was “the brightest jewel in Minerva’s crown,” and to this day, brothers continue to uphold that legacy.
The bond of Sigma Alpha Epsilon runs deep and extends nationwide, as the teachings of strong convictions, focused principals, and the strength to do the right thing have defined brothers since 1879 and will far exceed one’s collegiate years.
