"I don't like paying for my friends."

Sigma Phi Epsilon does not like paying for their friends either. SigEp is not just a group of friends; Sigma Phi Epsilon is a brotherhood and a family. Membership dues allow SigEp to hold a wide range of social events, intramurals and brotherhood programs. These events are chosen and planned by the brotherhood to ensure money is well spent. Any SigEp brother would agree that the benefits they receive from the brotherhood greatly outweigh the cost of dues. A short list of programs the chapter puts on that dues go towards include:

• Socials with Sororities
• Participating in Greek Week and Homecoming
• Big Annual Parties
• Networking and Academic Programming
• Athletic Tournaments and Events

"I'm concerned about my grades; will joining a fraternity hurt my GPA?"

Becoming a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon is actually likely to help your grades. Sigma Phi Epsilons average GPA is usually in the top standing of all the Fraternities at UCM.The fraternity opens new members up to a network of older brothers who often have taken the same classes and can give valuable academic advice. We also usually have brothers at the library studying during the week. Additionally, any brother whose GPA drops below a 3.0 is required to complete study hours which are tracked by the chapter to encourage better grades. It is also important to remember that your grades are ultimately your own responsibility and every SigEp must balance the fraternity, school, work and fun in their years of college in order to be successful. The average SigEps GPA increases after joining.
