Message from the Chapter President

Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been a cornerstone of my time at UConn, shaping my growth and defining my college experience. From the moment I joined, I was welcomed into a tight-knit community that values scholarship, service, and brotherhood. My fraternity has provided me with opportunities to forge lifelong friendships, grow personally and academically, and make a positive impact on our campus community. I am honored to lead such a great group of men, ensuring that Sigma Alpha Epsilon remains a place where members can thrive, and future brothers can find the same sense of belonging and purpose that I have.
