Sigma Phi Epsilon

Sigma Phi Epsilon Greek letters
Sigma Phi Epsilon, established in 1901, is one of the nation’s largest fraternities, with over 15,000 undergraduates on 230 campuses across the United States. Its mission is building balanced men, which is achieved through a four-year member development program that has contributed to a fraternity-wide GPA of over 3.0, a focus on the principles of Sound Mind and Sound Body, and service learning efforts that allow members to develop leadership skills while giving back to the community.

SigEp believes in a fraternity experience focused on continuous development, with no pledging and no hazing. Our award-winning Balanced Man Program will help students develop personal, academic, and professional skills. Founded on the idea that “this fraternity will be different,” we’re seeking men with diverse backgrounds, interests, and aspirations to leave a legacy on UConn’s campus by building an experience unlike any other.

Message from the Chapter President

At our chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, we are deeply committed to the ideals of Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love. The bonds I have formed with my brothers during my time here are truly life-changing, rooted in shared values and a relentless drive for personal growth. Together, we challenge one another to live with integrity, excel academically, and develop as leaders. The culture of continuous improvement and unwavering support that defines our brotherhood inspires me daily. As President of Sigma Phi Epsilon, I am humbled to uphold and further this proud tradition for the benefit of current and future brothers.

President: Alejandro Reilly
