Who We Are

Sigma Phi Epsilon is dedicated to making the fraternity experience relevant to today's college students. We like to have fun, but also recognize that college is a time to achieve our own unique goals. With a brotherhood behind us, our own personal aspirations become much easier to attain.

Sigma Phi Epsilon does not force itself upon its members. Each SigEp has his own, unique identity. Our brothers have been or are RAs, D-I athletes, pre-med students, engineers, classically trained musicians, members of the student government, in ROTC, College Radio DJs and officers on the Inter-Fraternity Council.

Our fraternity supplements the Pitt experience by fostering personal development and brotherhood.

Our Cardinal Virtues: Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love.
  • We lead virtuous lives and always strive for excellence.
  • We practice diligence in all pursuits.
  • Finally, the backbone of our fraternity is the brotherly love we show in supporting one another.

Sigma Phi Epsilon is not your typical fraternity.

No Pledging. No Hazing. Our chapter does not have a pledging system. Instead, each member is a full brother from his first day. Our members are challenged to achieve through our Balanced Man Program.

The Balanced Man Program
The Balanced Man Program (BMP) is a four-year, continuous-development program centered on the Balanced Man ideal. The program seeks to build positive habits and key life skills through mentoring and experiential learning. The BMP matures and evolves as the student's needs progress in college. It helps a man adjust to college life, gives him skills to succeed in college, and prepares him for life after college. Using self reflection, discussion, evaluation, and goal setting, SigEp established the BMP to increase the overall quality of the college experience for its members.
