Remember, however, that participating in any worthwhile activity takes time. Research has shown that involved college students are more likely to graduate, and they report greater satisfaction with their college experience. Through fraternity involvement, your will learn how to balance academic work, campus involvement, and social commitments. Other activities can include intramural sports, social events, and additional leadership involvement, just to name a few. Sigma Phi Epsilon believes that the ability to maturely handle alcohol is a skill that our members need to learn.
Alcohol abuse is unhealthy and inconsistent with the ideals of our fraternity.
To prevent alcohol abuse, all of our chapter members are required to be trained in the TIPS alcohol intervention program. The fraternity also sponsors many events, such as intramural sports, recruitment events, and sorority exchanges that are always alcohol free. These men are assisted by their fellow members, a local alumnus who serves as chapter counselor, and a group of volunteers who meet regularly as an alumni board. Frequently, parents of chapter members serve as volunteers as well. Sigma Phi Epsilon offers support, advice, and direction through a paid professional staff and regional volunteers.
