The quality of the fraternal experience depends entirely on the individual. The more you put in to it, the more you get out of it. For those people dedicated to their Fraternity, their experiences have given them much more than they can ever repay. Sigma Alpha Epsilon exists to provide each member with an unending and ever-growing family, to teach each member how to lead, to cultivate moral and ethical standards and to provide a network of strength and support unparalleled by any other of life's opportunities. It is the goal of every SAE to live as a true man and a gentleman.
Life is a continuous learning process.
Membership in Sigma Alpha Epsilon is likewise a life-long opportunity to learn and to grow as an individual as well as a member of society. Growth as a person, strength of character and wisdom are all the results of learning as much as possible. No better opportunity to learn and to grow will ever be found as is present in Sigma Alpha Epsilon International Fraternity, the Choice of The True Gentleman. Every member of a chapter collegiate learns how to be an effective leader, to organize, manage resources, to function within a group and strengthens responsibility through elected offices and other available positions. The first of its kind to do so, Sigma Alpha Epsilon established a national leadership school in 1935 which has since instructed over 27,000 college men about techniques and styles of leadership and how to deal with commonly encountered chapter situations as well as other topics of concern.
