Sigma Alpha Epsilon

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the largest and one of the oldest national social fraternities today, founded on March 9, 1856, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, at the University of Alabama. Another unique aspect of ΣAE is that it is the only national social fraternity founded in the Antebellum South.

ΣAE boasts a substantial list of notable alumni such as the 25th U.S. president William McKinley, NFL Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Faulkner, as well as the most Forbes 500 CEOs out of any social fraternity.

And from our national website:

“As brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, we strive to reach the highest standards of friendship, scholarship, leadership, and service throughout our lives. The values put forth by our Founding Fathers are as relevant today as they were in 1856. And we believe it’s our duty to follow them in order to better ourselves, our brothers, and everyone around us.

Our goal is to give young men the community, culture, guidance, and tools they need to be a True Gentleman. This means having focused principles, strong convictions and the strength to always do the right thing—as a True Gentleman rises above his peers to be a guiding light today and tomorrow.”
