Member Testimonials

Joining Sigma Phi Epsilon has been a transformative experience. Since my freshman year, I’ve grown personally and academically while being surrounded by brothers who support me and hold me accountable. The friendships and sense of purpose I’ve found in SigEp will continue to shape me long after college.” — Matt Geraghty

I joined SigEp through the Balanced Man Scholarship process, which immediately showed me the chapter’s strong values and support system. Serving as the SigEp Learning Community officer allowed me to raise academic standards and educate brothers on the virtues of being a Balanced Man. SigEp has helped me grow as a leader and connect with an incredible network of people.” — Neel Sawkar
