Every year on November 1, SigEp celebrates more than a century of brotherly love on the date of our founding in 1901. Founders Day is a time when SigEps everywhere can look back on our storied history, celebrate our present success and pave the way for an even brighter future for our 13,000 undergraduate members.
Founders Day of Giving features a friendly competition among chapters! The chapter with the most donors will have their name engraved on the Founders Day Trophy and their school's flag flown over SigEp Headquarters in Richmond. The chapter with the most dollars raised will receive a custom engraved wrestling-style championship belt.
