Founders Day of Giving

As 250,000 brothers around the world celebrate Sigma Phi Epsilon’s 121st birthday, the Fraternity is reaching a new generation of young men with a lifestyle of Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love. Will you step up and support SigEp’s undergraduates today by giving to the Annual Fund? 

Every one of our 12,000+ undergraduate brothers depends on Founders Day donors for the funding needed for the SigEp experience — the Balanced Man Program, Carlson Leadership Academy, Ruck Leadership Institute, Career Coaching, Tragos Quest to Greece and Grand Chapter Conclave. Give now — when it’s needed most — and represent your chapter as we make the largest impact of all fraternities on Founders Day of Giving!

During this year’s record-setting edition of Founders Day of Giving on Nov. 1-2, brothers and friends gave back to the Fraternity’s undergraduates through the Annual Fund.

If you missed Founders Day, don't worry! Make your gift now below to make an impact on our 12,000 undergraduate brothers. 

Chapter Challenge

Founders Day of Giving features a friendly competition among chapters! The chapter with the most donors has 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 receives a custom engraved wrestling-style championship belt. 

The below scoreboards are the official results for the chapter challenge, which closed at 2:59 a.m. Eastern on Nov. 3. Gifts over $5 by unique individuals were counted for the challenge. View the full rules here.
