Taking its name from the eternal impact these donors will make with their gifts, the Legacy Society honors the brothers and friends who choose to remember SigEp in their estate plan. Legacy Society donors have documented planned gifts on file with the Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation.

Types of planned gifts

Investments of cash in SigEp are always appreciated. However, there are other flexible and creative ways to benefit you, your family and Sigma Phi Epsilon. You can leave a legacy with SigEp by creating a trust while you are living or by including the Educational Foundation in your will.

Appreciated securities are an excellent way of funding many of these gifts, often unlocking greater income while eliminating, or at least reducing, capital gains tax. (See the Planned Giving Glossary for a definition of capital gains tax and other relevant terms.)
