More and more alumni and friends choose to reach beyond their lives to give to the future by making a bequest to the Foundation in their will. Gifts to the Foundation are deductible in determining the value of your estate and can reduce your estate tax liability. If you plan to make a charitable gift by will, please consult with your attorney and be as clear as possible in describing what you want given to whom. 
 
We are grateful to those who name the Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation in their wills and would like the opportunity to thank you both privately and publicly by listing your name on our donors listing.

We honor each donors wishes individually because we appreciate your support.
