The campus evaluation metrics below are objective measures utilized to determine if a campus and alumni demonstrate the necessary factors for the successful return of a SigEp chapter.

If you’re interested in SigEp returning to your campus, please work with the relevant university staff member to complete these evaluation metrics. Submit final metrics to Director of Expansion Braden Botkin.

After these have been review, the Headquarters staff will schedule a time to share their assessment of campus with you.
