SPRING 2019
As SigEp leadership began to think about what should guide SigEp into the future, we were searching for a better version of ourselves. Led by the National Board of Directors, we followed a thoughtful process guided by Richard Spoon, a strategic planning expert and SigEp brother.
SUMMER AND FALL 2019
We engaged hundreds of people — undergraduate and alumni brothers, dedicated volunteers, invested donors and campus partners — who participated in surveys, roundtable discussions and interviews, sharing their invaluable experiences and expertise, giving Fraternity leadership much-needed insight.
We conducted research and analyzed the data from our annual Brotherhood Assessment and beyond. From there, the National Board of Directors worked with the staff to draft the strategic plan’s objectives, goals, strategies and measures.
FEBRUARY 2020
Undergraduate and volunteer leaders provided feedback on a draft of the strategic plan at Carlson Leadership Academies and via webinars. This helped further shape the priorities and plan you see today.
MARCH 2020 – DECEMBER 2020
Rollout of the plan was postponed with the onset of the pandemic, as the Fraternity adapted to meet immediate needs in an ever-evolving environment for our chapters. We learned much from finding new ways to provide support and value to brothers and chapters, and gained renewed clarity in purpose.
2021
Our work to achieve the objectives of the plan persisted. New committees and task forces — Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Mental Health; Growth; Ritual; SigEp Learning Community; Volunteer Development and others — focused on providing recommendations that would shape the goals of the strategic plan. Together with the staff, we are driving progress.
In July 2021, at Grand Chapter Conclave, we reintroduced the priorities of the strategic plan to undergraduate and volunteer leaders and launched an interactive page on the SigEp website where you can view the priorities and under each, its objectives, goals, strategies and live results.
SigEp has life-building, future-shaping, world-changing work to do. Are you in? Learn more about the plan, becoming a volunteer or supporting these efforts.
