What does it take for a newly re-established chapter to earn its SigEp charter? High academic standards, campus involvement and commitment to the local community are all essential to building a SigEp chapter that will stand the test of time. Not satisfied with just meeting the minimum expectations, these recently chartered chapters far exceeded them. Here, we celebrate the chapters that received their charters in 2023.
