SigEp’s chapter homes are more than just a place for our undergraduate brothers to stay while attending college. They are where brothers spend the majority of their time outside of class, studying and socializing with other brothers. They are also an extension of the classroom, providing spaces where brothers can engage in conversations with each other, participate in courses taught by faculty fellows, or host programming with university leaders and other organizations.

The chapters highlighted here excel at utilizing their facilities to take advantage of all they have to offer.
