From office decor to license plates to luggage tags, brothers enjoy displaying their membership in the Fraternity in a variety of ways and take pride in letting everyone know they’re SigEps.
1. This Arkansas-shaped wall hanging featuring his university’s mascot and the SigEp heart, skull and crossbones was made in 2021 by Greg Steed, Central Arkansas ’93. In all, Steed has made 42 similar hangings for Arkansas Zeta brothers and other members of the Fraternity.
2. Tom Wiggins, CalPoly-Pomona ’84, and his wife have had custom SigEp decals made for several of their cars over the years, including their 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland.
3. This handmade plaque displaying SigEp’s shield was a gift to Rev. Marvin Samiano, CalPoly-Pomona ’86.
4. Among other items displayed in his office, Mike Nolan, South Florida ’05, has a framed ode to SigEp in a pattern emulating the American flag.
5. “My wife, Allison, and I started dating freshman year. In 2013, my first valentine from her was this handpainted Founders Badge. It hung in my room at the chapter house all four years and has been in my office ever since.” — Aaron Cromer, Oklahoma State ’16.
6. “In my introductory data science course, I highlight work I did with the Ritual Task Force that led to changes in how we are administering the Ritual. It serves as a prime example of understanding the mechanisms that exist for reporting data, so it’s a very real-world application.” — Matt Dube, Maine ’07.
7. At the conclusion of the 2025 Chicago Carlson Leadership Academy, Sam Moschelli, Lawrence Tech ’00, took a moment to pose beside his personalized license plate before heading home.
8. Jeff Coates, Lawrence Tech ’10, added this SigEp heart, skull and crossbones patch to the disc golf bag he carries to events and tournaments. Coates shared, “I’ve had random brothers on the course spot it and come up to me to compare our times in the Fraternity.”
9. Mike Nolan, South Florida ’05, displays a framed copy of the tile outside SigEp Headquarters engraved with his name, his membership card and manual.
10. “This is my well-worn luggage tag on my laptop backpack. Everywhere I go, a young SigEp will stop me in an airport wanting to talk all things SigEp. Brotherhood for life!” — John Abraham, Cincinnati ’77.
11. This wooden heart was carved by a brother who has since passed away.National board member Scott Carr, California-Santa Barbara ’86, purchased it at a SigEp auction and gifted it to Grand President Brad Nahrstadt, Monmouth ’89. Said Nahrstadt: “Other than my membership certificate and my Grand President’s badge, it means more to me than any other piece of SigEp memorabilia I have. As you can see, it occupies a place of honor in my home office.”
