SigEp’s strategic plan builds on all of our success and what sets us apart, because of the people we bring together and the experiences and supportive environments we provide. Our nine priorities seek to impact in these three areas.

GROWTH
SigEp will effectively use year-round recruitment strategies to recruit the most talented, values-aligned men at current and new chapters.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
SigEp chapters will be representative of their campus demographic, offering undergraduate members diverse and inclusive experiences that prepare them for the real world.

VOLUNTEERS
SigEp chapters will be made successful by a diverse group of volunteers, empowered to support a healthy chapter experience and mentor undergraduates.

BALANCED MAN PROGRAM
Every SigEp member will understand and be so excited by the life-changing opportunities afforded through the BMP that they remain in the chapter through graduation and give back as a volunteer and donor.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Every member will have access to coaching, connections and programming that will prepare them to successfully navigate and compete in the job market.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Members will graduate with communication skills, empathy and confidence critical to lead their communities and industries with integrity.

HEALTH & SAFETY
SigEp chapters will be the ideal place for undergraduates to thrive academically, maintain a healthy mind and body, develop life-long friendships, and prepare for life after college.

SIGEP LEARNING COMMUNITIES
SigEp Learning Communities will be, unquestionably, the best student organizations on their respective campuses.

SUBSTANCE-FREE FACILITY SUPPORT
SigEp chapters and alumni and volunteer corporations will embrace and promote their substance-free environment as a differentiator, and each chapter will have the resources needed to thrive under this model.

Our cardinal principles of Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love have guided SigEp for more than 120 years. These are values that stand the test of time — but to be effective, we must continuously reaffirm them through action and resolve. 

Today, we are more determined than ever to build balanced leaders and prepare young men to step up in their chapters, communities and careers. It matters.

Building strong and balanced leaders is something SigEp knows how to do. We have a reputation in the fraternity world for blazing trails and doing what’s necessary to ensure our undergraduate brothers receive the best fraternity experience on their campus — that they are safe and supported, excel academically, are prepared for life after college, develop empathy, and learn to cultivate healthy relationships.

In 2026, we will celebrate 125 years of Sigma Phi Epsilon — a significant milestone that should be commemorated by significant achievement.

It is time to launch a new strategic plan that continues to position us as the leader among fraternities, and even as the leader among all student organizations on our campuses.

With this strategic plan — SigEp at 125 & Beyond — we intend to be disruptive to the fraternity world, and a breath of fresh air to higher education, parents and young men searching for something meaningful on their campus and in their lives. We will build on key differentiators proven to reinforce strong, healthy chapter culture — like the Balanced Man Program, SigEp Learning Communities and substance-free facilities — and break new ground in other areas to provide needed support for members and chapters today.

This is an ambitious plan, but our undergraduates are worthy of the experience it will provide. When we do these things well, SigEp is not only the leader among fraternities, it is the best student organization on every campus. SigEp draws in the best and brightest students the university has to offer. SigEp is the group students want to join — and parents want their son to be a part of — because brothers feel like they belong, excel inside and outside the classroom, and are prepared for life after college. And upon graduation, SigEp is where brothers and friends want to volunteer their time and talents because they see the value in the experience.

As Grand President Billy Maddalon said in the closing moments of Grand Chapter Conclave in 2021, “We often repeat a promise made by our Founders long ago: ‘This Fraternity will be different’. But ‘different’ leaves me yearning for more. In a world full of irrelevance, I wish they had said, ‘This fraternity will matter.’ Because regardless of any plan, that’s job number one … we have to make a positive, measurable difference in the lives of young men, and that difference has to be portable, becoming a lifestyle that follows them after they graduate. In everything we do going forward, that’s our commitment.”
