The Sigma Phi Epsilon Citation is presented to a small, highly-select group of alumni who have achieved uncommon success and stature in their particular professions and careers, and have brought honor to themselves and to their Fraternity. Since the Sigma Phi Epsilon Citation was first presented in 1965, only 273 brothers have received this high honor. At each Grand Chapter Conclave, we add deserving brothers to this select group.
Nominations are accepted on a rolling basis. Log in to mySigEp and submit your nomination here.
