Sigma Phi Epsilon

The Maine Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp) at the University of Maine has a rich history of fostering leadership, academic excellence, and personal growth since its founding on campus in 1949. Guided by the national fraternity’s core values of Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love, SigEp Maine Alpha emphasizes a balanced fraternity experience that prioritizes academics, character development, and a commitment to the UMaine and Orono communities. Our chapter hosts various annual events, including community service projects, brotherhood retreats, and alumni networking opportunities, providing members with experiences that encourage both personal and professional development.

One of our signature initiatives is the Balanced Man Program (BMP), a continuous development program designed to help members grow in every aspect of life. The BMP promotes a lifetime of sound mind and sound body by focusing on leadership, academic achievement, and mentorship without a traditional pledging process, allowing new members to immediately engage in chapter life. Joining SigEp Maine Alpha means becoming part of a brotherhood that values academic success, leadership, and lasting friendships. For students seeking a supportive community that promotes both personal and professional growth, SigEp is a place to build lifelong bonds and skills that transcend the college years.
