There
are many advantages to joining SigEp at Miami:
ACADEMICS
The academic portion of your university career is a significant
determinant in your future success. The primary purpose of the
fraternity system is to encourage and develop high scholastic
achievement among its members. Nationally, just over 50% of
college students end up graduating. However, fraternity members have
over a 70% graduation rate. SigEp is no different; we all strive
to reach our own academic goals, and with the help of the
fraternity and the brothers, it is much easier to accomplish.
What makes SigEp different from all others on our campus is our
grade policy and scholarship program. SigEp has ranked either
first or second in GPA of all fraternities on campus since 2001
and boasts a GPA over the all-campus average (3.23). Classes for Miami University credit have also been offered in the house living room, providing an intimate educational opportunity for brothers and Miami students alike.
ATHLETICS
Fraternities participate in many competitive sports through
intramural events. Coordinated with the idea that a Sound Body
is necessary to be a Balanced Man, SigEp boasts Athletes of
various sports and strives for the best. We field teams in every
sport and currently compete in the highest division of Fraternity athletics, Division I.
This past fall, Ohio Eta finished in the Top 5 among fraternities for Greek Week. Joining SigEp allows for the
opportunity to make a difference in athletics.
SOCIAL
Another major part of college and the Greek System is social
life. SigEp offers its members a filled social calendar,
participating in social events with sororities,
sorority/fraternity philanthropy contests and athletic events,
and building strong brotherhood through various activities at or
around Miami's campus. This past fall, we had a semi-formal dinner at the Embassy Suites in downtown Cincinnati. We will travel to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for our annual formal celebration in the spring.
LEADERSHIP
Upon joining a fraternity, many take on leadership positions,
whether it be an officer, committee head, or just a participant.
You will learn how to run meetings, speak in public, motivate
others, and other skills that help mold people into leaders.
Since it takes more than a degree to get a job, these leadership
skills can help you acheive just that. SigEps hold many positions across
campus in various organizations such as IFC, Program Board, and departmental Student Advisory Councils. Furthermore, having positions such as a Career Development Chair help aid brothers in seeking the knowledge to give them the greatest advantage in becoming tomorrow's leaders.
BROTHERHOOD
Brotherhood is what truly defines a fraternity. As a brother, the friendships which are formed
are unlike those found in any other organization. Through
activities such as brotherhood gatherings, social events, and
athletics, you will make life long friends with men who share
the same ideals as yourself. The brothers of SigEp hold the
cardinal principle of Brotherly Love sacred. Our brothers are
there for each other in times of trouble and celebrate together
in times of joy. Family spirit and tradition within the fraternity is very important. We host weekly brotherhood dinners, as well as trips to
Reds games, Miami baseball games, and cookouts with different
sororities.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
We are committed to helping and improving the community in which
we live. Whether it be hosting our own philanthropic events,
participating in others, or helping build a home for a needy
family, SigEp strives to help the Oxford and surrounding
community. We currently host a dodgeball tournament in the spring that benefits those who have been affected by the genocidal oppression in Darfur. Last year, the tournament was capped in uptown Oxford with a live musical performance and celebration.
...and
we recruit all year long!!
