Sigma Phi Epsilon (Sig Ep) was founded on November 1, 1901 at the University of Richmond. Since that date, Sig Ep has grown to become one of the largest college fraternities in the country.

Annually Sig Ep boasts an undergraduate membership of nearly 12,000 students in chapters located at almost 200 college campuses within the United States. These current undergraduates are among the more than 350,000 brothers who have joined since 1901.

Sig Ep prides itself in being a leader of change in the Fraternity world. Organizational shifts to move away from pledging to the Balanced Man Program and implementing substance-free housing have enabled Sig Ep to redefine the impact of the modern college fraternity for our members.

The Sig Ep National Housing (SENH) staff is committed to supporting the housing initiatives and needs of the Fraternity. The team provides financing, property management, property insurance and general consulting resources to Sig Ep Alumni and Volunteer Corporations (AVCs).

Our staff is made up of more than 50 talented, motivated, adaptable individuals. As a staff that services 350,000 lifetime members, our work is dynamic and flexible to the needs of the day, while still requiring alignment with our future-focused strategic plan to accomplish growth in our impact. As such, our culture can be proudly described as a "startup" culture. We are deeply motivated by our mission, adaptable to the challenges of the day and proud of our ability to spread our impact more and more each year.
