Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded at Richmond College in 1901 on three cardinal principles: Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love. Each brother stands by his oath to be a leader, scholar, athlete and gentleman--ideals of the Balanced Man. Since then, it has grown into the largest undergraduate fraternity in the nation with over 290,000 lifetime members and counting.
Founded at CU in 1904 by one of the fraternity's original founding fathers, the Colorado Alpha chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was the 10th chapter ever established.
