SigEp Member Experience SigEp Member Experience
C
ollege men spend 90 percent of their time outside
the classroom. This means most of their college
experience has nothing to do with what they are
learning behind a desk and everything to do with what
they are learning in the world around them.
Mental health, academic performance, relationships,
and professional preparedness are all common issues
men are faced with when they step foot on campus.
These are issues that no one is meant to face alone.
From lifelong friendships to professional preparedness
and from developing leaders to fostering a mindset
for service, SigEp is providing a member experience
focused on changing the lives of the young men that
choose to spend their 90 percent with SigEp.
Do you know a young man attending the University
of Illinois Urbana-Champaign who would be a great
addition to SigEp? Submit a recruitment referral at:

Recent Research Reinforces
the Importance of
Greek-Letter Organizations
Learn about Volunteer Opportunities
A
recent study found that Fraternity and sorority members were more
likely to succeed in college and beyond than their non-Greek peers.
They are three times more likely to obtain an internship while in college
and two times more likely to have a job waiting for them when they
graduate. Students spend 90% of their time outside the classroom. SigEp
and other Greek-letter organizations capitalize on those hours by preparing
men for success in college and in their futures far beyond what their peers
experience. 83% of members say their confidence in their leadership skills
increased because of their membership. A study of thousands of alumni
of diverse backgrounds shows this holds true regardless of an individual's
background or socioeconomic status entering college.
Behind every great organization is a group of valuable volunteers.
Because of higher expectations, as well as the support and network
fraternities provide, members experience greater gains in learning and
graduate at higher rates than their peers. Volunteers and alumni are
that support, and SigEp could truly not do this incredible work without
that support.
