Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future

HONORING OUR PAST
he Colorado Gamma Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon and Colorado State University share a
storied tradition dating back to 1915. From our original founding in 1905 as the Royal and
Infernal Order of the Tree Apes to the present, our proud history speaks for itself through high
academic achievement and leadership within Colorado State University. With more than 2,500
initiates, the Colorado Gamma Chapter has influenced the lives of thousands of men and cultivated
lasting friendships in the process. Many of our best college memories can be traced back to our
SigEp experience.
Many of our Alumni have gone on to very successful and distinguished careers in academics and
education, business, business planning and consulting, investment management, banking, property
management, architecture and engineering, construction and construction machinery, ranching,
agriculture and food production, wine making, property and land development, medicine and
veterinary medicine, pharmaceuticals, politics, athletics and all pro football and Colorado Hall
of Fame and countless other endeavors, the common brotherhood remains along with our shared
principles and values. Most of us trace the beginnings of our success to one place: 121 East
Lake Street.
Through SigEp we not only learned the importance of friendship, knowledge, service, morality, and
excellence, but we acquired valuable assets, which include leadership skills, organizational skills,
social skills, teamwork, and character. Oftentimes, these traits have been integral to our personal
success and helped make us the men we are today.
Our chapter house is clearly the focus of undergraduate life for SigEp. It has been a home away from
home for hundreds of young men and a classroom where our brothers have learned our founding
principles of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love. However, if we wish for Colorado Gamma to
continue its strong presence on the Colorado State campus, we must ensure that we are providing a
safe, modern, and competitive facility. Now is the appropriate time to secure and inspire our future.
