When coming to college, I did not want to join any Greek organizations because of the negative stigmas that surround Greek life. It was not until my sophomore year and after meeting one of the brothers through working with New Student Programs that I learned that not all fraternities were like the ones that I had seen in movies. I learned that Sig Ep was made to build men up instead of tear them down, therefore we do not have a pledging process. Instead, we have the balanced man program which gives our brothers continuous improvement throughout their time at college. This program consists of challenges that include creating a LinkedIn profile, resume workshops, applying for internships, fitness challenges, and bonding experiences. Joining this fraternity was the best decision that I have made in my time here at college. It has made me into a well balanced man while also pushing me beyond my limits both academically and professionally.
