Sigma Alpha Epsilon - ΣΑΕ Fraternity at University of California, Berkeley - UCB 1.0 SAE is not doing great. It is actually a really sad scenario. Straight up, the comments below are from friends of mine, and somehow SAE suggests that some other guys are posting. Figures, nobody has ever suggested that SAE has any deep thinkers or cognitive capacity (quite the opposite). SAE has pretty much been focused on svhs issues and going on and on about their self-righteous complaints regarding admonitions. In the time I have been involved in greek life at Cal, I have experienced a culture at SAE that is ill-equipped to handle serious topics and a mentality that views abusers and toxic brothers as "bad apples". It appears that crisis-management conversations within SAE are too often centered around legal liability and public relations — not what the right thing to do is. Prospective members, and sometimes members of leadership, are typically not told about ongoing allegations. Naturally, the secrecy and the lack of true self-reflection within SAE will never lead to change. I have witnessed the disregard for persons of color and LGBTQ+ members, in addition to women. When faced with valid criticism, SAE is incredibly defensive and dismisses valid concerns. Undoubtedly, there will be a member of SAE post about how some other fraternity is posting comments - rather than acknowledge the real issues and focus on real actions to create a better environment within SAE.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon - ΣΑΕ Fraternity at University of California, Berkeley - UCB 1.0 I stopped by a couple of their parties this year ... boring. The review below captures it; these guys are having a difficult time. their parties this year have just been lame. lots of talk about their relationship and rudeness problems. so many issues already. seems like they are really struggling. appears their problems are their own making. Overall, boring, rude, and drama, the trifecta.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon - ΣΑΕ Fraternity at University of California, Berkeley - UCB 1.0 I third the review below, beware -- my friends and I have been avoiding these guys. there have long been concerns about safety and there always seems to be a lot of drama with them. the national group have given them feedback, the campus group has provided feedback, other fraternities and sororities tried to help also, but they just don't seem to be able to be a functional house. this is my fourth and final year at Cal, and this year it already appears there are more concerns about sae.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon - ΣΑΕ Fraternity at University of California, Berkeley - UCB 1.0 SAE has experienced a series of challenges for many years, most recently resulting in being unaffiliated at UC Berkeley. Prior to the beginning of Rush fall 2023, SAE decided to party with a group of freshman and some girls, also went on a outing, and then gave bids early in Rush week and pressured recipients to decide immediately. Several of the guys shared that they felt it was manipulative. Given their ongoing challenges, we know that SAE is desperate to get new members, but their approach continues to alienate them among other frats and srats at Cal. I have posted this information previously on GR, we'll see whether it remains this time, or requires reposting.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon - ΣΑΕ Fraternity at University of California, Berkeley - UCB 1.0 incredibly disgusting and beyond disrespectful behavior. a lot of frats are rude, but their members are not disrespectful enough to physically chuck cans of beer at people because they want to and it get everywhere onto people and hurt them. i’m appalled by their behavior and the fact that they think they can get away with this.
