What is happening with SigEP?

.29 I didn’t know sig ep was chill like that!🤙

They’re in more trouble than that. Their Headquarters are on the crazy Balanced Man bullsh_ _! So any alcohol-related issue can be bad news.

They were naughty, naughty boys! 😂

What's "balance man" ?

Balanced Man is the national frat's tool to turn the fraternity into a sober, purity ring club.

SigEp's Balanced Man Program it is a more challenging experience than just pledging. While brothers have the right to membership the day they join, it comes with many responsibilities. Brothers are engaged their entire time in the chapter, not just the first quarter. If brothers do not meet their expectations in each challenge, their membership is lapsed. Furthermore, the Balanced Man Program challenges brothers to provide the best fraternity experience, regardless of what the rest of the campus is doing. SigEp recruits the best men, because it takes self-confidence to not care what other fraternities are saying about you.

A membership review is a process by which a group of alumni interview the current brothers and attempt to identify those who have the desire to be a part of a chapter that would aspire to the ideals of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Those that don't wish to go through the process or are rejected are free to immediately join a fraternity that might be more appropriate to the experience that they seek. SigEp HQ wants nothing more than to avoid a membership review – in the end it is an action of last resort, taken only when all other efforts to guide the chapter in improving its operations over several years had failed.

Curious to know what efforts were made to guide the chapter before the membership review.

In all honesty, if our ban on drinking was the sole reason a potential new member didn't want to join SigEp they likely wouldn't be a good fit for SigEp. Alcohol has become a central focus of fraternity life and we want to demonstrate clearly that SigEp's priorities lie with preparing our men to become confident, values based leaders.

Due to the concern for the safety and well-being of members and guests, the pattern of violations outlined, and the chapter’s unwillingness to implement cultural change, SigEp's National Board of Directors unanimously determined to temporarily suspend the chapter's charter with the support of the chapter's Alumni and Volunteer Corporation (AVC) and in partnership with the University.

Who are you?

Sig Ep doesn't even pledge. You just sign up, download their app and initiate yourself

Not sure where you get your information but to set the record straight the Balanced Man Program actually delays the full initiation of a new member well beyond when that happened under the old pledge program. A pledge program consists of 6 to 10 weeks of learning nonsense facts and includes very little if any further development or education once initiated. The Balanced Man Program is a 4 year development program that sets a young man up for success for his life after college. Sig Ep is one of the nations leading fraternities and if a chapter is not living up to the principles of the Fraternity, we will take action like we did at Michigan, Wisconsin, and Tennessee. It will be done right or it will be closed.

What is this initiation app?

SigEp's award winning BMP App is the next step for the premier student organization on our campus.

After signing into the app, a brother lands on his very own personalized homepage. Here he monitors his progress on BMP challenges and development in live time, examines his percentage of completed activities, and reviews the number of days left in his current challenge. He is able to do all of this at a glance before moving on to another feature of the BMP app. His profile allows him to record and write reflective thoughts on his personal BMP experience. Here he reviews his past, present and future challenges, sees his challenge mentors and contacts them immediately to schedule the next challenge. Additionally he can access the in-app directory of chapter brother profiles so he can see how his brothers are progressing through their challenges, creating more opportunities for chapter competition, friendly rivalvry and encouragement. On his activities page, he can conveniently access a list of challenge activities so that he can mark an activity as complete and then attach photos and documents as evidence. As as member updates his personalized challenge tracker, his challenge coordinator will be notified in real time. Coordinators and vice presidents of member development are able to access a list of all brothers in any given challenge to monitor their individual progress and percentage of completed activities and meetings. Brothers and officers can post to the newsfeed to inform each other about upcoming meetings, events and personal milestones. As you would expect with any social media feature, brothers are able to like and comment on other members’ posts, making the BMP more personal and interactive than ever before. Whether it’s managing personal challenge information, calling or emailing brothers from the in-app directory or exporting meeting and activity due dates to your mobile calendar, the app is SigEp’s all-in-one tool designed to help chapters build brotherhood, pursue the Balanced Man Ideal, and make the most of their SigEp experience.

That Balanced App sounds like a privacy nightmare. What is Sigep nationals doing with all of that data they are collecting?

so what you’re saying is that sig ep is a club, not a fraternity?

Balanced Ep is Club Ep

Does the BMP include supporting brothers and giving them the tools they need to succeed?

Kinky

Fake news

That depends

How much are they selling for?
