 On November 1st, 1901, twelve young collegians founded Sigma Phi Epsilon at Richmond College in Richmond, Virginia. They wanted to create a fraternity that was different, one that was based on the love of God and the principles of peace through brotherhood. In less than ten years, Sigma Phi Epsilon had grown from a single chapter to a fraternity with chapters in 21 states and also the District of Columbia. In 1940, after surviving World War I and the great depression, Sig Ep had grown to an amazing 69 active chapters, which included the merge of the Theta Upsilon Omega fraternity. The numbers continued to increase dramatically and by the 1980's, Sigma Phi Epsilon held it's strongest position ever with 250 chapters in 45 states. With 16,000 undergraduates on college campuses, 170,000 initiated members, and more men joining Sig Ep than any other fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon was destined to become the nations largest, strongest, and most popular fraternity in history. Now in the 21st century, celebrating its 100th year anniversary, Sig Ep is setting the example for other fraternities to follow. This is due to our organized and powerful national headquarters, and our successful undergraduates and alumni.
