Comment:  Overview: Although they’ve been known as the “nice guy” frat with a huge academic focus for a while, it feels like SigEp has started to switch its goals as they came back from their minor absence on campus last semester and have definitely improved their social standing substantially. They haven’t really competed with other frats for new guys, as they have honestly one of the best bids given-to-bids accepted ratios. And surprisingly this new class looks to be a bit of a mold-breaking class for them. Why they’re unique: As previously stated, SigEp is definitely the top of the “nice guy” frats (which are probably Delt, SAE, Zeta etc), just for their ability to party. They did have a few issues last semester but their house is one of the best size-wise and they’ve really started to go all out with this champagne shower thing. Also, since they are knows as a “nice guy” frat, they rarely are at risk from getting hit with any sanctions by the school. SigEp is also by far the biggest frat on campus, with about 20 more people than the next two biggest, Delt and DChi. Literally walk on campus for 10 minutes and you’ll definitely have seen a SigEp. Shortcomings: One huge issue with SigEp which makes is a little bit of a reach to put them here is the fact that they don’t mix with any of the top sororities. They really seem content to mix with AXID, Phi Sig and even Phi Mu semester after semester. That’s a bit confusing to me why they haven’t pushed to mix with top sororities when the AEPIs and SigChis of the world are able to get mixers with them semester after semester. Their issues with their house last semester definitely set them back a bit socially as well, the social aspect always being a bit of a setback for the frat. Summary: SigEp knows the type of guys they want and constantly go after them and are able to lock them down quick. They effectively destroyed SAE apparently by taking half(? Not sure the exact number) of the kids SAE bid this semester. However, social shortcomings in terms of mixers means that they really can’t be considered a “top” frat just yet. Great guys though!
