Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity
Meeting of the National Board of Directors
April 8 and 9, 2016
San Francisco, California
Substance-Free Housing
Foundation President Hammond provided a report from the North American Interfraternity Council’s (NIC) Alcohol Commission. The Board discussed the report and how substance-free policy would best be implemented and enforced.
National Director Kief moved the Board to mandate substance-free facilities at all newly chartered chapters moving forward. Seconded by National Director Cynthia Love. Motion passed by unanimous 12-0 vote.
Warren confirmed that discussions will continue and a suggested plan of action for fraternity-wide substance-free facilities adoption and budget implications will be presented at the fall meeting.

The truth is that being different is not and will never be easy, but I encourage all SigEps to take on this challenge. Remember, brothers, you have support from SigEp Headquarters, your university, your alumni and your undergraduate brothers at other SigEp chapters across the entire country. I strongly encourage every fraternity chapter at UT embrace the change and help us continue leading the Greek community in the right direction.

Sig Ep nationally is now fully substance-free, and unlike other substance free nationals (Phi Delt, Beta), Sig Ep’s Nationals cops actually enforce the no alcohol policy. Either the chapter have to go completely substance free, or they will get their charter revoked.

SigEp has demonstrated a commitment to creating a new normal for fraternities. In the last two years, SigEp has removed pledging from its membership experience and established substance-free chapter houses as the nationwide standard. We’ve done away with archaic and dangerous activities. We believe these steps were necessary to accomplish our mission of promoting academic excellence and empowering our young men to lead with integrity, not just now but for the rest of their lives. Our entire society as America benefits from a generation of values-based leaders.

SigEp effectively uses year-round recruitment strategies to recruit the most talented, values-aligned students to our chapter. Every SigEp member understands and is so excited by the life-changing opportunities afforded through the pledge-free, substance-free, app-based Balanced Man Program that they remain in our chapter through graduation and give back as a Balanced Man volunteer an alumni. SigEp is made successful by a diverse group of volunteers, empowered to support our healthy, alcohol-free chapter experience and mentor undergraduates. Our SigEp Learning Community is unquestionably not just the best fraternity but the best student organization on campus.

From what I heard from Greeks at other schools is that dry Sig Ep houses are becoming too weak and too woke. Quality guys that would rush in the past are looking at Sig Ep as a service and academic club rather then a social fraternity. It's sad, but their Balance Man Program is hurting their chapters instead of making them strong. So many chapters either disaffiliated or surrendered their charters
