The Arkansas Zeta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity at the University of Central Arkansas was awarded the highest individual chapter honor during its 52nd biannual Conclave in Atlanta, Georgia. The Buchanan Outstanding Chapter Award recognizes chapters that excel in all areas of chapter operations, including academics, recruitment, finances and member development.
SigEp has consistently ranked first in academics and membership among all UCA fraternities. Most recently, the chapter’s cumulative grade point average was 3.25, which exceeds by 0.4 points the University?s interfraternity council average of 2.85. With over 100 members, the chapter maintains active campus and community involvement, serving in active roles with student government, with the University?s new student orientation program, and in philanthropic efforts to raise money for the Fraternity?s national charity, YouthAIDS.
Founded in 1901 in Richmond, Virginia, Sigma Phi Epsilon is the largest collegiate fraternity with more than 14,000 undergraduate members at 260 chapters nationwide. With its commitment of “building balanced leaders for the world’s communities,” the national fraternity devotes nearly $1 million annually to support its educational and developmental programming.
