Hello brothers and friends,
Thank you for visiting the webpage for the Ohio Theta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Our chapter was founded at the University of Cincinnati in 1949 with the mission to graduate balanced men at the university — men of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love.
Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded in 1901 at Richmond College, now the University of Richmond, in Richmond, Va. Since then, SigEp has grown to become one of the largest fraternities in the country. Our founders gave our fraternity the mantra, “This fraternity will be different,” and it has stuck ever since. Structured around continuous member development, a SigEp man never stops challenging the status quo. A desire to leave a legacy of care, compassion, and altruism is at the core of a SigEp’s being — we call it Brotherly Love, our most important value.
In order to make that difference on the world around us, our men also believe in the values of Virtue and Diligence. Strong character and hard work are essential to life as a member of our fraternity. The Ohio Theta chapter has proven its value to the national fraternity. Over this past summer, it was awarded its 14th consecutive Buchanan Cup, breaking the record for the most Buchanan Cups won in a row. While it’s an honor to be recognized for our past accomplishments, our chapter continues to look towards an even brighter future.
We are believers in high ideals and in timeless values. Above all, we are believers that a membership in Sigma Phi Epsilon paired with a University of Cincinnati education prepares our members for great futures. We look forward to hearing from you.
Fraternally,
Douglas Erb
Ohio Theta ’21
