How you can pay it forward to our Sigma Alpha Epsilon actives 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is a student-run, living-learning society that advances leadership skills, cultivates innovation, and promotes social responsibility by engaging the Sigma Alpha Epsilon community and its resources through projects, events, and mentorship.  

While active brothers are able to learn and develop through our traditions and amongst each other, it is evident that alumni involvement and connections are far more important now than ever. Brothers of all ages can pay it forward to our actives by choosing to mentor the younger generations.  

Mentoring: 

  • Provides students with experiences and knowledge so they can explore their potential outside of their core coursework. 
  • Prepares students to be future leaders through innovation, collaboration and networking. 
  • Assists with finding internships and first jobs as well as a network to assist in mid-career support 
  • Enables actives to gain unique, meaningful, practical, resume-enhancing experience 
  • Develops leadership skills by starting a new organization that can have a meaningful impact to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon community and college life across the nation 
  • Establishes a network of relationships with students, alumni, faculty, and the administration that will support actives while at Sigma Alpha Epsilon and throughout their career 
  • Builds life-long relationships gained through a living learning organization that goes beyond the years spent at the University of Pennsylvania
  • Enhances personal and professional development through a structured mentoring program that includes students, alumni, and faculty 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon aims to create an environment that promotes mentorship at various levels throughout the University of Pennsylvania community to assist brothers in their personal, academic, and professional development, bringing together students, alumni and faculty.
