After ousting 55 members last year, Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, 524 Locust Lane, has reorganized and is now in the process of rebuilding. As part of this rebuilding process, the fraternity has established several new scholarships.This is a pretty good article. All the Sig Ep "talking points" got in.

Dan Hadas, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said the "Balanced Man Ideal" is helping the fraternity's rebuilding process.
"We want to build leaders and develop them," he said. "We pride ourselves on being different and striving to break the mold. We want to be the best and lead the greek community."
Hadas said there are now 50 total members in the Penn State chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, after retaining only 12 members after the chapter's review last semester.
Ontell said to better the fraternity, community and campus leaders are brought in to speak and give presentations to the members of the fraternity. The fraternity also has acquired a resident scholar.
