Students Matt Sorbel, Jeff Leary and Patrick Crummie (left to right) exit the Sigma Phi Epsilon house. The fraternity has turned pledging on its head.
The program has resume workshops, etiquette dinners with sororities and “etiquette professionals,” paintball excursions and tours of Pittsburgh to acquaint the younger brothers with the city.
In the fall, the brothers plan to go whitewater rafting and have a “queen of karaoke” competition that will benefit UPMC cancer centers.

The program also focuses heavily on academics. SigEp nationally is the only fraternity with a grade point average of more than 3.0, according to an article from Time Magazine.

Next fall, SigEp plans to implement the Balanced Man scholarship to increase recruitment of people who fit the Balanced Man profile.
Andrew Stryker, SigEp’s vice president of recruitment, said that the scholarship “rewards people with high ideals.”
