| Scholarship |
Sigma Alpha Epsilon takes great pride and interest in the scholastic achievements of its members. We realize that the primary goal of any student at University of Southern Mississippi must be the successful completion of his education and we gear our programs for both Brothers and Pledges to achieve this end. Before a man can initiate into ΣΑΕ, he must prove himself scholastically. During pledge education and after initiation, the active brotherhood and alumni aid and encourage the younger members to ensure the best academic performance from the house as a whole. Study groups are formed among members, and tutoring by upper class Brothers is available for those requesting it. We are proud of the recognition that has come to ΣΑΕ throughout our years at USM. We have consistently maintained our position near the top of the scholastic ratings. Our fraternal grade point average has been consistently above the all-mens, all-fraternity, and all-students averages published by the Southern Miss Registrar.
A study by the Department of Health and Welfare has concluded that "Fraternity membership has been clearly associated with persistence to graduation." Hundreds of brothers are currently participating in the student loan program through the national fraternity. Our foundation also sponsors the Residential Educational Advisor Program, which employs graduate students to serve as educational advisors in our chapters. Members of a fraternity are exposed to many different types of people from all over the world, with different backgrounds and different interests. There is no best fraternity, only a best fraternity for each individual. You have the opportunity to be apart of something that spans two countries and is a calculated 2% of all American Citizens. |
