We believe in the Sound Mind & Sound Body lifestyle and the principles of Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love.
We pride ourselves on being balanced men. Though not all of us may be balanced now, that is part of the journey we have set out on. The NYX Chapter aims to assist its members in becoming balanced men.
This Chapter, and any other SigEp that has been founded or rechartered since 1990 is a Balanced Man Chapter. This means that we are a non-pledging, non-hazing chapter; Instead focusing on the tenets of Sound Mind and Body. In our eyes, the young men that we recruit are already on a path to greatness. While some other fraternities seek to break them down through hazing on the promise of "betterment," we seek to build them up. If a recruit receives an offer of membership, the Chapter already sees great potential in them. By building our members up instead of breaking them down, we know that we will all reach the highest echelon: being leaders of the future.
At the 2016 Order of Omega Ceremony, SigEp won the following awards: Excellence in Campus Wide Initiative, Excellence in Member Development, Excellence in Risk Management, Outstanding Chapter Adviser (Kate Mikel), and Outstanding Contribution to the Community (James Toolen).

Also, please feel free to click through the Alumni Section to get a better feel for our alumni's involvement. In that section among other things you will find our 100 Brother Challenge in which we set a target of over nearly 50% alumni participation for our 2014 Fund-Raising Campaign with a goal of $5,000. This is our first time setting such a high goal, but with our updated budget now including 30% of donations going towards Scholarships we feel we are solidifying our ability to reward incoming freshmen and current Brother's for embodying the Balanced Man ideals.
