SAE is North America’s largest social fraternity with more than 280,000 initiated members. Fraternal symbols include the lion, the phoenix, Minerva, and the fleur-de-lis. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the first fraternity to establish a national headquarters (1929), a national Leadership School (1935), a national Men’s Health Issues Committee (1980), and a career-development program entitled the Leading Edge (1990). Currently, the Fraternity offers a comprehensive member-education program called The True Gentleman Initiative. The Fraternity communicates through The Record magazine, a quarterly publication that has been published continuously since 1880. New members receive a copy of The Phoenix pledge manual for educational development.

SAE is a brotherhood of not only class, values, courtesy and integrity, but also one in which the lives of others are respected. Chapters pride themselves in the common courtesy and genuine care for their guests by walking them home. What other fraternity does this?
Ladies: We're going to get going now, thanks for the great party boys!
SAE: Does anyone need a ride home? We can walk you as well!
Ladies: Sure! No other fraternity on campus has ever offered, thanks Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

..we rock.

A group of men who band together for an everlasting bond of brotherhood. Based on high ideals and the True Gentleman. Started in 1856 and one of the longest running fraternities, and it is the very first started in the deep south, at the University of Alabama. Known also for thier respect towards Women and others.
Wow, that guy is really a gentleman towards the ladies.

Yeah, I hear he is a part of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
