Fraternity Info

Sigma Phi Epsilon

Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded with the cardinal principles of virtue, diligence and brotherly love. The mission is “Building Balanced Men”, which is achieved through a commitment to sound mind and sound body. SigEp revolutionized the fraternity movement in 1991 by unveiling the Balanced Man Program, a concept of single-tiered membership and continuous development that begins the day a member joins. Based on equal rights and responsibilities for all members, the program’s progressive challenges provide brothers the opportunity to grow and fine-tune skills alongside what is provided in the classroom.

Through espousing common values such as friendship, scholarship, integrity and respect, Phi Gam strives every day to create a positive vision for Greek life not just at USU, but all around North America.

Pi Kappa Alpha

Since June 11, 1925, Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE) at Utah State University has aimed to develop its members into the highest caliber of Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen. Pi Kappa Alpha is one of the nation’s largest fraternities with over 300,000 lifetime initiates and over 220 chapters worldwide. Originally founded at the University of Virginia in 1868, the fraternity has committed to setting “the standard of integrity, intellect, and achievement for our members, host institutions, and the communities in which we live.” Our chapter boasts a proud history of philanthropy with Primary Children’s Hospital; in conjunction with USU’s Aggiethon Dance Marathon, our chapter raised almost $5,000 and is the highest fundraising student team four years running. Pi Kappa Alpha is dedicated to bettering the college experience of all our members and preparing them for excellence in the years to come. 

Alpha Sigma Phi

Alpha Sigma Phi (or Alpha Sig) chartered at Utah State in 2017. Our mission is to provide values-driven brotherhood experiences through life. Our vision is to “Better the World through Better Men.” And our purpose is to Better the Man, through the creation and perpetuation of brotherhood founded upon the values of character: Silence, Charity, Purity, Honor, Patriotism. Alpha Sig is not interested in only becoming the fraternity of choice, for this perspective unnecessarily narrows our recruitment efforts to those inclined to go Greek. We instead, will be focused on appealing to a broader base of undergraduate men, thereby competing directly with other activities and organizations on today's campuses. By so doing, help to attract the very best and brightest undergraduate men.

Common Questions

How Do I Join?

The majority of men who choose to join a fraternity choose to do so during recruitment week. Recruitment is conducted early in the fall semester. This process allows men to meet and interact with each chapter in a informal setting. It is important to meet members from each chapter so you are able to get to know the people and the organization.

During this week each chapter will hold nightly events designed to show perspective men what fraternity life is like and introduce them to the current membership. Every perspective member is encouraged to attend events from as many chapters as possible in order to find the organization they feel is the best fit for them.

How Does the Rush/Recruitment Process Work?

Receiving a bid

During recruitment week, there are a series of events designed to allow interested students and the chapter members a chance to get to know each other. Through their own individual process, each chapter will decide on individuals they will extend a bid to. A bid is a formal invitation to pledge a fraternity.

Pledging

Once a bid has been accepted, the individual will become a pledge for that organization. Pledging generally ranges from 8-10 weeks, however it is important to remember that every chapter has its own unique system that may be quite different from another chapter.

Hazing

Utah State and the men's Inter-Fraternal council adhere to a strict zero tolerance policy on hazing. If you have any questions regarding what constitutes hazing or if you feel you have been a victim of hazing please contact the SILC office at 435-797-2912.

Who is eligible for recruitment?

All men enrolled in school at USU are eligible to participate in recruitment and affiliate with a fraternity. Each individual chapter has their own specific requirements for a man to join their organization.

Do I have to go to all recruitment events?

No you don't have to attend any specific number of events. Each chapter decides individually who they will extend a bid to. It is possible to receive multiple bids and if this happens it is up to the individual to choose which bid he will accept.[/ebs-toggle]

What if I only want to be in a certain fraternity?

Fraternity membership is more than wearing certain letters. Don’t make decisions based on stereotypes and the opinions of others. Take time to check out each chapter; keep an open mind and make the decision that is right for you.
