SIGEP'S BALANCED MAN SCHOLARSHIP
Florida Alpha's Chapter has one of the largest Balanced Man Scholarships in the entire United States and continually gives to deserving students based on their character and their balanced traits.
The Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity created the Balanced Man Scholarship in an attempt to reward young men who lead well-rounded, balanced lives. SigEp strongly believes in the development and cultivation of a sound mind, a sound body, and a sound spirit. Modern college men must lead healthy lifestyles, academically, physically, and socially, to meet the increasing demands placed upond them once they leave their collegiate career. Sigma Phi Epsilon wants to assist students to prepare for the rigors of the "real world." The awarding of this scholarship will be to those who best embody the concept of the Balanced Man. ideal.
"Leader, Scholar, Athlete, Gentleman"

SigEp competes at the highest level in every intramural sport on the University of Florida campus. Athletic excellence demonstrated by the fraternity is evident in the numerous championships in individual sports, as well as the numerous Presidents Cup Championships Sigma Phi Epsilon has won.
Additionally, brothers have taken advantage of opportunities on campus to showcase their athleticism and join University of Florida club and Varsity Sports teams. SigEp members compete in a multitude of club sports including the UF Lacrosse team, UF Hockey team, and 2006 National Champion UF Ultimate Frisbee team.

SIGEP INVOLVEMENT
SigEp brothers go on to be leaders of today, but let us not forget where they began. Countless hours of hard work, strong fraternity support, and a dedication to excellence have led many SigEp's, past and present, to hold some of the highest positions at the University of Florida. The University's former Student Body President, Jordan Johnson, and former Gator Growl Producer, Matt Sloan, are members of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Both of these individuals say their foundation was strengthened by their experiences in SigEp.

Gator Growl and SigEp have become synonymous throughout the years. Gator Growl is the worlds largest, entirely student run pep rally and multimedia event. Behind the array of timeless celebrities, athletes and political figures at Gator Growl, SigEp leadership has been on the forefront in making the event a success and one of UFs most celebrated traditions.
Several brothers are also key to making Gator Growl a success. Aaron Heger serves as the Associate Producer of Finance, handling a budget well over $1 million. Mike Band serves as the director of cameos, getting some of the most recognizable and respected individuals in the country to show their support for the Gator Nation. In addition, Robert Fregosi serves as the Director of Finance, David Yergey serves as the Director of Art/Layout and Steffen LoCascio serves as Director of Casting and Production. A countless number of other brothers serve as assistant directors to help make Gator Growl a success every year.

SIGEP SOCIALS
Imagine...you and around 150 of your closest friends in the company of the most beautiful women at the University of Florida! Imagine walking out of your back door and seeing a tropical paradise created especially for you and the date of your choice: or being on 1 of the 5 party buses headed for Knoxville, TN with a 3 to 1 girl-guy ratio. Imagine attending a series of themed parties like, “CEOs and Secretaries” and “Good vs. Evil”! Imagine sitting in a huge block at Gator football games, watching the Gators beat LSU in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and then celebrating at the most prestigious fraternity house on campus! Now imagine doing it for four years and telling stories about it for the rest of your life!
SOCIALS
SigEps at the University of Florida are held to the high standard of being a leader, a scholar, an athlete and a gentleman. Because of this, we’ve become true balanced men in everything we do, including our social lives. Our social calendar is unmatched across the University of Florida campus, and it truly gives every brother here at Sigma Phi Epsilon the college experience they could only dream of, one that is full of unforgettable memories.
FOOTBALL GAMEDAYS
Gamedays are one of the best times at UF. They begin with Sigep hosting a barbeque with one of UF's hottest sororities They continue on with Florida fans packing the stadium to watch as Tim Tebow leads them to yet another victory! It all ends with a celebration at one campus's most prestigous fraternity houses.
Didn't get tickets? Not to worry. There are always alumni around that would be happy to sell at a fair price, if not give them away for free. If you can't find them, no worries; you can stay back and watch it on our new 50" Plasma TV, located right in our chapter room - complete with full surround sound. Either way, everyone has a blast.
ROADTRIPS
Every year Sigep host one of its famous road trips to the biggest game in the SEC. Imagine 7 charter buses packed full with your best friends and some UF's most beautiful women. There you have the chance to watch as UF continues its dominance and taunt opposing fans about thier current loss. Along with that, we make yearly road trips to Georgia and opposing SEC games. It is there we setup our very own tailgates and show our support.
SAFARI
Every year Sigep hosts its infamous Safari date function in which we work all week long to build our own olympic size pool, sauna and hot tub. It is truly an amazing sight. Its no wonder that it is known campus-wide as one of the craziest parties of the year and is truly an honor to be invited.
