Georgetown Sigma Phi Epsilon is a non-hazing social fraternity founded on the principles of Virtue, D
Our chapter seeks to provide a fraternity experience uniquely suited to Georgetown’s campus environment. We take the best the Greek tradition has to offer — a sense of community through brotherhood; vibrant social life through a strong campus presence; and a wide range of career and networking opportunities through sustained alumni involvement — and exclude less constructive elements like pledging and hazing, which aren’t in line with our values here at Georgetown.

Georgetown SigEp wants to give a huge thank you to our generous families, friends, alumni, and Georgetown Relay for Life for such an incredible charitable charge. Relay For Life 2017 was a weekend filled with incredible philanthropic zeal and pride. We were able to raise over $31,000 towards cancer research and awareness. This humbling achievement marks the third consecutive year we have raised over $30,000 and provides great motivation for the years to come.
This video created by our own Darius Iraj illustrates the fervent dedication of each member towards our marquee philanthropic event.
