Provide up-to-date information on Events, Activities, and Philanthropy of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Chapter at UH.
We, Sigma Alpha Epsilon take pride in being one of the most diverse fraternity at the University of Houston. The ultimate mission of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is to promote the highest standards of friendship, scholarship, and service for our members based upon the ideals set forth by our Founders and as specifically enunciated in "The True Gentleman". It is not elitism and superiority that compels the brother of ΣAE, but to simply enhance one another's college experience and serve others here, at HoustonSAE. The oath and tie that we have with eachother is unrivaled by any other Fraternity on campus. With a chapter size that averages smaller than most, we are truly "half the size, twice the heart."
It's these reasons, we can call ourselves, True Gentleman, a motto that has been known in our fraternity for over 150 years.
Houston is home to one of the nation's largest community of SAE Alumni who are anxious to not only support the Phoenix Chapter at UH but are also ready to support you and help contribute to your SAE experience.
The mission of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is to promote the highest standards of friendship, scholarship, and service for our members based upon the ideals set forth by our Founders and as specifically enunciated in our creed, “The True Gentleman.”
"The True Gentleman"
"The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe."
- John Walter Wayland
Sigma Alpha Epsilon consistently turns today’s college students into tomorrow’s leaders. With a comprehensive new-member education program, the True Gentleman Initiative, and more than 150 years of history, the men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon live by our creed.
