Overview

Mission

SigEp was founded with the Cardinal Principles of Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love. Our mission is Building Balanced Men as a 501(c)7 (designated as a social club, Fraternity).

What it reported doing in 2024

There are three main pillars within the organization: Member Development, Programming, & Recruitment. The membership development services within the Fraternity include implementing opportunities for continuous personal, professional and academic development. The Vice President of Membership Development ensures that these activities benefit each member of the Fraternity. Under Recruitment, we were able to recruit and retain exemplary young men due to our diligent recruitment efforts. The expenses allocated underneath recruitment allow us to provide a scholarship, and run intentional and beneficial events throughout the year. This benefits all new and old members. Our programming activities are designed to benefit every member of the fraternity. The events that are consolidated under programming include, but are not limited to: brotherhood events, philanthropy, programs with other Greek organizations, and award banquets.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Member-benefit provider. The nonprofit used 100% of its reported program spending for member benefits.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
