The Balanced Man Project

During Sigma Phi Epsilon's 1989 strategic planning process, the Planning Committee
adopted the vision statement, Building Balanced Leadership for America's Communities.

To ensure that the fraternity achieved its vision in undergraduate chapters, a committee of fraternity leaders gathered to develop a new four-year membership development program. Specifically, the committee envisioned a continuous membership development program which would address the following undergraduate and chapter problems.

* Little involvement of elder members
* Poor community involvement
* Limited campus involvement
* Poor understanding of the values articulated in the Fraternity's ritual
* Limited focus on good leadership practices, including goal setting, mentoring and ..respect for self and others.

With the assistance of volunteers and undergraduates, the committee created the Balanced Man Program. Furthermore, Sigma Phi Epsilon will go beyond Phi Beta Kappa when chapters demolish the "frat boy" stereotype through focusing on the development of a sound mind and sound body. The Balanced Man Program is the best tool to reach that goal.

The Program

The Balanced Man Program is a four year membership development program implemented in chapters on a voluntary basis. Implementation began in Fall 1992.
