For all of you incoming freshman, I hope that you will take this opportunity to apply for our Balanced Man Scholarships. These scholarships do not require you to join Sigma Phi Epsilon; they are simply our way of recognizing men who live up to the ideal of the Balanced Man. SigEp holds recruitment events during the summer, and at the beginning of the Spring and Fall semesters, so please contact me or one of the Rush Captains for more information. You may also learn about us from the IFC website (http://ifc.tamu.edu), at the New Student Conferences in the summer, and at MSC Open House in the fall. Thank you for your interest in SigEp and we look forward to seeing you in the fall.
Sincerely,
Blake Wilson
