History
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded on March 9, 1856, at the University of Alabama located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Events 590 - Bahram Chobin is crowned as king Barham VI of Persia. Year 1856 ( MDCCCLVI) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Leap year Tuscaloosa is a city in west central Alabama in the southern United States. Alabama (formally the State of Alabama;) is a State located in the southern region of the United States of America. Its founders were Noble Leslie DeVotie, Nathan Elams Cockrell, John Barratt Rudulph, John Webb Kerr, Samuel Marion Dennis, Wade Hiram Hampton Foster, Abner Edwin Patton, and Thomas Chappell Cook. Noble Leslie Devotie ( January 24, 1838 – February 12, 1861) was the main contributing founder of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity Their leader was DeVotie, who wrote the ritual, created the grip, and chose the name. Rudulph designed the badge. Of all existing social fraternities today, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the only one founded in the antebellum South.
Founded in a time of intense sectional feeling, Sigma Alpha Epsilon confined its growth to the southern states. By the end of 1857, the fraternity numbered seven chapters. Its first national convention met in the summer of 1858 at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with four of its eight chapters in attendance. Murfreesboro is a city in and the County seat of Rutherford County, Tennessee, United States. Tennessee ( is a state located in the Southern United States. By the time of the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, fifteen chapters had been established.

The fraternity had fewer than 400 members when the Civil War began. Causes of the war See also Origins of the American Civil War, Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War The coexistence of a slave-owning South Of those, 369 went to war for the Confederacy, and seven fought with the Union forces. The Confederate States of America (also called the Confederacy, the Confederate States, and CSA) formed as the government set up from 1861 The Union Army was the army that fought for the Union during the American Civil War. Seventy four members of the fraternity lost their lives in the War, including Noble DeVotie. DeVotie, who served as Chaplain in the Confederate Army is noted as the first Alabama soldier to lose his life in the 'War of Rebellion'. A chaplain is typically a Priest, Pastor, ordained Deacon, Rabbi, Imam or other member of the Clergy serving a group of After the Civil War, only one chapter at tiny Columbian College in Washington, D.C., survived.

When a few of the young veterans returned to the Georgia Military Institute and found their college burned to the ground, they decided to enter the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. The Georgia Military Institute was established on 110 acres a mile from the square in Marietta Georgia on July 1, 1851, on Powder Springs Road The University of Georgia ( UGA) is a public research University located in Athens, Georgia, the oldest and largest of the Athens-Clarke County is a unified city-county in Georgia, US, in the northeastern part of the state at the intersection of U The State of Georgia ( is a state in the United States and was one of the original Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule Founding a chapter there at the end of 1865, along with the re-establishment of the chapter at the University of Virginia, led to the fraternity's revival. The University of Virginia (also called UVa, UVA, Mr Jefferson's University, or The University) is a highly selective public research Soon, other chapters came back to life and, in 1867, the first post-war convention was held at Nashville, Tennessee, where a half-dozen revived chapters planned the fraternity's future growth.
In the 1870s and early 1880s, more than a score of new chapters were formed. Older chapters died as fast as new ones were established. By 1886, the fraternity had chartered 49 chapters, but few were active. The first northern chapter had been established at Pennsylvania College (now Gettysburg College), in 1883 , and a second was placed at Mount Union College in Ohio two years later. Gettysburg College is a private national four-year liberal arts college founded in 1832 in Gettysburg Pennsylvania, adjacent to the famous battlefield Mount Union College is a 4-year private Liberal arts College in Alliance Ohio. Ohio ( is a Midwestern state of the United States. As part of the Great Lakes region, Ohio has long been a cultural and geographical crossroads
Soon after, a 16-year-old Harry Bunting entered Southwestern Presbyterian University in Clarksville, Tennessee, now known as Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. Clarksville is a city in Montgomery County Tennessee, USA Clarksville is the county seat of Montgomery County and is Tennessee 's fifth largest city Rhodes College is a four-year private perennial top tier liberal arts college located in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis is a City in the southwest corner of Tennessee, and the County seat of Shelby County. He was initiated into the Tennessee Zeta Chapter, which had previously initiated two of his brothers. In just eight years, under the guidance of Harry Bunting and his younger brother, George, they provoked Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapters to increase their membership. They wrote encouraging articles in the fraternity's quarterly journal, The Record, promoting better chapter standards. Above all, they gave new life to old chapters in the South (including the mother chapter at Alabama) and founded new ones in the North and West. In an explosion of growth, the Buntings were responsible for founding nearly 50 chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Other chapters during this time were also founded, mostly by local undergraduates, at Dickinson College, Ohio State University, Harvard University, and Bucknell University, among others, including the Michigan Iota-Beta chapter at the University of Michigan, which has since become the third most important chapter due to its high insurance liabilities and historic link between the carpetbagging northern chapters and devastated post-Civil War southern ones. Dickinson College is a private residential liberal arts college in Carlisle Pennsylvania. The Ohio State University ( OSU) is a Coeducational public Research university in the state of Ohio. Bucknell University is a Private university located along the West Branch Susquehanna River in the rolling countryside of Central Pennsylvania in the The University of Michigan Ann Arbor ( U of M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a top-ranked Coeducational public research When Harry Bunting founded the Northwestern University chapter in 1894 , he initiated as a charter member William Collin "Billy" Levere. Bunting passed the torch of leadership to Levere, and for the next three decades, Levere's high spirits brought the fraternity to maturity.
When Levere died on February 22, 1927, the fraternity's Supreme Council decided to name the new national headquarters building The Levere Memorial Temple. Events 1495 - King Charles VIII of France enters Naples to claim the city's throne Year 1927 ( MCMXXVII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Construction of the Temple, an immense German Gothic structure located near Lake Michigan and across from the Northwestern University campus, was started in 1929, and the building was dedicated in the winter of 1930. See also Gothic art Gothic architecture is a style of Architecture which flourished during the high and late medieval period. Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes of North America, and the only one located entirely within the United States.
When the Supreme Council met regularly in the early 1930s at the Temple, educator John O. Moseley, the fraternity's national president, lamented that, "We have in the Temple a magnificent school-house. Why can we not have a school?" Accordingly, the economic depression notwithstanding, in the summer of 1935, the fraternity's first Leadership School was held under the direction of Moseley. In the last years of Moseley's life, he served the fraternity as its executive secretary, capping an academic career that had included two college presidencies. )
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(Virginia Omicron Chapter 1899)
The True Gentleman is the creed of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, which was first adopted by the fraternity sometime in the 1930s. However, it wasn't until the 2001 Fraternity Convention in Orlando, Florida that it was officially adopted as the organization's creed. The definition was discovered by Judge Walter B. Jones, who first came upon it in an Alabama Baptist quarterly of which he was the editor. He sent a copy of it to John O. Moseley, the leader of the annual Leadership Schools, who was quite taken with it. Moseley began using it at the schools. For many years, the author of it was thought to be anonymous until the 1970s when the editor of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge manual, The Phoenix, Joseph Walt, discovered that the U. S. Naval Academy in Annapolis also used it in a manual. The author was denoted there as one John Walter Wayland. "The True Gentleman" had actually first appeared in The Baltimore Sun as part of a competition for the best definition of a true gentleman with Wayland's submission being crowned the winner.
With his family's approval, John Walter Wayland was posthumously initiated into SAE during the Fraternity's 66th annual Leadership School in Chicago. Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. The Virginia Omicron chapter at the University of Virginia was selected as Wayland's chapter since he had completed his master's degree at that institution in 1901.
The Levere Memorial Temple
The fraternity's international headquarters, known as the Fraternity Service Center, is maintained at the Levere Memorial Temple in Evanston, Illinois. Honoring all the members of the fraternity who have served their countries in the armed forces since 1856, it was dedicated on December 28, 1930. The Temple also contains what is considered the most complete library pertaining to Greek-letter fraternities and sororities. The museum on the first floor is devoted to a collection of interesting historical photographs, pictures, and collections from private sources. The walls of the building are hung with oil portraits of distinguished members. The basement contains the Panhellenic Room, on the ceiling of which are the coats-of-arms of 40 college fraternities and 17 sororities, while the niches on the north side contain large murals showing the founding of Phi Beta Kappa in 1776 and that of Sigma Alpha Epsilon in 1856, together with other murals depicting episodes in the history of the fraternity. Perhaps the most outstanding mural in the Panhellenic Room is the reproduction of Raphael's The School of Athens, painted by Johannes Waller in the 1930s. The School of Athens, or it Scuola di Atene in Italian, is one of the most famous Paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist
The building continues to be used for ceremonies and receptions by the various fraternities, sororities, and honor societies at Northwestern University. The impressive chapel of the Temple, with its soaring vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows by Tiffany is used regularly for religious services, and has been the scene of many weddings of Evanstonians and members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In fact, the entire building is open to the public for patriotic, religious, and educational purposes, while the library is also free to scholars seeking material pertaining to the history of any or all college fraternities and college organizations.
Government
In its early days, the government of the fraternity was vested in one chapter, designated the Grand Chapter. The first such chapter was North Carolina Xi at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which was responsible only to the general convention, the last was Tennessee Omega at the University of the South, in Sewanee, Tennessee. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ( UNC, North Carolina, or simply Carolina) is a public, Coeducational Research The University of the South is a private Coeducational liberal arts college located in Sewanee, Tennessee.
Today, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is governed by National Conventions which are held biannually. Here, brothers from all over the country come together to vote on additions and changes to the Fraternity Laws and to elect the Board of Directors. Between Conventions, SAE is governed by a Board of Directors, known as the Supreme Council. This is composed of the Eminent Supreme Archon, Eminent Supreme Deputy Archon, Eminent Supreme Warden, Eminent Supreme Herald, and Eminent Supreme Chronicler. The Executive Director of SAE (A full-time staff position), the Chief Operating Officer, holds the title of Eminent Supreme Recorder.
In addition, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is governed through Province Conventions. A province is a section, or district, of the country which is composed of nearby chapters. These provinces meet regularly to discuss issues concerning its individual chapters. These provinces are led by a Province Archon.
The Record
The fraternity communicates through The Record magazine. It is published quarterly and has been continuously since 1880 . This publication has become popular in social groups throughout the country. One issue of The Record, the fall annual report, is provided free of charge to all active members and alumni at a circulation of 180,000. The other three issues are provided for active members and current donors to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation at a circulation of approximately 30,000.
