Sigma Phi Epsilon became part of the Greek community at USO in October 1998. Known widely at USO as "SigEp," the colony is part of the larges t fraternity in the nation, with over 356 chapters throughout the U.S., including several in southern California. The USO Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon is participating in the Balanced Man Project; a program created in 1991 which sets the standards for all new SigEp chapters. The program requires that all members of the organization must possess the traits of a leader, a scholar, an athlete, and a gentleman; incorporating a sound mind and sound body philosophy. Every aspect of the program insures that the members live up to the expectations of SigEp's mission state– ment: "Building Balanced Leaders of Americas Communities." Since the start of the colony, the members of SigEp have participated in such community service events as the Project Mercy house building in Tijuana, Night without Shelter, the Blood Drive, Kids on Campus, Urban Plunge, and the Giving Tree. For the past three semesters we have maintained the highest GPA, brought abroad 30 new members, placed first in the Greek Olympics and received national recognition for academic superiority from our headquarters .
