Undergraduate SigEp brothers tell us their experiences at SigEp leadership programs are life-changing. Alumni, recent and not, confirm that.
- "I feel as though I have a deeper understanding of who I am as a leader. I have a more awakened understanding of how people work, and how they respond to criticism or encouragement. This has led me to work one-on-one with brothers and develop deeper connections."
- "I came away with a completely different mindset of what leadership is. Leadership is not just about inspiring change or getting a group to accomplish a goal; rather it's a constant process designed to empower those around you to improve themselves and the organization they represent."
Most of the program expenses are funded by alumni donations. Chapters also pay a portion so they have "skin in the game," but the costs are significant and they can't do it alone.
The California Alpha Leadership Endowment (which has a current balance of over $40K) and California Alpha Leadership Direct Fund (over $30K) ensure undergraduate officers and emerging leaders receive leadership and development opportunities throughout their chapter experience. The chapter also has a Chapter Investment Fund of nearly $20K.
Our future young brothers need your support
These programs prepare them for life after college.
Carlson Leadership Academy
For brothers who have shown a desire to lead their chapter, Carlson offers training in leadership techniques, problem-solving as a team, goal-setting and execution. The academy is facilitated by alumni with years of SigEp involvement and senior leadership experience. Chapter leaders leave with increased knowledge and confidence in their ability to create a positive environment for their brothers to grow. Learn more about Carlson.
Ruck Leadership Institute
This advanced leadership intensive equips a Ruck Scholar to lead culture change that extends beyond his chapter and campus and into his community. Executive-level alumni mentors guide attendees on how to engage in difficult and meaningful conversations – a skill they often can't develop on their campuses. Scholars are selected through a competitive application process, and they leave with an awareness of their own leadership styles and a new and better vision for the future. Learn more about Ruck.
Grand Chapter Conclave
Conclave brings together SigEps from every chapter to recognize high achievement, inspire continued success and leave a legacy on the national organization. The legislative process running throughout the biennial event gives delegates the opportunity to create policy, practice public speaking and build consensus. It is an opportunity for college men to connect and see their brothers coming together to define and advance SigEp's vision of personal and collective growth. Learn more about Conclave.
