The "True Gentleman" of SAE, Our Creed

“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 1899

A simple set of words, but a powerful guide by which we here at New York Epsilon of Sigma Alpha Epsilon strive to live and interact with our brothers and our every day life. If you share these beliefs and are interested in joining one of the best fraternities on campus and in the nation, then watch for our formal recruitment events the first few weeks of school.  Recruitment is the time period where Greek organizations recruit prospective members. It is meant to be informative and fun at the same time.

Look out for upcoming SAE rush events! Contact Bud Dickson (603.493.0267; rush.nyep@gmail.com) or call the house at 518-274-1534.  

We have a scholarship application that we encourage all Rushee's to fill out, it can be located here. All details are contained within.
