Briefly Describe Your Chapter’s Philanthropy Event : Every April SAE hosts our philanthropy event Cookin' for Kids which is a chili cookoff with live bands that raises money for battered children's shelters. Last year SAE raised over $ 15,000 in the event and hopes to increase the amount this year. Money is raised through ticket sales and corporate sponsorships. Please help support us by attending this year's Cookin' for Kids on April 22nd. Tickets will be sold at the door and in advance.

Briefly Describe Your Fraternity : SAE was nationally founded in 1856 and was brought to the University of Texas in 1882. It is the first Greek organization at UT and was even founded a year before the university was established.

The mission of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is to promote the highest standards of friendship, scholarship, and service for our members based upon the ideals set forth by our Founders and as specifically enunciated in our creed.
