Family, friends, and alumni. As many of you may know the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at East Carolina University has been officially closed. Founded in 1961 here at East Carolina, we have always strived to produce the best possible gentlemen, provide safe and social activities, and to give back to our community and our philanthropies. Those who received the email from our National headquarters, were unfortunately misled. The actions of a few brothers, some of whom have moved on in life and no longer are associated with the fraternity, were included in the reasoning for our chapter's closure. These dates of allegations were traced back to 2010, before our oldest active member had even graduated high school. We as the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon do not post this to ask for forgiveness nor pity, but to let everyone know that we will be closing our doors, and we will be falling on the sword together, as one. We want to express that our Nationals cannot and will not ever be able to destroy the friendships and brotherhood that WE have created at East Carolina University, simply because it doesn't fit their business model. SigEp NC Kappa wishes the brothers, both graduated and still in school, the best of luck in future endeavors and to not fall apart, but come together and continue our friendship that we have accumulated over the years. This, my brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon at East Carolina University, is the true meaning HFF.
