Welcome to the website of the Tennessee Delta Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon! Sigma Alpha Epsilon prides itself on being an international fraternity with over 230 chapters throughout the United States and Canada with over 250,000 initiated members. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been at Tennessee Technological University since 1969 and has been in existence nationally since 1856. Developing its members into leaders and creating a close brotherhood are very important to Sigma Alpha Epsilon. This is exemplified, as Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the first fraternity to conduct a leadership school for its undergraduate members. A constructive pledgeship is also believed to be the best way to foster a strong brotherhood by having pledge retreats and keeping them involved with the active chapter to create a close knit circle. Sigma Alpha Epsilon maintains a positive presence on Tech's campus by participating in all intramural sports, Homecoming activities, and IFC sponsored events. In the Cookeville area, SAE is active in activities such as Toys for Tots, Teens Need Training after school program, and Highway clean up.

The True Gentleman


The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from goodwill 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)
