Welcome
Welcome to the ΣAE Pennsylvania Phi chapter fraternity website. Our brotherhood was founded in 1856 at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and locally here at Carnegie Mellon University in 1919. Since its inception, over 280,000 college men have chosen to pledge and ultimately become brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, making it the country's largest national fraternity. For a more complete history of ΣAE, please visit our national headquarters' website. Explore our chapter's site for more information about our brotherhood. If you are interested in becoming a member, please stop by to get to know the brothers and feel free to contact any of us.
Upcoming Events
Spring Carnival
Once again Carnival is upon us, but this one promises to be unforgettable. This Carnival, actives and alumni will be celebrating Pennsylvania Phi’s 90th Anniversary at Carnegie Mellon University. Alumni and their families are invited from all over the world to come back to their fraternity for a four day celebration, April 15th-18th, 2010 (Thursday-Sunday). After restarting our Buggy program last year for the first time in a decade, we will be fielding a Men’s and Women’s team this year, with hopes of also running a Men’s B team. We hope to improve upon our 14th place finish out of 32 total teams last year. In addition, we are building a booth to fit this year’s theme of History with a Twist, titled Σtegosauruses Aren’t Extinct. Listed below are the numerous events planned for alumni, including the 90th anniversary banquet:

Greek Sing
Back in 1972, Sigma Alpha Epsilon broke the traditional choir-like style of Carnegie Mellon's annual Greek Sing with a show called Frat Side Story. We are proud to carry on the tradition of writing original scripts to be performed before the Carnegie Mellon community. This year, the Brothers took first place in the Singles division with Titanic On Ice.
We invite you to listen to the ΣAE Greek Sing productions which broke the mold and paved way for our current style.
- Greek Sing 1972: Frat Side Story
- Greek Sing 1973: Fiddler On The Rood
- Greek Sing 1974: The Music Man
