Task forces and committees
Sigma Phi Epsilon often establishes task forces and committees to work on special projects or support ongoing initiatives of the Fraternity. These task forces and committees are made up predominantly of alumni-volunteers, and many include undergraduate representatives as well. Each group has a chairperson appointed, as well as a liaison on the National Board of Directors. Task forces and committees do not serve for any uniform amount of time.
See below for a list of current task forces and committees. Contact any committee chairman at communications@sigep.net.
