EDGE is a 12 or 24 hour experience that provides members with the tools to develop healthy life habits. College students today face many challenges: the pressure to fit in, alcohol, drugs, and balancing academics and social time are but a few. Through small group discussions, large group presentations, and offline conversations, participants build their foundation as a Balanced Man in Sigma Phi Epsilon.

EDGE is an opportunity for members to begin finding their balance. EDGE will show members it is possible to study hard, get good grades, and still find time to exercise and enjoy their collegiate career. That it is possible to be the chapter president or student body president and still find the energy to enjoy a chapter event at the local art gallery with a sorority.

This is an opportunity to show members that certain things like abusing alcohol and using illegal drugs have no place in a well-balanced life full of ambitions and goals. As Aristotle wrote more than 2,600 years ago, “success in life is not an act, but a habit.”

All first-year members and Chaplains should attend. These members can bring back the experience to the chapter and to encourage our membership to live the skills they have built through the program.
