Support SigEp – Join the Hoop of Steel Society today

The Hoop of Steel Society is one way that our undergraduate brothers can support the scholarships and leadership programs that are available to them.  For just $19.01, undergraduates can begin a lifelong commitment to supporting organizations, like SigEp, that have made a difference in their lives.  Gifts made to the Hoop of Steel Society campaign will help to increase the Foundation's annual grant to the Fraternity to continue to put on the best leadership programs for our brothers all over the country.

The Hoop of Steel Senior Charge

You may be wondering where the “Hoop of Steel Society” comes from.  One of SigEp’s public Rituals, the Hoop of Steel Senior Charge, is a celebratory banquet or meeting honoring the graduating seniors of the chapter.  As seniors graduate, they, and the entire chapter, are reminded of the bonds that we form as brothers, bonds that are strong and never-ending---a hoop of steel.

“The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.”

- Last line of the Hoop of Steel Senior Charge, from Hamlet by Shakespeare
