Fraternity founders establish scholarship

The Sigma Phi Epsilon Founders Scholarship has been endowed through the Southeast Missouri University Foundation. The Missouri Zeta Chapter's 1999 Founding Fathers at Southeast made contributions totaling more than $5,000, which were matched as part of the Honoring Tradition -- Inspiring Success Comprehensive Campaign. First preference for the scholarship will go to a student in Southeast's Missouri Zeta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon who has held a position in the chapter, elected or appointed, in which they created a program, improved chapter operations or excelled in a creative way in their position. The recipient must have a minimum 2.75 grade-point average. Second preference will go to any currently enrolled male student who is considered a Sigma Phi Epsilon legacy from the Missouri Zeta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity with a minimum 2.0 grade-point average. Third preference will go to any Sigma Phi Epsilon member from other chapters or universities who is enrolled at Southeast and has a 2.5 GPA.
