"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
- William Shakespeare

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, founded in 1856 at the University of Alabama, was the first fraternity established in the South. SAE has over 200 chapters and 20 colonies throughout the United States and Canada and other countries across the world, boasting over 270,000 members who have found success in all walks of life. Formally chartered December 13, 1969, MTSU's SAE chapter has been a leader in the MTSU Greek community for over 30 years.

SAE has been very successful at MTSU and will continue this success for years to come. We look forward to meeting you during recruitment and encourage you to visit all of the fraternities. Above the door in our house you will find inscribed, "Brotherhood is the Key." Nowhere is this assertion more clearly demonstrated than among the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Good luck during recruitment.
