About Us
Massachusetts Epsilon's history and brotherhood embodies the spirit and dedication of True Gentleman by John Walter Wayland. Emerson's Sigma Alpha Epsilon Massachusetts Epsilon chapter was first founded in 1986 as an independent "Phi Alpha Interest Group" in direct result from hazing from other organizations. As Emerson was preparing for the great move from the Back Bay to across the Boston Common, ΣAE was at the forefront of molding the new social scene. And it is there that we remain productive, innovative, gentlemanly and passionate.
Due to our presence within Emerson campus leadership, social events, and Emerson philanthropy events, Massachusetts Epsilon brothers are vital in planning and running events that allow our community to flourish. We have been honored to have collaborated and been sponsored by local businesses such as Maria's Taqueria, Massachussetts Prostate Cancer Coalition, Chicken and Rice Guys, Barbershop Deluxe, Trapology Escape Rooms, and Flat Top Johnny's Billiards Bar. Past events in the recent years have included Pie a Brother, Making Sandwich for the St. Francis House, GoFundMe Fundraiser for Black Lives Matter, On-Campus Video Game Tournaments, Boston Charles River Cleanup, FSL Week, Salvation Army Food Distribution among many others. Brothers are also active throughout campus programs such as Emerson Independent Video, Index Magazine, Comedy Troupes, Campus Activities Board chairs, independent production companies, Bachelors of Fine Arts, and other school organizations. Our brothers include actors, filmmakers, marketers, journalists, sports communications, graphic designers and more. A unique, individual branch of the ΣAE national fraternity, Massachusetts Epsilon works daily to lead by example.
Our Creed
"The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe."
