Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s founding began nearly two centuries ago, in 1856, when Noble Leslie DeVotie envisioned something greater — a Brotherhood that would live on for generations. Since then, SAE has impacted more than 360,000 True Gentlemen.

Now, you can honor that legacy by joining the 1856 Society.  As a token of our appreciation for joining, you’ll receive a limited-edition pin inspired by the Mansion House, where our first meeting was held — a symbol of our history and your support.

Every donation goes to the SAE Foundation, which prepares our young men for life, provides scholarships and leadership opportunities, and preserves the Levere Memorial Temple. ΦΑ!
