Chapter History
The Epsilon Psi Chapter at Oklahoma State University–Stillwater was chartered on April 27th, 2014. The Epsilon Psi chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma prides itself in creating a truly unique experience of brotherhood amongst its members. Members are treated with respect and have a unique sense of unity that promotes a more wholesome fraternity.
The goal as a chapter is to provide members with the best college experience possible, by growing and improving each as a man. The chapter endeavors toward increasing the benefits that college naturally brings to men, as well as offer opportunities for development that can only be found in Sig Tau. Through membership in Sig Tau, one can expect to have an amplitude of possibilities in the realms of leadership and will see that the men of the chapter will do nothing but encourage them to become the best version of themselves. The Epsilon Psi Chapter brothers pride themselves in their ability to help one another develop as men, and the ability to improve one another stands as one of the principles that Sig Tau was built upon.
Sig Tau builds noble generations of men. This statement is what Sig Tau is founded upon within its mission statement, and as men strive to do nothing but succeed in this manner. The chapter has done so since the Founding Fathers demonstrated this in 1920, and the chapter is no different in this regard. They take pride in performance in school events, in the ability to develop one another, and in success as students. The chapter succeeds because of the passion that brothers have for this fraternity. Membership is an amazing part of brothers’ college experience and an experience that improves the quality of life.
